What is it that makes me, someone who loathes pretty much every band that was big in the nineties, like Nirvana so much? A big part of the appeal is Kurt Cobain’s strong personal charisma. I mean, seriously, he was way hotter than Billy Corgan. Then there’s the dramatic appeal of the whole sordid, tragic, short story, compelling precisely because it was short. Cliched as it sounds, it really was the definitive cautionary tale of that era. The music may be nineties grunge to the max, but there’s a sense that underneath all that feedback and loudness there was some soul.
