A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ TH-cam. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of TH-cam I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on TH-cam won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This TH-cam channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

This song changed everything for a whole generation.
I’m not even that into Grunge Rock but he’s right they killed it .. amazing song !! RIP Kirk Cobain .. he’s so good it’s ridiculous !!
I was a metalhead in the late 80s. I remember this video coming on, sitting there floored and realizing that hair metal just died. Something else was coming. My buddy sitting beside me had the exact same reaction.
I was in junior high from 88-90. I remember distinctly thinking that I wish there was music that really spoke to me. Basically most people I knew were either into NKOTB or hair metal. I leaned towards hair metal, but the music still left me wanting.
A year later, I heard this, and was like "this is it! That's the sound!" It just tapped into something collective for gen x. Rage, apathy, boredom, whatever it was, I felt it to my core.
@@randipearson4930 Kurt Cobain not kirk
*generations
Can we just appreciate how there are only 250 videos on TH-cam with 1 billion views and this is one of them.
Thank You...:)
The song that defined a generation.
Can we also appreciate two of the 250 are also Guns N Roses videos
For a band that last played in 1994. Unbelievable.
Man it doesn’t feel long ago when Gangnam style became the first video with 1billion. Can’t believe there are 250 now!
I am envious, I wish I could go back in time to see my own reaction when this first came out. No internet, cell phones back then. Just mTV, radio and cassettes/CD's. Hard to express how huge an impact this song had on us gen X'ers
And some of us born before then, too. Genius. That band had it.
Man it was beautiful
I’ve never met anyone who hadn’t heard of Nirvana. It’s like you’re brand new.
keep in mind, nirvana has not existed in twenty six years. it's difficult to fathom but not impossible.
Love watching the younger people discovering what we grew up with. I think i was about 22-24 when this came out. My at the time boyfriend got me into them. I think he'd like The Red Hot Chili Peppers too.
@@peterusso4873 LOL No doubt!
Right..... I was born after Elvis died......knew who the fuck he was. Same goes for every big act from 40's on through the 80's . I wasn't like a teenager thinking ....who's this Ray Charles guy....never heard of him. Buddy Guy, Fats Domino ? Please...in age before the internet most people knew who all the major performers were. I don't buy any of the reaction channels .
Keith Aguilar exactly
This song dropped out of nowhere and completely took over an entire generation and launched the grunge movement! Grunge was a sub-genre of alternative. The typical "grunge" song was driven by heavy instrument distortion and angst-filled lyrics that a lot of us young folks were drawn to. To completely understand the impact grunge had on Gen X, you have to understand the prior decade, the 80's. Most of us had parents who were busy climbing up the corporate ladder or we had one parent struggling to make ends meet! Either way we were alone a lot. The music was horrible in my opinion, a lot of one-hit wonders, pop princesses, and dudes in bright spandex, eyeliner and big, over-processed hair. The lyrics were empty and my friends and I couldn't relate to them. When grunge made it's way to the midwest, most of us became grunge. It became a "look" and we were all the way in! Finally, there was lyrics that spoke to us! A group of young midwest GenX misfits finally found their place. Unfortunately, there's only two grunge OGs left, Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam and an honorable mention has to go to Dave Grohl!
Andrew Wood - RIP
Kurt Cobain - RIP
Layne Staley - RIP
Chris Cornell - RIP
Scott Weiland - RIP
I have to mention Chester-RIP - he came later but he spoke to my soul! I hope Heaven has a stage and off to the right, a pit!!
The weird thing is anyone outside North America knew it was just a matter of time. With the US there is around a 8 to 10 year cycle where a new or modified style breaks through and becomes popular and Grunge was the one for the early 90's but it wasn't actually something new. Even though Punk had arguably started in New York in the early to mid 70's it never took hold in the US but hit big in the UK and elsewhere. Come the early 90's and the youth in the US was looking for a new music to call their own and suddenly they embraced these bands that were playing a form of punk and Grunge was born. If you listen to the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Joy Division, The Jam, Boomtown Rats etc you can see where the sound that became Grunge was being adapted by the British & Irish bands from people like Iggy and the Stooges in the US. People outside the US were already well and truly grounded in that style by the time Grunge hit in North America and many had always been a little surprised that Punk hadn't been bigger in the US in the first place. Those ragged angry riffs and vocal stylings could have been designed in a lab to appeal to teenagers - it just works on such a primal level.
