One of my favorite joys of teaching is how an entire new generation of kids love Nirvana as much as i did and they don't have any reason other than liking the band because unlike us they weren't even alive when Nirvana were everywhere.. it literally makes my day to hear kids all surprised when they see me at work in a Nirvana shirt on fridays or playing Nirvana in class and their mind is blown like, "You like Nirvana??" It makes their day too! I think this woulf make Kurt happy, that his legacy for kids younger than even his own daughter are enjkoying his music and helping enjoy their lives. Nirvana IS music for teenagers and i like that it carries over

Kurt was gone too soon.

I have a friend who teaches high school art in a predominantly Hispanic area and every Friday he brings in music.

the kids sometimes make fun of his music, and sometimes dig it, usually preferring danceable stuff. (kids today like to dance)

One day he put on Butthole Surfers and he said 4/5 of the class was dumbfounded and did not understand what they were listening to, and 1/5 of them were like "what is this? wow. This is weird!"

today's kids are fed their weirdness by massive pop stars. they understand TRUE weirdness when they experience it, which is rarely. I think that is why kids still dig Nirvana
