Certain moments in time are remembered in history and the day that former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain committed suicide is one of them. On this day 20 years ago, Cobain took his own life in his Seattle home, changing the music world forever. With Nirvana, Cobain ushered in a new era of music and became the face of a budding generation of grunge. This proved to be too much for him though, as he battled with drug addiction, before it finally brought him to the edge.
While the world did have Cobain, he continued to give us classic music that still resonates and continues to be revolutionary to this very day. Songs like “Smell Like Teen Spirit,” “In Bloom,” “Come As You Are,” and so many more still deserve just as much attention as they did when released over 20 years ago.
Rather than focusing on why Kurt took his own life so tragically, we have decided to lock in on the music and bring you an essential Nirvana playlist. Remember the man that was Kurt Cobain today, and forever through his incredible music.
