What would Kurt Cobain have been doing during the Italian Renaissance if he were alive then? Would he have been a court musician employed at a castle? Did they have bands back then?

Well, he was an anti musical pleb of little actual musical skill, so he would have likely just been a salty commoner.
court jester
probably would have been a serf working the fields only to die in a war cause his owner didnt want to give up his land
That youtube comment. Popular music was invented in the early 1900's.
Before that most music was commissioned by rich people. Art in general was. This is why it was higher quality stuff like classical music rather than stupid shit niggers make.
Anyways. Its possible he would have just been some travelling musician, some sort of folk troubadour
No, most music wasn't. There was far more folk music, it just wasn't written down and venerated by pretentious racist autists hundreds of years later.
>muh racisms
Great art is inherently elitist. The vast majority of the population are drooling morons
probably wouldn't even have the same personality or interests
What drugs did they have then?
he would've invented the shotgun

Go back
Being burnt at the stake for being sinister.
He would have been a painter. Sistine Chapel would have looked wild. Fetuses and lilies everywhere.
What would Kurt be doing during the mid-late 60s (in his early 20s)?
Beatlemaniac
I don't think it's as simple as that. Great art is pioneered by the elite, but beautiful music is enjoyed by the masses, even if they don't really appreciate it, or the meaning behind it. Wagner is a household name, Liszt was a rockstar in his day.
This.
>cause his owner
Which would be the state because "property" is just a lease of land from the state.
See Velvet Underground.
>Liszt was a rockstar in his day
cringe
Fuck this stupid shit.
This is now a Helmet thread

Liszt inspired hysteria in his performances, like that which we're accustomed to since the advent of the rock star. Does that sentence make you happier?
This is a silly question. He wouldn't be the same Kurt because the Kurt we know and like was a product of his own time and society. He wouldn't be able to develop his personality and be able to come up with the skills and inspiration for his music if he didn't relieve his entire life exactly the way it was.
If we adapt his entire life to the Renaissance era though then maybe he would be some low class noble sorta like Beethoven and be employed by patrons as a musician. Perhaps he would be a drunkard instead of a drug addict since there wasn't any opium available back then in Europe afaik and he would kill himself by hanging.
Truth sometimes is cringe. Deal.
