Incredibly talented as his discography and variety can attest. Dude was as good at spastic art punk as he was at shameless pop

>Dude was as good at spastic art punk as he was at shameless pop
sums it/him up nicely

You don't get an opinion if you aren't old enough to remember

viper yourself

pretty good songwriter tbqh

Billy corgan was better

kurt kobain and nirvana made college rock / noise rock / post-hardcore popular, nirvana is sort of the middle point between fugazi, the jesus lizard, and pixies

He made some great stuff toward the end of his life
He would've made a god tier acoustic album

Friendly reminder he was murdered

>>61922620
Is it still shameless pop if it was also deliberately satirical?

>>61922620
why do /mu/ hates pop tho

>>61922985
pop is cheesy, tasteless... talentless...

something for the low-thinkers to shake their lumps of meat around. in my opinion.

i aint talking old school pop, mainstream stuff right now is pretty bad, anyone with decent sense of taste can agree.

and thats why I hate it.

>>61922985
because most of /mu/ is insecure posers in it for the image and perceived superiority over others

>>61922980
musically shameless pop, lyrically witty, raising the overall standard a bit

>>61923049
the stuff on the radio is pretty bad mostly because not alot of artists have sounds that can please the masses without brain dead sounds but it seems that as soon as an artist/band has ''pop'' in their genre, /mu/ is quick to call it shit.

>>61923426
I personally dislike pop because, it doesn't project any emotion other than...happy? dumb? it just grinds my fucking ears in. i dunno tho, i guess this stuff is very subjective. everybody's got their preferences and opinions i guess

Yeah probably the first one desu senpai.

>kurt is good meme
when will it stop

He was a whiny drug addict that wrote a couple of decent riffs.
