“Come as you are” is what Kurt Cobain crooned, and the youth have been embracing the spirit ever since. A pioneer of the ‘Grunge’ movement in the Pacific Northwest, his collection of oversized vintage cardigans, graphic T’s, ripped jeans, and Chuck Taylor’s would revolutionize fashion, music, and pop culture forever.

Ironically, the last thing Cobain had on his mind was becoming a trendsetter, since the grunge movement really began as retaliation against the main stream in support of uniqueness and defying convention. In the world of rock ‘n’ roll today, Grunge is the convention. Today Hipsters everywhere sport torn jeans, t-shirts, flannel, and nerd glasses in an attempt to solidify their cool.

He may not have had the life he imagined, but in making the outcast king, he gave new life to the millions of youth his music would influence.
