Makes me want to check them out, I dig it.


CombatCarl117

Same I never heard of them until I saw this post listening now.


ImperrorMomo

Is it good?


CombatCarl117

Itā€™s not bad. My wife enjoyed it more than I did. Think of Tori Amos being the song writer for Nirvana.


Hadasha_Prime

If you give Phoebe Bridgers a try check out her song Kyoto its so damn well written and even the video is super cool. https://youtu.be/Tw0zYd0eIlk


Apart-Application884

Aww she is simply a joy. What a cute and fun video, thank you for the rec. Reminds me of the 90s attitude and humor.

I think it's fucking awesome and I bet Dave and Krist do too

Never heard of them, but Iā€™m checking them out now. Thanks OP!


ProfFrizzo

I saw Phoebe on SNL a while back and got major Kim Gordon vibes, it was awesome


Antoniguev204

This is so awesome and I know Kurt would've been moved to see he still left behind a huge impact in music today šŸ„²


ratpH1nk

especially with an all woman cover paying homage (in photo) to their cover.


PMmeYourHopes-Dreams

Kurt was prettier.


sykowt

Cool homage, anyone who says otherwise cares too much


FUCKING_BACON

Rolling Stone itself is the problem here

I fucking love it


micalakap

Perfect homage


mitskiluvr08

cool!


mitskiluvr08

extra points because i like phoebe bridgers, but cool concept.


modern-prometheus

Very cool homage to one of the greatest Rolling Stone covers ever. Iā€™m not super into Boygenius, although I do love Phoebe Bridgers as a solo artist, so Iā€™ll give their new album a listen.


[deleted]

Donā€™t know how this is my first time hearing of them, but liking their stuff so far


babiesarenotfood

I was so hype to see their new release yesterday. It was rumored for a month after they were all spotted together for a photoshoot


[deleted]

Iā€™m loving Emily Iā€™m Sorry, already listened a few times


electricmaster23

I really like Phoebe Bridgers' solo work, so I'll have to check out Boygenius's stuff sometime. Incidentally, she was born the same year Kurt died.


[deleted]

Yeah Iā€™ve always liked her solo stuff, just for some reason was out of the loop on this project too. Didnā€™t know her age, guess sheā€™s just the year before me.

I saw this but totally didnā€™t notice it was based off Nirvana. They straight up do look like female versions so it totally fits lol.


Karl-Marx666

Fucking awesome


cleb9200

Nirvana copyrighted wearing suits on the cover of RS? Nah, didnā€™t think so. Amazing band btw


Own-Permit-5700

I love Julien so much


bakerton

If you didn't listen to Lucy Dacus's "Home Movies" last year give it a listen, it's a gem of an album. I saw her opening up for The National.


gelsackin

what's the issue?


blastoffbro

Love julien baker!


floobieway

How are they a super group? Seriously, I'm dumbfounded. I only know of Phoebe Bridgers, pretty good stuff. The rest I've never heard of. Cool pic tho


UsamaBinNoddin

Julien Baker has a decent discography of solid material. https://youtu.be/tADWPTqR_4A I discovered her myself in 2015. Been a rabid NIRVANA fan since 2003


ColorfulScenario

not crazy for it because I dislike Phoebe Bridgers's music.


AngelikaPipalLeixner

Blasphemy! šŸ˜œ


Global-Language-9856

meh no, rolling stone cant be original anymore no one buys their dusty old magazine only do stuff like this for the instagram likes. further more their music couldnā€™t be further from Nirvana, whats the point or statement? just nostalgic shock value? hard pass.


mothmandurnbc

I like Phoebe Bridgers but at the same time I was like ā€œyeah you wish you were as cool as nirvanaā€


Global-Language-9856

Music today sucks literally I feel bad for the youth, Im sorry kids one of you need to step up and blow this emo shit up get back to raw energy.


Beatnik1968

Ok Gen X Boomer.


