half of these are invalid. VMA awards and YouTube views are entirely controlled by normal people, not the artists themselves, Glee HAS sang Justin Bieber songs, I don't see how that quote makes Bieber misunderstood by society, the lyrics are completely different seeing as how Teen Spirit said 'over-bored' and Bieber's song said 'overboard' (Teen Spirit isn't even about being over-bored or anything, it's about a deodorant), and the yawning thing was a worthless excuse to make a list of 10 reasons.

goddamn, people are fucking retarded. This is clearly in humour..grow the fuck up people, Kurt is not some holy god, he was a fucked up drug addled musician who made cool music. Most of us that were born in the 80's have a deep love of Nirvana's music, but seriously, taking this shit to heart actually makes you all look like bigger fools than the person who did this comparison..as a joke I might add.

it's satire, it's pretty clear because of how forced the connections are, dipshits

THIS IS CLEARLY A JOKE.

OH GOD DAMN YOU! This is such an unnecessary comparison! NO ONE IN THE WORLD CAN BE LIKE KURT COBAIN! He is so special that no one even can make a comparison of Cobain with someone else like Justin Bieber. Oh gosh. Your explanations made me laugh so hard. Now little sweet girl, go and listen Justin and stay away from Kurt Cobain!

You are officially retarded for that overboard thing. Please do not breed.

the only thing I can hope for is that they end up with a similar demise.

Chinga a tu puta madre, pinche articulo tan mas pendejo!!! hasta mis webos se parecen entonces a kurt cobain

Gosh, I don't know if should we cry or laugh from this idiocy!
Like, PLZ! tell me you're not for real! I mean, you ARE saying this sh*t in a cynical manner, right?

one more similarity thats not yet true but im hoping for it: they both died young

its hilarious how many people get fired up about this. its funny!

Holy gods of rock…..how can you say such a thing????
Is the yawning the most decent similarity you came up to? Let me see…..OH YEAH! they both have two eyes, you idiot.
But whatever….lots of people are disaproving this because of the obvious TRUE facts like the dificulties they have in their lives (justifying Kurt's many lyrics and his personality VS. the sheet that justin has to follow when he's with his fans), and -of course- the genre of music they have…..like many years as a complete artist (Kurt ¬¬) VS. maybe a couple of years, and for many just months ago.
Finally, justin seeks popularity and girls and the stuff he doesn't dislike (what he likes, translated in bieber-english), and Cobain never was THAT close to being a famous guy and have a lot of girls.

It's a comparison between Kurt Cobain, who influenced the 90s to be how it was, to Justin Bieber, a flaming faggot, who has 4 songs which aren't even written by him. He has no fucking talent either, all he can do is scream and whine like a floppy fuck in his tight white jeans which show his uterus. Justin Bieber most likely doesn't know shit about Kurt Cobain, while saying he's the “next of our generation”. Is that really implying Bieber's a heroin addict who's had as many problems as Kurt? It's the people like you, OP, who I want to burn on a crucifix. You.

Maybe Cobain reincarnated into Bieber because he was tired of grunge…or Courtney Love.

Personally, I think Kurt Cobain would've had a better sense of humor about this than a lot of the posters here.

I feel that people must realize that this isn't supposed to be a real association, but rather is supposed to look forced.

just wrong….

FUCK YOU TANNER RIDGERUD

FUCK YOU, SOMEONE LEND THIS PISSHEAD A GRENADE!
