    No… No that can’t be right. 1994 was like… shit.

      I remember how I heard about his death. I was watching MTV Europe and Ray Cokes was saying a dead person was found in Cobain’s house.

        And then the next days, news were all about teens who committed suicide (or failed to, ending up as vegetables) in a similar fashion.

        That was weird.

            Not denying but it sounds surprising to me. I wonder how it works

              Yeah I was also really surprised by the contagiousness of suicide. When I first saw the article I linked I thought “how cruel they won’t give a student a space in the yearbook, it would help the grieving family so much”. Then I read it all and it made sense. I feel horrible for those families but at the same time they likely don’t want to be responsible for other families suffering what they have gone through just to have a photo of their child in the yearbook.

        I don’t remember how I heard about it, but I was in the middle of my “fuck everyone and everything people enjoy” phase of being a teenager, so I was probably happy about it unfortunately.

          I was 14 and I remember it quite well. All us teens in the park behind our apartment building had long discussion about it. I also remember all the copy cat suicides that followed his death to.

          But yes Nirvana is now classic rock!

          That was just what was known. Cokes had a live show and they just got the news that a dead person had been found in Kurt Cobain’s house.
