because ibram is young enough that he never actually experienced what nirvana/cobain brought to the music world. he has only experienced the post-nirvana world where we have kids who weren't even born yet walking around wearing nirvana shirts and pretending they have a clue about what cobain was trying to say.
honestly i hated the whole grunge thing - but i saw nirvana in a lttle bitty club playing to a couple dozen of us while promoting their cheapo album Bleach. they were absolutely different than anything else being done at the time. I loved them right up until i saw a cheerleader at my school wearing a "smells like teen spirit" t shirt. i knew then it was over.
while i'm not a huge nirvana fan i don't think you can blame all the idiots on cobain.
one of my employees a few years back went to school with him (verifiable) and said he was a really nice, shy kid.
