Why XXXtentacion Is This Generation's Kurt Cobain

[TheBoyDuddus]

They both have taken two genres of music and have combined them to later become the frontman of a new genre. X combined Rock with Rap/Hip Hop while Kurt combined Emo with Alternative and Rock to lead a a new genre of grunge music. Like Kurt, X is starting to influence many artists to join his style of music



OP you don't know shyt about music or it's history.

Just bow out and log off.

I'm pretty sure I know more about music than you. I had incesticide on cassette.

You never heard of The Melvins, Black Flag, or Half Japanese.

don't test breh.

As someone that's according to coli standards I'll say that this thread is at the very least misguided. Do you even understand how impactful you have to be to yank the spotlight away from huge bands like Guns and Roses, Motley Crew and Def Leopard in a time were the internet didn't exist for the general public?

Exactly. Like I said earlier he changed the cultural zeitgeist. Made white kids wanna stop using hair products and rock flannels.

The equivalent would be yanking the spotlight away from drake, Kendrick, and Kanye and making them irrelevant.

Don't care. You obviously lack the history of it all.


"Mixing emo with alternative and rock"

Besides his drug addictions when was Kurt ever seen as a bad influence?

Dude supported women's rights, hated homophobes and racists.


Grunge is interesting the big "grunge" bands were so sonically different.

Nirvana- More punk influence
Pearl Jam- More rock orientated
Alice in Chains- Heavy metal

 

[Jefferson Jackson]

You nikkas really tryna force this legacy shyt for this kid

this.

I almost threw up when I heard the 'Pac comparison, especially given how he shyt on him when he was alive.

sad to see a young brother die, especially in the manner he was killed, but nikkas need to chill.

You forgot the band with the greatest rock lead vocalist of all time

Soundgarden

Anyone who doesn't get how big XXXtentacion was and the impact he made (before he died) is old and outta touch

You do realise this had been done numerous times and he's far from the frontman

 

[mr.africa]

you guys clearly have no idea how big kurt cobain was to this cacs worldwide while he was alive.
i remember going to a white party around 91 and smells like teen spirit came on
yo, the amount of hair that was bouncing up and down as the song played....
i was a little scared cause i for real thought that i might just have unintentionally attended a cult party or something.
shyt was trippy.

 

[Edub]

Kurt Cobain was an international star when he died.

The majority of people had no idea who XXXtentacion was before he died.

I'm not a Cobain nor Nirvana fan, but this comparison falls short. I see what you were trying to do, but......nah.

Exactly.....cobain was rock icon level....xxx didn’t get to that point

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

The funniest shyt is Kurt didn't really give a shyt about the lyrics to most of his songs..he wanted to make catchy songs.

He wrote smells like teen spirit on the way to the studio..dave grohl talks about it.

Then you have journalists trying to find hidden meanings in the song..no wonder Kurt got tired of the song.

Entered this thread with one mission.... How do I neg?

1. He was misunderstood by the media constantly as a person who was a bad influence among teens, like Kurt Cobain with his grunge music back in the 90's.
   
   
2. He was a different lyricist. Like Kurt, X writes about some very emotional stuff unlike his rapper counterparts, but also knows how to write things that lift people's spirits and gets them turnt up. Kind of like Kurt Cobain writing style that was the opposite of his Rock/Alternative/Grudge counterparts. This is giving music to two different kinds of demographics. (X with "I Don't Wanna Do This Anymore" and "Look At Me!" and Kurt with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Heart-Shaped Box")
   
   
3. Both had a very depressing past. With family and relationships. (X with being sent to jail under domestic abuse for hurting his girlfriend and Kurt with his stressful relationship with Courtney Love)
   
   
4. They both have taken two genres of music and have combined them to later become the frontman of a new genre.
   
5. Although both have so much money, power, and fame, there are deep thoughts that are racking and eating their brain alive that lead them to a deep depression and suicidal thoughts because the pressure from the media, relationships, family, and always trying to impress people with their music.
