Cover art for Freak lyrics by Silverchair

It's all about being a Freak. No offence to grungers (I am one), but thats what grunge is all about. Kurt Cobain didn't want to be popular and this destroyed him ultimately

Grunge is what was made up by the media and Poneman of Sub Pop said it as a joke. From all the grunge bands no one called their music grunge. Kurt labeled his music punkrock and some songs new wave. And that Kurt didnt want to popular is also not true. He said once that he wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.
