Why do these SoundCloud retards keep comparing themselves to Kurt Cobain?

Percs are for literally every strata of american society. Heroin is for people who run out of cash for percs

Ewww.

>Actually fell for the “Kurt was a tortured artist” meme

Because he is the most recent A-list rockstar (that isn't some neutered coldplay imagine dragons shit) so they name drop him to say they're like rockstars

This. It's why there's an opioid epidemic in the first place.

American healthcare is a racket.

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Cobain crazy, feeling wavy
Smoke with demons make me wavy
Never wake up, world we hating
Never wake up, world we hating
Smokin' propane with the demons
Purp in cup, that's a liter
Going crazy, life's wavy
Open cut with new Mercedes
Favorite shit is isolating
Favorite sip is isolating
Favorite shit is isolating
Favorite shit is isolating
Favorite shit is isolating
Favorite shit is isolating
There is no way to escape
Hating your mate, putting a gun to your face

So they're trying to coat-tail off his image?

Well also the fact there’s a whole legend behind him.

This.

cause kurt cobain is the most iconic representation of a self-musican?
like all of you already knew this obvious ass answer you niggas just wanna circlejerk about how out of touch you choose to be

aaaah FUCK
*self-destructive musician

Yeah Kurt’s whole image was a meme.

He an hero’d due to his addiction which started due to stomach pains.

The idea he was ”deeply troubled and self destructive” is a myth.

Doesn't matter the truth, we're talking about the myth and legend

Witness, for instance, the establishment of settled 'alternative' or 'independent' cultural zones, which endlessly repeat older gestures of rebellion and contestation as if for the first time. 'Alternative' and 'independent' don't designate something outside mainstream culture; rather, they are styles, in fact the dominant styles, within the mainstream. No-one embodied (and struggled with) this deadlock more than Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. In his dreadful lassitude and objectless rage, Cobain seemed to give wearied voice to the despondency of the generation that had come after history, whose every move was anticipated, tracked, bought and sold before it had even happened. Cobain knew that he was just another piece of spectacle, that nothing runs better on MTV than a protest against MTV; knew that his every move was a cliche scripted in advance, knew that even realizing it is a cliche. The impasse that paralyzed Cobain is precisely the one that Jameson described: like postmodern culture in general, Cobain found himself in 'a world in which stylistic innovation is no longer possible, where all that is left is to imitate dead styles, to speak through the masks and with the voices of the styles in the imaginary museum'. Here, even success meant failure, since to succeed would only mean that you were the new meat on which the system could feed. But the high existential angst of Nirvana and Cobain belongs to an older moment; what succeeded them was a pastiche-rock which reproduced the forms of the past without anxiety.

He looks like he fucks teenage white girls.

He was the last of the 20th Century style of Rockstars. The last of what we actually think of when we think of that term. I'm not even a fan, but I recognize he was the End

Based critical theorist.

Basically
Although maybe Liam Gallagher, but Oasis stopped being huge outside the UK after only like a year

you look like you're being raped by the devil

Billie is quite literally this.

That's an interesting point about how the establishment always commodifies counter cultural/alternative movements and incorporates them into the popular culture/market system. Any genuine reaction against the entrenched system that gains grassroots traction eventually gets absorded into it and it's essence watered down into easily marketable tropes rather than genuine expression or innovation.

No, she's using it as a marketing gimmick

Yes there’s NOTHING sexual about a black man in his mid 20s who was socialized in a literal rape culture befriending a teenage white girl.

1.
>calling Kurt intelligent
>praising him for failing a suicide attempt
2.
>praising suicide???
3.
>praising kokaine addicition?

I get that x and denzel don't make much sense to be compared to kurt. And you have the right to think that x/denzel/anyone you like is disingenious. But right now you are being cringetards and seem to have just stepped out of a rage comic

Also someone post the coffee gif. You know Billie has also drunk a few cups of curry sauce.

Not even close. Industry plant.

They all gon die lol

Kurt was a shitty musician that became famous because angsty teens relate to him and he was attractive for the fan girls, the music is the simplest shit

>St Vincent

NOOOOOOOO Annie!!!!

Nice conjecture.

I think in Curry’s case he was trying to use Kurt’s image as a metaphor for how much pressure the industry placed on its artists who then end up self-destructing.

get fukt idiot

His lyrics were much better than “xans and lean xans and lean aye aye aye”.

If Denzel is Kurt, Billie is Courtney if you catch my drift.

remember that time you were flayed?

>metaphor
Holy shit can he be more pretentious?

Lol most SoundCloud rap doesn’t even sound like this.

Imagine Billie Eilish being the Denzel's Courtney

It’s already happening.

She will destroy him (God forbid). I can tell. He needs to find someone better.

>I don't understand. X was a deeply troubled soul whose suicide and self-destructive behavior was the result of years of depression and physical ailment. He loathed fame because his depression made him insular and distraught. He also clearly had aspergers and was highly intelligent; his lyrics reflect real feelings of depression and anger at the world around him.

