Kurt Cobain - Simple English Wikipedia

# Kurt Cobain

### From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967 - April 5, 1994) was the lead singer and guitarist of the grunge band Nirvana, which also included bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl.

Cobain was highly influential in popularizing what came to be termed grunge music - a style that evolved in part as a reaction against what people saw as the shallow nature of 1980s stadium rock and over-the-top metal bands (Hair Metal) with preened images and elaborate stage shows. His best known song is "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which was often referred to by the media as an anthem for Generation X. Among other well known Cobain songs are "Lithium", "In Bloom", "Come As You Are", "Heart Shaped Box", "All Apologies", and the highly controversial "Rape Me".