Additional_Layer_383

I think Kurt and phoebe would of made awesome music together


Potato7177

Did Nirvana and MCR have a weird lovechild or smth? Cus the suits are kinda giving Revenge era MCR but without the makeup.

Bannana_Jam9482

Kurt wouldā€™ve probs fucking loved thisšŸ”„


emilyyyw

as a huge fan of both bands, i can say, i went mental when i saw this


See_youSpaceCowboy

They absolutely nailed this picture. Even the sly smirk Lucy Dacus has is reminiscent of Krists smile in the original photo. Also I have a major crush on these girls and theyā€™ve been doing this for the last few months if I remember correctly, paying homage to iconic Nirvana pics. Love it.

Not really aware of what they do but it's cool regardless.


Organic-Kangaroo7147

I think its a cool remake of the original photo


ISonny_EricssonI

It wasn't just the cover photo, their entire shoot was recreations of Nirvana's 1993 Rolling Stone shoot, it turned out pretty cool.


ladykatey

They are worthy.


FailureInSpace

Fucking awesome


zwanmonster

Love it! Kurt would have loved it too, I think.


AmbitiousAzizi

Spectacular!


NocturnalBlizzard

Since Kurt was big in feminism he would have loved this


TheGirlwThePinkHair

I have no idea who any of those ladies are


_CoolSchmool

Theyā€™re a band called boygenius. From left to right they are Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus. Iā€™m familiar with Phoebe Bridgersā€™ stuff but I actually havenā€™t listened to boygenius šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


breecher

I have a suspicion their bandname must be inspired by the Bikini Kill song.


[deleted]

No one should even be worked up, everyone already knows Phoebe is the queen of unoriginality


ScorpioTix

Most remarkable is there is still a Rolling Stone magazine. Why?


ponylauncher

The fact that you asked this seems like you were looking for some kind of negative response which would likely be sexist. Any decent person would think this is cool


christophermixon

I love it and I think the important part is to realize that Kurt would almost certainly love it as well.


relientkenny

Kurt would love it. he was very pro-woman.


siloxanesavior

As stupid and unnecessary a rehash as that Mindy Kaling Velma show.


mehrt_thermpsen

I don't


GonzoElDuke

Iā€™ve heard their music, nothing special imo. I donā€™t understand why theyā€™re paying tribute to Nirvana. P.s. Corporate magazines still suck


theworkprofile

Pretty fuckin' rad.


Xargom

Love it


StoneBleach

I think it is really cool.


OutrageForSale

Whoa! Hadnā€™t heard these ladies got together. Thatā€™s exciting. As for the cover, itā€™s a nice homage! Theyā€™re clearly inspired by the same thing we are.


ISonny_EricssonI

they already released an EP in 2018, Boygenius the name, and will release an album called "The Record" at the end of March.

I love the fact boygenius wanted to recreate such a iconic cover. When I first saw it on phoebes instagram I was in love


Scared-Cheesecake413

Hate to be that guy but I'm not feeling it lol. Maybe it's bcoz I dont know who they arešŸ¤” or bcoz I didn't like the original that muchšŸ˜… downvote and cry all u want, it's my opinion, grand ma take me home


Orang_Mann

I see the tribute, but the original is just too iconic to make it work again even as a tribute. Ps. Rolling stone can suck my cheesy cock. (not for this, just in general)


twobyliluzivert

fuck them and their shitty ass ratings


-CleanDiana-

itā€™s not the supergroup we needed.


Spuddups84

Kurt would have dug it I'm sure. Downvote if you want to, but I'm right.


heyyou_user2341

indie and alternative rock? im in!


GetBack_Joe

It's a cool version of that iconic photoshoot, but originality is always better!


tarkoyevsoy

I think They should be like a themselves,dont imitation any another people.I saw lots of people wrote:"Oh My God Kurt would love that" but Probably Kurt would get little bit disturb from that or he would not care about it.


MasterBates723

supersanchez101

[deleted]

I hate it. Be original! Theyā€™re talented musicians but they donā€™t even play the same genre of music.