>Meanwhile all these grunge "mucisians" are literal oafs. 95% of them rely on media antics rather than music to gain instant popularity. Their lyrics are always fake deep, pseudo intellectual ("he likes to shoot his gun but he don't know what it means") and otherwise nonsensical. Oh hell most of them can't even speak proper English much less enunciate their words. Plus there's no way heroin and acid are anywhere close to the stress of living in the hood in terms of detrament or how it kills you meaning all these clowns are a bunch of pussies.

based

Except X was a sociopath who threatened to rape his gf with a bbq fork:

Kurt was the blueprint for the modern idea of the rockstar as a troubled soul who is constantly on the verge of suicide, but who is only cooler for that fact. It's not surprising then that he's become a shortcut to signal to people how fucking crazy and rocknroll you are.

Source?

>using good literary technique makes one a "pretentious faggot" now

What are you on about? There is no connection between the two... is there?

I am almost 100% certain Billie is using and abusing Denzel for the sake of credibility. No one in hip hop gave a shit about her until she started palling around with Denzel and also X, whom she made a huge deal about being his "special friend". Keep in mind, Denzel is also white-knighting her, so it could also be she's using him as a proverbial shield.

Billie is a literal clout demon.

i hope you know you're literally describing the theme of denzel's song. hence the clown outfit.

She's 17 not 7. Legal in most of America or Europe. What's the big deal ?

I didn't realize they knew each other. Makes me mad somehow since I actually like Curry.

She had an uncredited feature on one of the best songs on Ta13oo too. Granted, you can't really hear her due to her mediocre vocal abilities.
youtube.com/watch?v=8TCrqTL5STg

He's also going on tour with her as her opening act.

>accusing someone who was molested as a child of molesting a child
Don't.

This DESU.

She's the backing vocal to the chorus I take it?

Kurt was a fag

Yes.

He was bi.

Kurt was also fake deep.

Bit that’s usually how it happens.

It's still fucked to make assertions without evidence.

This
I wouldn't be shocked if Billie's fucked a rapper but I honestly don't think Denzel's doing it, there's no reason to believe that

It was a fool move. He was doing so good too.

Looks like my favorite guy is Future now.

I thought Rome was his only attempt?

I interpreted it as the industry and social media compelling SoundCloud rappers to behave like dumbasses and subsequently drive themselves into the ground for the sake of publicity and selling records.

Why are niggers obsessed with anime?

DONT. YOU. DARE!!!!!!!!

I've noticed that too. Soundclowns are always using anime imagery, comparing themselves to DBZ characters, etc.

Afro Samurai

Lots of naruto and monogatari lmao. Good taste bois

Kanye did it years ago
youtube.com/watch?v=PsO6ZnUZI0g

Anime hair too.

lmao dbz character are literally based off the aryan race

Isn't DBZ based off of Japanese religion?

It makes me sad thinking Billie and her career will metaphorically fuck him when he's such a great artist, and a much better lyricist than she could dream of being.

Probably because the intended demographic for these artists are a bunch of kids with older siblings who listened to Nirvana. A lot of kids look up to their older siblings and get a lot of their taste in music from them. It's just marketing basically. Compare yourself to artists the "cool older brother" would have listened to so you can snatch up the younger sibling sales.

Eh, zoomers are anyone born after 1996 I believe.

Yeah. Check mah shit.

This is way too cartoonish. They admire Kurt because they relate to his general despair - "I'm just like Kurt Cobain, he said 'fuck it' and I want to say 'fuck it' as well because fuck this shitty world". It's pretty difficult to be happy in capitalism today. I mean, there's a reason why it's a trend to be depressed and emotional.

Denzel talked about that. He said that in the way that Wu-Tang sampled and referenced old Eastern films because many in the community had watched them growing up, they use anime since it's the closest equivalent for his generation.

but kanye has good taste and likes ghibli and akira

Unpopular opinion:

I think Courtney and Hole were musically superior to Kurt and Nirvana.

There's no reason to assume that. There is no indication that is anything serious there or that he would make detrimental career decisions based on her.

Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative? by Mark Fisher

He makes loud, chaotic "trap" music. She makes ASMR Lorde-ripoff pop. Musically the two are like day and night, fire and ice, lemon juice and milk.

What's your point?

I'm agreeing with you.

Ah, sorry.

Kurt was pretty upbeat and social in his personal life. He didn't talk about anything negative in interviews if I remember correctly. In no way was he this dark, angsty, "imma kill myself" straight-out-of-modernist-literature guy everyone "remembers" him as being.

Speaking of which, does anyone have that interview of Denzel's where he talks about Kurt? I forget the title.

youtube.com/watch?v=QX6MQvDwZ6k

This one?

Yes, that's it.

When has Lil Pump ever compared himself to Kurt?

It's more the "sadbois" like X, Denzel, etc.

