The Courtney love interview is really bad, the last few chapters have dashed my hopes that fame and popularity can create true good in the world, because it seems like while nirvana blew open the door for independent music hitting it big, you also get Brazilian nirvana fans telling bitches to go home. You have Axl Rose. You have cash grabbing hacks like Hirschberg. Really made me sour on music journalism as a whole.

Brat is our Nevermind, by the way. Think about it. an album that becomes inescapably popular by word of mouth, so much so that labels do not know how to advertise it. Defining generational apathy in an intense political climate, implications of drug use as related to carelessness. Concise and simple lyricism that tackles big emotions. Cross-genre appeal. After it's release, major labels can't let go.
