12 Highly Emotional Kurt Cobain Quotes that Will Tug at Your Heart Strings
One of the most talented yet troubled artists, Kurt Cobain revolutionized rock music and became an icon of the ’90s.
At the age of eight, Kurt’s happy childhood was startled when his parents divorced. He found solace in music after his uncle gave him a guitar as a birthday gift at the age of 14.
In 1987, he formed his band Nirvana, which in spite of releasing only three full-length albums, became a total success and had a massive influence on modern rock-and-roll culture and defining the Grunge sub-genre.
The hit song Smells Like Teen Spirit represented a defining moment in musical history, and literally transformed Kurt Cobain into a symbol of his generation.

While his journey was a dark one, Kurt definitely knew how to find the right words. Here are 12 Kurt Cobain quotes that will touch you heart.