I think Denzel is probably the happiest of all them, at least publically. He claims not to even drink or use drugs.

He's a recovering alcoholic/addict IIRC.

X is kinda similar to Kurt desu

Alcoholic maybe. I think he said he just used to smoke pot though.

Lil peep died age 21
X died age 20

Both were suicidal. Lil peep first song sampled giles corey. X was in jail most of his life and use to slash his wrists. Plus made a lot of acoustic music and loved nirvana.

its not a far off comparison ... and talking about lyrics whilst mentioning cobain is stupid, he wrote like a 6 year old.

He said in his Breakfast Club interview he used to be a heavy drinker but quit.

Nirvana to me will always sound like discount Pixies.

>implying Denzel is a soundcloud rapper let alone a drug addict

Lol, he doesn’t even drink or do drugs but okay!

>Oh hell most of them can't even speak proper English
His English skills seem fine to me.

Wrote like a 6 year old? Are you actually mentally retarded?

To everyone wondering: have some SC rappers in their natural habitat.
youtube.com/watch?v=qoMkgbGDXxQ

Kurt couldn't enunciate very well either.

ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/25_times_rappers_mentioned_kurt_cobain_in_their_lyrics.html

It's known that he wrote like a 6 year old. He had no talent in writing at all. His lyrics were often nonsensical. He even said he found it difficult to write lyrics.

You don't know much about this topic so stay out , your opinion is not needed.

Kurt:
>mediocre musician
>wrote shitty lyrics
>couldn't articular his words whilst singing]
>fake personality

Why is he considered a "legend" again?

Denzel curry is amazing

t. commies

>>wrote shitty lyrics
>>couldn't articular his words whilst singing]
>>fake personality
So, just like Soundcloud rap then eh?

If you're not commie in 2019 you haven't read enough.

>He also clearly had aspergers
Sauce?

>and was highly intelligent;
Nah.

Did Kurt ever reference his drug use in his lyrics?

>load up on drugs
>bring yr friends

I meant HIS drug use, not drugs generally.

>I got so high, I scratched till I bleed

You tell me, user.

Xannies are deadly. RIP Peep

Good

Fentanyl pressed xannies are.

Even "real" xannies fuck with your brain chemistry over time.

Mozart was 3 when he wrote lacrimosa

Mozart a bitch

he's an obvious shareholder

It wouldn't surprise me if he did have a lot of emotional shit going on though. Many people with depression tend to be more aware of how they look to others so they put on a happy face in public to avoid looking like a burden. The fact he talks about staying positive all the time could also indicate this, since people who know what hell it is to go through episodes will do whatever they can to overcome their condition.

Depression isn't what tumblr claims it is.

Grohl says this same shit about any flavor of the month that comes along. He said this exact same shit about Deadmaus/dubstep 10 years ago.

probably tylo be chillin

How dare you, take that back NOW!

Nah he a bich

t. bitch zoomer

Hmm food for thought

based mark fisher

No he's NOT, TAKE IT BACK I'M SERIOUS!

Not to mention a lot of his lyrics seem consistent with depression: feeling anxious and paranoid all the time, feeling like you're the scum of the earth and highly inadequate, thinking everyone secretly hates you and is just trying to take advantage of you, etc.

I remember only giving a 6/10 to ta13oo. I think I'm gonna have to listen to it again

Nah? So how do you like your men then?

thicc

yeah wow bro the legend who made like that one good song in the 90s

I hate you.

They’re confused, shallow, bad taste, and stupid. It’s to do with the music, they think nirvana and kurt are the coolest music and musician ever and think everyone else thinks that too, they think that nirvana is the ‘realest’ Music that ever was and kurt the ‘realest’ musician. deep down they don’t think there is/ they can’t find the equivalent in rap/hip hop/ feel the need to look for one because they are truly unsure about the artistic merit of their own genre. It’s kinda like ‘virtue signalling’ or whatever. Their fucking PLEBS basically
I could probably put it more succinctly if I thought about it for longer but I thinks that’s the basis of it. All over hip hop you’ll find references to nirvana, they can’t see past the media of it all. Plebs, really

Denzel Curry didn't gain popularity from social media. He gained popularity because he made a sound that was unique for his time in the underground (Memphis-infused Trap music with some trillwave influences with a Lord Infamous flow) and he had a cool personality in his song. He also referenced anime and shit a lot so white people who browse Yea Forums identified with him when listening to his music.

Also, Denzel can easily speak proper English. He is not really an example of "SoundClown"

where do I find his acoustic music?

okay this is epic

this is atrocious jesus

Kurt Kobain was Kool

>kurt cobain
>highly intelligent

>It's pretty difficult to be happy in capitalism today.
cringe

You guys need to remember that there are successful, signed artists that are making music right now...that are total plebs. Just remember that

The logical conclusion of soundcloud rap

exactly wtf. theyre taking his point and trying to use him as an example lmao

think about it logically
