Frances Bean And Kurt Cobain – Age 24
Kurt Cobain left a bigger mark on the music industry than many artists with careers far longer than his. Nirvana was instrumental in revolutionizing the rock genre. Tragically, Kurt Cobain joined the 27 Club in Seattle in 1994, only two years after his daughter Frances Bean Cobain was born. Frances is a visual artist and model living in Las Angeles. She also controls the rights to her father’s name and image.
Pioneering a Genre
While Kurt Cobain and Nirvana may not have created alternative music, they certainly revolutionized it. They were vital to transforming it from an offshoot of rock and roll into its own true sub-genre. The alternative genre is still a form of rock, but it is distinct from the rock and roll of yesteryear and the original alternative bands.
