Bolded probably true. Not bolded part is some
star would add on for attention.
Nobody'll ever know why he killed himself, but it was probably a mixture of drug addiction, undiagnosed mental illness, a shytty childhood, marrying a crazy courtney love, and the fact that all the music he loved growing up had been co-opted by the commercial music industry.
His suicide note was all about regret over becoming some social pariah, or gen-x spokesman, so if anything, knowing that rock was about to die would be a giant relief to him, because he hated everything about the "rock" scene.
The craziest shyt that nobody talks about is how Pac, Biggie, and Cobain (three biggest musical icons of the 90s) all died in that decade. They should've been the leading figures in music for the next decade or so, instead there was a giant vacuum that got filled up by babypop boy/girl groups - and so music overall the last 20 or so years has become more childish and less mature, exacerbating the death of genuine artistry and leaving us with a buncha rainbow dreadlocked, cookie cutter, creatively bankrupted so-called "musicians".
