Would Kurt Cobain be an SJW?

[Pomniman]

A better question is which popular 80s/90s musicians/bands didn't end up being or weren't already massive faggots in one way or another.

 

[Flavius Claudius Julianus]

Cobain was a dirty faggot. Today he'd be a troon with vocal mental health issues, not to mention being overactive on Twitter.

 

[BrunoMattei]

He would be a successful version of ADF, a massive social justice cow and a troony commie.
- He was a raging leftie and a punk rocker, who frequently talked about women and minorities being oppressed and discriminated against.
- He was a male feminist and hanged out with women more than with men because girls are oppressed.
- He thought America was one step away from turning into Fourth Reich.
- He often shat on religion, huwhites and capitalism, he practically said that men, whites and heteros are privileged.
- His friends also were huge lefties and burning heart libs.
- Kurt hated his voice and body, always wanted to be a girl, put on at least three layers of clothing.
If Kobain was alove today, he would follow the steps of Wachowski brothers: become a rich socialist and troon out.
He definetely would kill himself (and his death would be blamed on us), but before he would produce a lot of tasty tard cum about Trump, white privilege and how everybody who doesn't follow his specific brand of ancom is a nazi.

So like I said, good thing he committed suicide.

 

[TV's Adam West]

Kurt Kobain was only popular because he appealed to the teenage fantasy of being famous without effort. The moment he stopped being relevant, he'd have absolutely made a song about Trump and added pronouns to his twitter.

If he hadn’t topped himself this would have been his trajectory-
Maybe one more album, drop out halfway through touring it, band breaks up, divorce Courtney, ugly custody battle, goes clean and lives in some backwater only to reemerge around 2010 with a so-so acoustic solo album and completely batshit.
Cobain would have slipped into ‘Where is he now?’ territory. John Lennon would have been infinitely worse, thank fuck he was offed, can you imagine that insufferable prick still being around?

A part of me wants to say he might have gone on to denounce or distance from some of his cringey behavior in his youth. It's all cool when you're in your 20's but he could've easily gotten fed up as time passed. A lot of people who were left yesterday have nothing in common with the left today. His feelings toward women or his support for gay people isn't controversial today and are fairly normal views while tranny politics and race have taken over a lot of the social issues on the left. He could have easily shifted more center and went full lolbert seeing the current issues as the lunacy that they are.

Troon Cobain would be hilarious though.

Relevant jokes aside, pretty sure he got some heat near the end for being pro 2A, so he might've been headed there. Plus he resented his place in the zeitgeist so fucking hard from his contrarian nature (obstinate child syndrome*) that all his "underdog" leftist leanings would be driving him up the wall by now.
*possibly rivaling even moz in douche and prickle factor

 

[Coolio55]

Yes. Every punk/rock musician is a SJW.

Kinda weird though, isn't it?
My (ancient) mother says that punk rockers used to go out in nazi uniforms and wear swastikas :0

The "American Idiot" era of mainstream corporate punk redefined it as an Occupy-only space, when previously punk attracted every obscure vector possible of the political compass to the point it looked more like the srgb colorspace.

I always theorized that a hypothetical scenario of Kurt not killing himself would have resulted in a similar trajectory as Alice in Chains -- with Kurt being Layne Staley and Dave being Jerry Cantrell. As in, the band breaks up or goes on hiatus in the mid-90's due to Kurt's drug problem, which causes him to live in seclusion while another member (i.e. Dave) starts his solo project (i.e. Foo Fighters). Then they'd get back together to eke out some more tracks, but ultimately by the turn of the new millennium, Kurt passes away from a drug problem.

That's exactly what happened with AiC: Layne's drug addiction kept hindering their touring and recording during the mid-90's, and they barely even recorded their self-titled 1995 album due to his erratic behavior. Then after that they did their Unplugged special for MTV, and Lane disappeared to become a reclusive junkie whilst Cantrell did his mildly-successful solo work. They recorded some new tunes before the start of the millennium, but Lane ultimately succumbed to heroin shortly thereafter.

In this alternate timeline, Kurt doesn't die in 1994, but instead relapses into his heroin addicting, so Dave ends up releasing the 1st Foo Fighters album during the interim. Maybe they'd scrap together a new album where Kurt has very little input (like in AiC's 1995 album where Layne barely contributed, and Cantrell sang on a lot of tracks), then Kurt goes to live alone in his house in Seattle where he just shoots smack all day before eventually dying by the new millennium.