@@alphaomega7191 Ummm if you only pay attention to top 10 you would think punk never became big in the USA. But punk was all over the USA with bands in almost every city and many many towns.
@@GKinslayer - Thats kind of the point - it was there lurking waiting to break through but hadn't done it yet. So it really wasn't out of nowhere but rather a almost certain event.
Whats weird is the history of American Music in the 20th Century was easily predictable when you look at it logically. Black Americans would come up with a musical style - cool white Americans would enjoy that style - White record companies would then get white artists to record in that style which would send it Mainstream - Black Americans would decide that the style was no longer theirs and create a new style and the process would repeat. Up until the early 60's this was a constant pattern. Then the Civil Rights Era saw Black artists begin to become more mainstream and slowly gain more musical control which meant the cycle began to change. The music didn't go out of fashion for the black population as much anymore and the white record companies started to look elsewhere for new stufff. You got the British Invasion which was re-purposed American style rock married to more traditional British melodic they lyrical traditions, they embraced Country more heavily, they then embraced the hard rock style of Sabbath/Hendrix/Zepplin and when Punk hit in the UK tried that in America but the innate conservatism in American society especially places like the mid-west didn't take to it as much. Meanwhile African Americans had started to control their own record labels and when Hip-Hop and Rap hit they really controlled that music which is why that became the standard and has never really gone out of fashion. Meanwhile the mainstream white population kept up it's cyclical trend which meant that at some point a version of Pop Punk was going to come into fashion as they were at this point recycling older styles and marrying them with a pop sensibility. We got Hair Metal and that was followed by Grunge, the pop Country of people like Shania Twain, Teen Idols recycled in Spears/N'Sync etc. So in the Late 20th Century it reached a tipping point when the Internet began to become a thing - people began to have much more easy access to music and this has led to things no longer really being in or out of fashion and many of the old styles becoming successful again - people like Michael Buble does his 50's style Lounge stuff, a generation of women sing in that 50s/60's soul way and their are a ton of folky singer songwriters out there. We might not actually see a big boom like Grunge again simply because there's really no such thing as being in or out of style anymore and people can like say Ed Sheerin and Adele and Katy Perry and Lady Gaga and Disturbed and Slipknot or Daft Punk and not feel like they have to choose a genre anymore - now we get K-Pop and Japanese cute metal girl bands and nobody really blinks an eye because everything is acceptable and people will simply enjoy music if it sounds good to them rather than worry about if it's in fashion.
@@alphaomega7191 Grunge was nothing but emo-core slightly re-tuned - see Rights of Spring and Honor Role. It was record label bullshit that came up with the term. Also you seem REALLY blind to the whole punk subculture. It didn't involve record labels because for the longest time punk was like poison to the companies. Almost ALL the punk much you can find in the USA was put out by either the bands themselves or with others in the scene - heard of the term DIY? It came from punk since if we didn't do it, it didn't get done. The bands, the shows, the zines, etc - all of it was just us. Hell when I moved to Savannah in the later 80's my friends and I started putting on shows out of boredom since no one else was. We lost money every time, which we excepted - we just wanted to see some bands. As for pop punk - what you know if it - Green Day and the rest were bought up by record labels or created by them. They mellowed their sound so they could be sold in Wal-Mart.
@@GKinslayer - I'm anything but unaware of Punk - I come from a place and culture that had embraced it well before it became popular in the US. I agree it always existed post the CBGB era in the US as a sub-culture. There are always a lot of sub-cultures and they rarely break-thru to become mainstream because of the effect I mentioned - once they become popular the people who originally embraced them often feel dis-enfranchised and move on. My point remains that Grunge was always going to happen it was just a matter of when in response to the idea that Grunge came out of nowhere - at some point Record Companies were always going to try to repackage Punk in a new and perhaps more palatable form it was just a matter of when not if. Many of the Seattle bands had a mix of Punk and Pop/Rock in their sound which made them ideal for said repackaging - often Punk bands think melody is anti-Punk but in Seattle it was seen as fine to have melody in your work which meant with marketing the sound could cross-over. I dont know if they had to mellow their sound really although they definitely added a level of production polish.
i remember being mesmerized by this song when it first came out. it was so raw and so different from everything that was out at the time. believe it or not, it was refreshing.
