To me, this song is most definitely about Courtney Love. "Prom dress and a sneer, the woman of the year but not quite" - Pretty much says it all to me. She was known for wearing dresses on stage (look up Kinderwhore). And she definitely had an attitude that resulted in some sneers. "Junkie-isms". She was definitely a drug addict, so that fits. I could go on, but if you don't see it from reading these lyrics, anything else I could say won't help you. And yes, some references to Kurt are present as well ("All the other kids are sad again" basically says that all the alternative rock kids are upset at his passing; "don't you love the leader of the band, equal parts Butthead and Peter Pan" references Courtney's marriage to Kurt, who was a goofball but also had charming boy-like qualities.