Remember: the 1st Foo Fighters album was actually a Dave Grohl solo project. He came up with the idea towards the end of Nirvana's tenure and wanted to record his own stuff, but was tied down with the band. After Kurt killed himself, Dave was so emotionally distraught that he completed the album out of pure rage and played every instrument on it. People say that if Kurt never died and if the band never broke up then the Foo Fighters wouldn't exist, but I don't think that's the case. Dave already had the idea for the album when Kurt was still alive, so he would have most likely eventually recorded it anyway, especially if Kurt's erratic behavior in 1994 gave them a reason for putting the Nirvana on hiatus.

 

[Absolutego]

Lol he's from Seattle, had no father figure, and named his daughter Bean because the idea of babies in a fetal position resembling the silhouette of a bean was news to him.

What's amazing to me was that Krist Novoselic ended up being semi-based (for a Northwesterner.)

Krist grew up in a 2-parent immigrant household, had a dad and older brother around, and mostly joined Nirvana because he liked punk. Most importantly for not being a typical PNW denizen, he actually left the area for a while to live with family in Croatia. I don't think Kurt had left Washington state prior to the first Nirvana tour.

Anyone questioning if Kurt would be a SJW should remember that he was basically the celebrity sponsor for the Riot Grrl scene, and that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a reference to something the lead singer for Bikini Kill scrawled on his wall.

 

[Dysnomia]

It was a different era. Back then a lot of people would draw the line at a certain level of PC. Most gen xers made fun of the overtly PC stuff that failed in the 90s. Bill Mahar built a whole career out of it. What was acceptable in the 90s could be seen as very offensive now. But who knows. Kurt could have grown into that type. There was no social media then. You had to rely on MTV, books and magazines to get a look into the minds of celebrities.

I remember exactly what I was doing the day Kurt's body was discovered. I was sitting on the floor on some kind of mat to a 70s game. It was covered in numbers. I was flipping through channels and I saw a news ticker at the bottom of a shot of a big house. The body of Kurt Cobain had been found. That's when I turned on MTV.

Had this been the current year my ability to gather info and crazy conspiracy theories would have been hundredfold.

What did you have to rely on to learn of his personality then? Honestly you had little to go on. We thought the opposite a lot of times because we thought MTV was God in channel form. But compared to now? We all see how social media quickly reveals peoples' true colors.

I also don't see why some people say he'd be a lolcow. Without Courtney I don't think it would really work. He'd be pretty boring on his own. With Courtney, yeah. She was the one who was mostly heading the three ring circus. She was scuzzy and gross. A lot of Nirvana fans hated her.

I think it's impossible to tell how insufferable someone might get if they were from a time before the internet. So I really have no clue.

He was fake as fuck and a massive hypocrite (no better than his archenemy Axl, if anything worse).

So yes.

Axl got a lot better though. He's actually been behaving himself since the reunion. I was pretty surprised. No riots. No being five hours late. He's the one guy I thought would seriously fuck up a reunion.

Kurt Cobain raped a retarded woman

so to answer OP, yes.

which is hilarious because Courtney Love fucking hated Riot Grrl shit

 

[Calandrino]

99.9% chance that this little faggot would troon out in this day and age

He wore a dress and killed himself, seems to me he was pretty much already there.

 

[GhostButt]

That IS funny, because in her own documentary, she said her and her friend only got involved in the scene to fuck hot guys, I thought she was at least into the music a little.
Kurt was a disaster, but Courtney just bathes in shit.

 

[Cilleystring]

Yes. Every punk/rock musician is a SJW.

I find it hilarious that they all came to be the very thing they spoke out against. The system.

 

[Just Another Apocalypse]

Yes. Every punk/rock musician is a SJW

the Ramones?

I thought she was at least into the music a little.

She's a failed actress. People tend to forget, Kurt got with her because she was 'cool', spent the summer doing acid at Droolian Copes gaff as a teenager. She's also in Sid & Nancy, and Straight To Hell.

Kurt was a shallow grifter who was into what was happening, and a whiney cunt... So chances are he would have been an SJW.

 

[Klaptrap]

the Ramones?

Half of the Ramones, Iggy Pop voted for Reagan, Agnostic Front.. Skrewdriver if you wanna get into the explicitly racist end of things.
It's a favorite move for modern "punks" to be dismissive and mocking of the idea that punk can even be right of center. Ironically they're a bunch of elitist twats with their heads up their asses.