Nirvana was my favorite band in high school so sad when Kurt killed himself. Watch their MTV unplugged songs when MTV used to play music. You will see Kurt in a new light. Also fun fact Dave Grohl playing drums is the lead singer of Foo Fighters. Nirvana brought alternative grunge music to life in the 90’s.
Jennifer Zekas I was in Jr High, it was like when my parents talk about Elvis dying... there has been other talent but NOBODY will ever compare for what it is to Kurts soul ❤️❤️
Agreed that the MTV session with Kurt ( and separately also Vedder) was a testament to true talent. It wasn't until after his passing that I read how often he spoke against social injustice. He HATED how the industry treated kick arse talented women musicians and he had no tolerance for those who oppressed people with a diff sexual life. Grohl was writing all kinds of great stuff while behind the drum set but stayed back out of respect for the talent that Kurt had.
Kel Pradovich they just don’t make em the same anymore 😵😕❤️
Soaked in Bleach. Check it out. It was a coverup.
@@thomasdenney6898 guy did not kill himself.. spot on!
The anthem of my generation X 🤘☯
My friend, I am a sound engineer, I want to tell you something, there are only two ways to listen to music correctly: if you are outdoors, with a sound system with at least 200,000 watts of music, if you are indoors, with a good pair of Hi-Fi headphones !!!
Exactly what I've been saying!!!
Na Vi ~ Would have you happen to have any recommendations for a decent pair of headphones, that don't break the bank? Ahead of time thank you for your guidance. 😊
@@vashtiramsaroop5410 Without spending a fortune! Commercial headphones of brands such as Sennheiser, JBL, AKG, Pioneer, Roland, JVC ... Important: that they are closed headphones, for good sound insulation and that they have wire and jack, absolutely no wireless or bluetooth!
Lol
Yeah get some AKG, Sennheiser, or Grados.
This song quite literally changed the entire world.
I know I’m old now, but I can’t imagine living in a bubble where I had never heard of Nirvana. They were everything to my generation. That’s like not knowing the Beatles or Led Zeppelin.
Agreed. Fuckin weird to see.
It’s near unbelievable
it's a youtube clickbait thing that all these "reaction videos" do.
These are all fake
You know the drummer is good when all you can see is sticks and hair. Love DG
Aka dave grohl.... foo fighters
man, you make me feel old. this was my middle school and high school years. The drummer for Nirvana, Dave Grohl, went on to start Foo Fighters, which is an awesome group as well.
Not to "date" myself but I was a sophomore. LMFAO. Still love Nirvana!
I too feel quite old 🤣🤪😃
Great Nirvana songs: Heart Shaped Box, Where Did You Sleep Last Night (unplugged), Lake of Fire (also unplugged).
I know someone already mentioned it...But this song changed the world(music and pop culture) over night....I was in 9th grade when this came out after one airing on MTV one afternoon suddenly the world was Grunge.
Foo Fighters “The Pretender” someone already mentioned but I’m gonna mention it anyway!! He, the lead singer, is the drummer from Nirvana
This is the song that started the "grunge" rock movement. To stay inside that genre react to "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam. Absolute classic.
Actually, the 'Pixies' started the 'grunge-style' around 1988 with tracks such as their single, "Where Is My Mind". In fact, even Kirk Cobain oftentimes remarked how much Nirvana was influenced by the Pixies.
Check out their 1987 song "Where Is My Mind". The music video on TH-cam is a recent fan-made one with scenes from a 2000s movie...but the song itself is actually from 1987. th-cam.com/video/N3oCS85HvpY/w-d-xo.html
It didn't start the grunge movement, it accelerated it to the mainstream.
This song single-highhandedly put the final nail in a decade of glam-rock.
