10 Brilliant Lines From Songs Written By Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain was a brilliant man. His drawn out and IDGAF demeanour earned him a cult following. How he ended himself is a legend in itself. Probably one of the most dynamic people in the 27-club, Cobain was known for his weird and trippy lyrics which some said he also didn’t know the meaning behind. Cobain had the habit of writing the lyrics to his songs half an hour before they went for recording. Explains a lot, doesn’t it?

Kurt would have been 49 today. Here are some of the most absurd, brilliant, and whacky lines from his songs.
