Don't know if you can take that with a pinch of salt. As a writer you sometimes pick words and terms just to produce a rhyme or to make it sound good. Might not be so, but that as a note.
I think you're right. He's really odd about lyrics though. Sometimes he'll switch them around and substitute new words that rhyme with the ones that were there before. In Italy, instead of A Denial! at the end of Teen Spirit, he sung A Gelato! over and over. He sung Diarhea instead of Memorabilia in Come As You Are pretty often. Some of it was that I bet he pretty much only played music since he was like 15 or maybe even earlier. Like, I bet that guy had no interests except music and heroine! In a way, it was super selfish, but he was really enthusiastic about other bands and his idea of friendship was only with other musicians, but it was really genuine. I saw a You Tube video where he stepped in and sang some songs for Tad because the singer for that band had passed out. He didn't really have an ego about music. Maybe he was egotistical about which bands he thought were good, but he thought a lot of bands had songs he liked

I only know what biopics indicate about him. His basic development was twisted since the early days. Music can be a compensation for that. So to say, a way to deal with it. Also it gives you a task. Lots of broken characters wouldn't be able to survive the regular job market because they're too sensitive, they just even barely survive society. With arts they find a task at least which they feel they can fulfill, without the great exertion that other activities would demand of them. So to say, they won't be able to do anything else, but, depending on how their life turns out, there won't be the nessecity to learn to do something else.
I've thought about writing a novel where someone goes back in time to try to save the future by saving Kurt Cobain, with all the knowledge I have of it and I know where to get more and it is so easily accessible, and they'd fail and he'd kill himself anyway condemning the world to what it is now.
I think a big reason he killed himself is that he was counting on the love from other bands to sustain him, that was why he was in it until then and he had given it back to others in the scene too in a real genuine way, but they all turned on him when he became really famous calling him a sell out and that was part of the ethic of being in indie rock bands. So, he pretty much agreed.
I think I meant that he was only into one thing and doing one thing as well as he could. He was all substance and didn't care at all how it looked. He didn't care at all about image and everything after him became more and more about image to the point where now everyone is a salesman and their looks are their commodity and nearly no one cares much about anything of substance just how it looks to others.