Glam rock was the 70s and Bowie , 80s was hair metal
Ok I watched an interview on MTV. Jani Lane of warrant was saying their song, Cherry Pie, with posters of the album cover all over the record executives walls was everywhere and Nirvana's album dropped and in less than a month the end of an era with the 80's hair bands died..dead...gone and in rolled the grunge scene. Kurt had his finger on how we were all feeling.
To be fair the hair metal scene was basically dead already, they'd been completely co-opted by corporate music labels and they weren't creating anything original or unique. I truly believe Grunge so easily took over because you could feel how genuine this was the second you heard it. You could listen to any Metallica or GnR song and almost know what you were gonna get, but this was like a fusion of rock, metal, folk and punk, and it had real integrity that was somehow translated perfectly. Of course, it helps that the biggest market for popular music was teens, and this song is literally written about teenage angst lol
GNR lasted for a little longer than most other hair bands.
I was the ONLY one in our school that liked Nirvana when they came out. Everyone teased me calling it trash. They were 80's hair band fans.
3 years later Kurt dies, suddenly everyone was wearing grunge to school.
We OG'd the entire school!
Come As You Are, Heart Shaped Box, You Know Your Right, pretty much any of Nirvana is worth listening to.
This music is such a huge part of our generation it's crazy hearing the next one say they've never heard of it. it's almost unbelievable like am I really getting that old????
Yep this one song made "glam rock" not just un-cool but borderline embarrassing!
BTW The drummer is Dave Grohl who is Lead Guitar / Vocals for the Foo Fighters, not only massively talented but massive sence of humour the guy is FaF and a legend😂
Come As You Are, Lounge Act, Where Did You Sleep Last Night and You Know You're Right are my personal favorites, but all of their songs are fantastic. Live at Reading 1992 and MTV Unplugged are some of their best performances.
Nirvana was one of the biggest rock bands of the early 90's. In April of 1994 Kurt Cobain, the lead singer, committed suicide (or was murdered depending on what you believe) in his home in Seattle. The song You Know You're Right was the last song he recorded and wasn't released until 2002, 8 years after his death.
Not many talk about it but Nirvana Live at Paradiso is in my opinion their best recorded concert. It was the start of their success and Kurt was on point and having fun.
@@chrislain1349 I don't think I've seen that one yet, I'll have to check it out.
Way back in the early 90's, someone gave me a foreign import of Nirvana. It was called "Outcesticide". On it, there is a song called "Do You Love Me?"......... You can tell is was recorded way before. The song is so different, it makes me laugh anytime I hear it.
Look it up, you will be amused!
You can't help but like Nirvana.
Still to this day one of my favorites of theirs was their leadbelly cover of where did you sleep last night
This song changed pop culture overnight, it's fun to see someone experience it for the first time.
Now react to the song "Smells like Nirvana" by Weird Al Yankovic.
Kurt was a big fan of Al & actually worked with him to make "Smells Like Nirvana".
@@rodgerbroadway2195 he said that loved the video. Kurt understood.
No
@@davidl9771 Yes
😆😋
No matter how many timetimes I hear Kurt's voice I get chills everytime you should listen to where did you sleep last night it is amazing
You have liked at least 10 rock groups already. I think it's safe to say....YOU LIKE ROCK MUSIC!
That line: "Oh well, whatever, nevermind" STILL gets me. For those few seconds I'm back in the 90s and a teenager again Every Single Time.
This song dropped in my freshman year of high school in 1991and changed everything! Nirvana was the soundtrack of my high school years. My children are 16, 13 and 12 and have never not known who Nirvana was. My children have grown up on Queen, Nirvana, Michael Jackson, NWA, Dolly Parton and so on. Now they school me on today's music but we all embrace every genre of music. Music is truly the bridge that can bring every generation, every walk of life together. I love these reactions!
Never heard of Nirvana? I am beginning to feel old. In my mind everyone knows Nirvana but obviously young people haven't....Strange how time passes....
I am not really into rock but Nirvana is great.
That's how I felt when this song came up on the classic rock station a few years ago.
NIRVANA: Aneurysm at Paradiso....their best recorded concert in my opinion. You won’t be disappointed!!
You probably figured out this was a Grunge band. Out of Seattle Washington. Brilliant artist. Rest in peace.
