Kurt Donald Cobain an American musician who served as lead singer, guitarist, songwriter and front man for the grunge band Nirvana. Cobain with Nirvana entered into the mainstream, bringing along with them a subgenre of alternative rock called grunge. As Nirvana's front man, Cobain found himself referred to in the media as the "spokesman of a generation", with Nirvana serving as the "flagship band" of "Generation X". (Kurt Cobain)
I chose these 3 icons because I have fond memories of each one growing up. Each one played small part in raising me and helped me become who I am today. I’ll always remember Jennifer Lopez on that comedy show In Living Color, you know the one with Jim Carey. I recall watching her in movies after that and I just couldn’t believe that was one of the “fly girls”. I reached my Curt Cobain phase when I was in 8th grade. I’m from the Seattle area so this guy was huge where I lived. In Utero was my first tape I ever owned. I’d mow the lawn thinking how cool I was listening to my grunge rock sporting my plaid shirt and ripped jeans. David was my final phase. I reached this one when I was in 10th grade. I was doing that whole “rebellious” thing that every teenager does. I thought I had discovered some kind of rock God and one knew about him but me, little did I know this guy was huge! His Glam Rock life was the model for the movie Velvet Underground, he’s acted in movies, including acting with Jennifer Connelly in the movie the Labyrinth, which I love dearly.
