Alternative rock is something that goes from pop but Cobain has said himself he made loads of pop songs like Teen spirit and the album of Nevermind AnrachyIsForCoolKids (talk) 08:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
What needs to be said about the matter is already addressed in the Kurt_Cobain#Sexuality section. There is no need to explicitly state "hetero" in the inbox, and I highly doubt ant biography in the Wikipedia has never done so. Zaathras (talk) 23:38, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The last sentence in the section “death” > aftermath:
Another photo shows Cobain's foot resting next to a bag of shotgun shells, one of which was used in his death.[99]
Please remove the words, “one of which was used in his death.”
Lol, "safe suicide messaging" ? We're never going to sanitize encyclopedic information for the sake of feelings. Zaathras (talk) 14:19, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
What's the copyright status of those images? We can't just use random photos we pulled off the internet. DonIago (talk) 14:20, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
is of indeterminable origin. It is used in a Facebook group called "Kurt Cobain Forever Alive In Our Hearts," and there's a similar pic likely from the same photo shoot on pinterest, where someone with long black hair is cropped out. Possibly Dave. Either way, likely copyrighted, not usable.
is credited so Frank Micelotta, Getty images. From the Unplugged session. Unusable. Zaathras (talk) 22:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
