@dementedpianist ah, cool, this comment made me downvote the one above yours (the exact opposite reading, essentially) and upvote this one, LOL. Not only because this is a compelling piece of info, but also because it somehow “feels” more correct ultimately—like there’s more nuance and complexity in the feeling behind it than “I, a young male in my 20s, am not ready to settle down and procreate, but I think this girl does.” Anyway, we’ll never know, but the added info here tracks for me (also in light of what else I/we know about Cobain and the rest of his...

Oh and to “HateSolice,” the other comment on here, stfu! Lol. If you’re not into women in the punk/alternative scene, just in general, saying they’re all stupid, you’re obviously not into the scene, period (or wanted there!), so why are you here? Weirdo. And it’s def not uncommon for women in such a scene, who are young with their own ambitions, and even ones who do not fit in either of the descriptors I just mentioned, to be uneasy about or opposed to marriage and reproduction which can and very often does put an end to whatever else she was planning to do with her life (lots of men feel this way too, albeit with less reason as they can’t get knocked up), and feel the institution is inherently sexist—which, historically, it 100% is, women were literally property until very recently and still are in many places, so that could cramp a punk chicks style, if you will, and with good reason. Don’t know why I bothered responding to that—I guess just in case anyone else reads it and it irks them, too. Shit like that just makes me think, makes me understand why Kurt hated mainstream fame—and GOD how he would hate some “so called” fans today as he was an outspoken and self-proclaimed feminist, all the way… done now
"In the four months following their break-up, Kurt would write a half dozen of his most memorable songs, all of them about Tobi Vail"
"Cobain desired the maternal comfort of a traditional relationship, which Vail regarded as sexist within a countercultural punk rock community."
I'd bet money this song is also about Tobi Vail.
Just goes to show how stupid women are when in those subcultures.
