Kurt Cobain, namely he has the greatest contribution to the development of music, which he did in the 90s. His personality is still causing a lot of arguments, but anyway, we must respect his contribution.

Vocalist of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain (full name Kurt Donald Cobain), was born February 20, 1967 in the family housewife Wendy Elizabeth (nee Fradenburg) and mechanic Donald Leland Cobain. In the pedigree Cobain attended to the Irish, English, Scottish and German roots. April 24, at 1970 appeared younger sister Kimberly.

Family, in which he was born, was not a little, it took care of in the early stages 8 uncle and aunts. We Can not help saying that he grew up spoiled, his family never was great financial wealth, furthermore, to buy them own home, they spent many years to necessary sum.

In his childhood, the young Cobain drew a lot, but in spite of his drop- down talents, he was very shy. However, even at a young age, he did not consider himself a talented or gifted and terribly hated being praised or put on display as an example to other children.

He became interested in music, thanks to the family circle. His uncle and aunt, while the time of took him to rehearsals. A little later, on one of the holidays, he was given a a plate The Monkees and The Beatles. Thus began his acquaintance with rock, which later spilled over into the meaning of life. At age seven, Kurt was able to play simple songs on the guitar.

In 1975, Kurt's parents divorced. This finally broken a child who was going to contact with strangers, not very willingly

For a long time, he could not decide which parent he should stay. At first he tried to live with his mother, but because of her new mate, he moved to his father, but there could not get used to his new wife. As a result, he went to live with many of his relatives (the same family of aunts and uncles).

At the age of 13 he started to take drugs, it was the first time he tried to smoke cannabis. Later on he started his LCD and other hallucinogen expirements, he also expereminted with different inhaled substances.

At age 14, Kurt gave up drumming and began learning to play the guitar, given to him by his uncle Chuck, Warren Mason, musician of The Beachcombers, was his first teacher. Nearly at the same time Curt appeared to be interested in punk after reading an article about the Creep band in "creem" magazine.

In 1984, 6 months before graduating from high school, he decides not to learn. Mother did not approve of his decision and after an argument, kicked him out of the house. In this period of life, he lived in various places, from friends, ending a flophouse. However, such a situation in a certain sense, he liked, he considered himself a true punk rocker.

Kurt already got the idea to create a punk band. Soon he met with members of Aberdeen team Melvins.Their music combines punk and hard rock (then this style was named “grunge”). There also came and Krist Novoselic, whereupon they became friends

One cassette got Krist Novoselic. A few months later, he suddenly started to talk about Cobain that he would cost to organize a rock band. The newly-formed team changed some names, but eventually was chosen «Nirvana». In 1988, the group released their first single - «Love Buzz / Big Cheese», and the following year went on sale debut album Nirvana - Bleach.

In 1991 was released the second album Nirvana - Nevermind, the group became an unexpected breakthrough into the mainstream. Single «Smells Like Teen Spirit», to everyone's surprise, became a hit on MTV. Nirvana sudden success on the international stage has drawn public attention to the Seattle grunge scene and spawned a wave of imitators. Media called Nirvana «flagship Generation X", and the most Cobain - "voice of a generation."

Cobain had suddenly fallen down from head discomfort popularity: he saw himself first and foremost representative of the independent rock scene, and annoyed that he became the idol of the masses.

Some health problems haunted musician from an early age. All his life he suffered from chronic bronchitis and stomach pain of unclear origin in childhood, he was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and he had to to take Ritalin; later he was diagnosed with manic depression.

Kurt Cobain's death in 1994, when «Nirvana» ​​ was at the peak of its popularity, shocked the public. Even today, debate over this tragic event did not cease: whether it was suicide, "the right moment" to remain permanently at the peak of fame, or someone special "ordered" leader «Nirvana». Perhaps we never will not know what is actually was the cause of death of Kurt Cobain.

By the way: Kurt Cobain is the champion among the musicians who have earned more after death than in life. As of 2011 holders of his work have earned over $ 800 million "Suicide" Kurt entailed a wave of suicide his fans.

His role in the development of creativity of many modern rock bands can not be underestimated. I think it was one of the greatest rock musicians of the 20th century. His song is something new in the music world, a new breath of fresh air for the generation and later, and for ours. Curt Cobain is an integral part modern youth (and not only) cultures.
