In North Korea, this forum wouldn't be banned, it would be revered and taught in schools as a palatable and preferable version of Western history. And in many ways, that's all the truth the children of North Korea need

People are still doing the stuff KISS started 40 years ago.

Such an example!Yeah, this is just my experience here, but I've never heard anyone gush about Nirvana's cultural impact who didn't have a bong in one hand and a crack pipe in the other.I think we should most definitely commermorate his life and cultural influence on youth.Maybe we could name a needle exchange program after him.

I think the hopeless fangirling about Nirvana is just a troll, guys.