This is grunge and when they came on the scene the hit huge worldwide back in the mid 90's. The lead singer passed at the height of their popularity. The band then disbanded.
Gotta appreciate someone who's not a fan of a genre giving it an open mind and really appreciating it for what it is. pretty awesome...
Dude you have no idea how much joy it brings to my heart to see you vibing on this song. I was 16 when it came out and it changed my life.
This is one of those songs when you can remember where u were and what u were doing when u heard it for the first time. Changed lives.
Nirvana was my generations Beetles. They dropped this bomb on the music scene and the whole of rock was changed almost overnight. RIP Kurt.
Every song on the Nirvana- Nevermind album is awesome
I love sharing my youth with you, the best, most influential and range of music genres and greats.
Their concerts were so much fun!!!
I don't know what other Nirvana songs you've done since you posted this but Breed and Aneurysm are my favorite Nirvana songs.
Listen, this song changed the game all around! Even the hood was banging this hard! RIP Kurt!!
My man. I cant tell you how much I value your honesty. Its refreshing! Please, please do The Doors, Touch Me! Thanks brother!!
I remember getting my driver's license and jamming to this going to school. Then in 94 going to school hearing about his death. I was sad the rest of the day. I still am sad about his death. He's a legend!!!
"In Bloom", "Heart Shaped Box", "Lithium" among others...Nirvana definitely changed music...
My mouth just literally dropped open when you said you’ve never even heard of the band Nirvana. Glad you’re at least getting introduced now!
Man, with each reaction i see from you, YOU are a rock fan!
I was in high-school when this came out. It changed the WORLD 🌎
Another great Nirvana song is Come as you are
All apologies is a great song of theirs. Their MTV unplugged is amazing !!!
The song isn't slowing down - it's the intensity that's changing. This is the soundtrack of my youth. I was VERY lucky to see Nirvana in Adelaide in 1992 - just a couple years before Cobain died.
Heart Shaped Box, In Bloom, Come As You Are!
Not a Nirvana fan at all but they have a huge following. I am into classic rock myself, like Meatloaf, Pink Floyd, Styx, Journey, Little River Band, ELO, etc.....They were all before auto tune and could actually sing good.
When you're granddaughter is called Raynor Nirvana ❤️
if you haven't heard any nirvana songs and specially this one then you live under a rock! they were huge in the 90'
Nirvana killed the Disco Era. Thanks u Nirvana !!!
A change for a generation. I loved them from the first time I heard them. I am a mom and was just trying to keep up with what the kids listened to, but still listen to them today!👍🎶❤
5th grade. This song was not only what got me into rock but music in general!
I remember when this song first played on MTV. They had closed captions for the lyrics!
This song changed my life. I grew up in the 80's and I hated the music of the 80's so when my little brother brought this home for mw to listen to I tried it. I looked him in the eye and said this band is going to change everything. I wasn't wrong. I found my music (grunge and alt) finally. I love 90's music
This song saved my life in the late 90s. My school bus got hit by a train in fox river grove illinois. This song got me through....
I saw this video standing in my living room at five years old and I was mesmerized!! Even then I knew they were something special. Take a listen to some Alice Chains “Would”, “Man In A Box”, “Them Bones”, “Rain When I Die”, Dont Follow”...many more by that band! Check out some Black Sabbath “War Pigs”, “Sweet Leaf”, “Snowblind”, “NIB”...Come As You Are, Heart Shaped Box, Where Did You Sleep Last Night (MTV Unplugged) Lithium, You Know You’re Right are some of my favs from Nirvana!!
RIP Kurt. This band made so many great songs in only a few short years
I grew up in this scene during the early 90’s. It was awesome. Nothing like today. I remember bands would tell people at the shows if you’re a racists, sexist, or bigot, to gtfo or get your ass kicked.
This song ruled the world at one point.
This song killed hair bands literally overnight! I remember hearing this song for the 1st time and being transfixed, I was still in high school, the buzz the next school day was off the charts! Grunge rock was born and hairspray sales took a dive I’m sure!😜 Suddenly messy hair, faded out blue jeans with holes, worn old t-shirts, ragged flannel shirts, scuffed up tennis shoes, were all the craze! That’s the power of music!!!
