Olympia’s kid revolutionaries had strict rules, however – many of them dictated by bossy feminists like Tobi Vail, the “over-bored and self-assured” Riot Grrl rocker who helped enlighten Cobain’s mind and toyed with and broke his heart, resulting in the angsty tunes of Nevermind. It also has kind of a, like a teen revolutionary theme to it, too.” Reflecting on his four years in Olympia’s cozy little zoo of the artistically inclined and willfully developmentally arrested, Cobain said, “We still feel as if we’re teenagers because we don’t follow the guidelines of what’s expected of us to be adults.
“Teen spirit – it’s basically just about … friends,” Cobain explained in an unpublished interview with critic Patrick Macdonald by phone from his mom’s Aberdeen home in October 1991. Kurt was somewhere in the midst of these collections, soft and quiet and blue-eyed, small and animal-like.” Artist Nikki McClure, who lived next door to his ghastly apartment, recalls walking over in her pajamas to bring him waffles: “There were things stacked to the ceiling: books, rabbit cages on the fridge, clothes. “I use bits and pieces of others’ personalities to form my own,” he wrote. “An innately sensitive person, Kurt felt at home with a scene that really embraced sensitivity as opposed to machismo - his feminist and gay rights philosophy were definitely rooted in the Olympia community,” says Experiencing Nirvana author Bruce Pavitt, who founded his Subterranean Pop empire in Olympia and later, with partner Jonathan Poneman, created Sub Pop Records, Nirvana’s first label.īut before Nirvana came pounding on Sub Pop’s Seattle door for a contract in 1989, Cobain spent years perfecting his art, getting educated by Olympia’s eccentric DIY scenesters.
