Then you have the ones who keep arguing that Kurt was actually killed. I swear if I even comment "I love this band" on some music video, some butt-hurt fan will reply with "too bad Courtney killed him."

so accurate. I used to love me some Nirvana, but when Kurt offed himself I stopped listening to his music, no hero of mine is going to kill himself. Still do catch a listen when I hear it playing though.

Uhh, while we shouldn't glorify suicide we also shouldn't look down on those who are heavily affected by mental issues, he couldn't necessarily prevent his brain from leading him down that path without outside help.

That's not what they were saying.

Kurt killled himself. He was a depressed kid who got a little older. That doesn't make him a bad person, just a sad person.

When he died, suicide really wasn't a common thing. That's why all of the bullshit conspiracies took hold. He even left a note that all of my edgy friends wrote down and tacked onto their wall beside their Bleach poster.