Need to see Weird Al’s cover of this. Smells like Nirvana. He is a parody artist. Starting in the 80’s you didn’t know you made it till Al covered you.
Rip Kert. He is one of the musicians in the 27 Club.
I was a freshman in high school when this came out. I remember it and where I was like 9/11! It changed everything and I knew it while watching the video for the 1st time.
Welcome to rock and roll fandom. 😎✌️
I just can't bellive that Someone didn't heard list just one song from NIRVANA,,,,awwwww KURT COBAIN is a legenda od Grunge💞💓♥️.Miss you Kurt💞
It’s insane to me that someone could have never heard this song! I love it though, fun to watch people hear it for the first time. As I’m sure people have mentioned, this band changed rock and roll and influenced so many artists after and still do till this day
This is actually grunge. Kurt Cobain was a genius!
i can tell you really like it, and that deserves a sub and a like...
If you're interested in going down a rabbit hole, the way this song goes back and forth between quiet and loud was their attempt to recreate the sound of The Pixies, another great alternative rock band that you should listen to!
That slow fast slow style was from Pixies. ✌
Hehe. I'm really looking forward to seeing the look on your face when they start.playing
Nirvana MTV unplugged one of the best albums of all time - an acoustic set. Just awesome.
Over a billion views on their video. Love this song.
Where did you sleep last light? - off the unplugged album is my favorite deep cut. That song just does things.
Nirvana: Come As You Are PLEEASSEE!!!!!!!
Now you need to do The Foo Fighters- The Pretender, it’s this drummers band after Kurt died, they’re fantastic!
You gotta give rock a chance, most genres are I fluenced by rock and blues
Omg, Ima bout to watch u freak out! this is so fun
D
...don't be sad when u find out
Brett G
This band reinvented rock in the early 90’s ... or some might say they popularized the reinvention of rock. Either way, extremely influential.
Routinely rated the most influential band of the 90s.
This is the GRUNGE ERA, bands like PEARL JAM, ALICE IN CHAINS, SOUNDGARDEN, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, COLLECTIVE SOUL, THE OFFSPRING, LOCAL H, TEMPLE OF THE DOG (super group with pearl jam and soundgarden), BLIND MELON, THE TOADIES, JANE'S ADDICTION, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, AND MANY MORE
The Birth of Grunge..Nirvana Miss you Kurt
This song came out when i was 20 and it killed "Hair Bands" of the 80s for me. Thank god they did! This is real shit. How frustrated and bored the kids were/are and want to be entertained. They have a lot of truth in their songs.
Their sound is a genre of Rock/Metal called Grunge music. Started in Pacific NW - Seattle area. They were pioneers of it.
The drummer, Dave Grohl, went on to form the Foo Fighters twenty- five years ago. Please try out some of their stuff. Tons of great music, and they make the best videos. Maybe try "The Pretender" or "Learn to Fly". Love your reactions!
Changed the music industry and popular culture.
This album was awesome, gotta check out their history , the defined a generation , tragic how it all ended ..
It's that billygoat sound effect that they use in the chorus that makes this song the great song that it is.
First heard it in my college dorm room.. changed everything
I love Nirvana... How about reacting to Come As You Are? :)
Nirvana doing Man Who Sold The World at MTV Unplugged is one of the best cover songs in the history of music.
Nirvana's drummer Dave Grohl started up a band called Foo Fighters after Kurt Cobain's death. Check out the Foo Fighters' song Walk. Such a great tune.
heads up - Come As You Are is a must-listen when it comes to nirvana
how is it possible you never even heard of Nirvana? not know them, but just heard of them.
A turning point song for a generation. If you were in high school when this song came out, your world view changed. When Kurt killed himself, school basically shut down for a day. Every kid was so overwhelmed, counselors were brought in from everywhere because there were too many people who needed answers to questions they couldn't get. Why did he do it? If he couldn't make it how could we. Nirvana and Kurt literally changed the world for Gen X.
"Lake of Fire" "Breed" and "Lithium" are all good songs to listen to from Nirvana. But if you vibe with this whoch is actually Grunge, then you should also check out Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. It would be right up your alley.