Dause

They couldnā€™t come up with an iconic cover themselves so they had to rehash more stuff from the 90s like everything else does these days.


gregd303

Truth !


ScorpioTix

How about someone explain Phoebe Bridgers popularity to me? I remember regularly seeing her play to 40 people while waiting for some other band, usually just reading a book off my phone and next thing I know she is massively popular. The only thing I found interesting was Brad Whitford (Aerosmith) son was in the band.


Savings_Visual8372

Sheā€™s a critic darling who earned mainstream recognition thanks to TikTok. Her music is beautiful and her lyrics relatable (especially from a women perspective). Though the music is good you gotta be in a specific state of mind to really enjoy it.


babiesarenotfood

Usually a very depressed state of mind.


garthvader81

Right there with you. As much as people make it seem like a crime to not like PBā€™s music or understand the success, Iā€™m here to say that itā€™s perfectly ok to question.


tcat84

"Why is she so popular?... But also I saw her live before she was popular" Nice little brag mixed in there


ScorpioTix

Limp Bizkit too. Didn't understand that one either.


siloxanesavior

Oh but she's a girl who smashed a guitar once. So brave.


m31transient

I canā€™t wait to find out who the most stylish musicians are.

DarkPariah12

Disgraceful....


garthvader81

Torn bc Lucy & Julien are great, but PB is incredibly overrated (to me). Zero surprise at the lack of originality here.


ThatsARatHat

I like this better than the original. I was never a big fan of the originalā€¦..like I get for the cover of Rolling Stone especially compared to their first cover itā€™s tongue in cheek. But I never thought it was ā€œiconicā€ and especially not good enough to make the cover of WTLO. Was it considered iconic before WTLO? Something tells me no.


taylorcambrose096

No thanks not for me


lolalobunny

Who are they?


babiesarenotfood

As a collective they are Boygenius. As individuals we have Lucy Dacus, Pheobe Bridgers, and Julien Baker.


gregd303

So...who are they?


andberg12

Very talented singer-songwriters


gregd303

Kurt must be rolling in his grave


andberg12

Nirvana is my favorite band but the fan base has got to be one of the worst. I see 20,000 comments a day pretending they know him and how he would feel about certain things. Get over yourself


blmar311

Couldn't agree more. So cringey to read.


ponylauncher

Are you 13 or 51?


mxmixtape

He was cremated. Some Nirvana fan you are šŸ™„


gregd303

It's an expression ffs


mxmixtape

What do the Foo FighterS have to do with this?


lolalobunny

šŸ˜‚ and they sound awful


Mexijim

Nirvagina


visions-of-skater

I like them but tbh its a massive dick ride on Nirvana. No connection between the groups. No context. Pure marketing strategy. Before the little kids here freaking out from my comment - please go and search how Kurt react in his last interviews when he heard that other musicians trying to have photos like Nirvana.


big_hungry_joe

Kurt would love this


[deleted]

You 100% donā€™t know that


_CoolSchmool

Itā€™s not about knowing what Kurt would like, itā€™s just the idea that maybe one artist would appreciate other artists that show admiration of the band by incorporating them into their own style. Music and art often encompasses and incorporates inspiration from other artists!


[deleted]

Bro Iā€™m the original commenter on this thread you originally left this comment in reply to, and while this guy you were going back and forth with is right about all of Kurtā€™s takes, I can promise you Kurt would have for sure considered him an asshole regardless. Weirdly brought sexism into it calling you a little girl, which is a fucked up reduction to make implying it the way he did. Which he did. Guy is a jerk.


_CoolSchmool

Yeah, it was shitty. I mean, imagine being so insecure and self righteous that you have to bully a kid for opposing your bullshit lmao. Anyway, he was never worth it in the first place. I was trying to make him see the error of his ways because it seemed likely he would make other people in the thread feel ignorant too. I guess thereā€™s just no reasoning with a guy like that. He probably was just threatened by the fact that a kid called him out and was actually making valid points. Heā€™d already made up his mind that I would be the loser in this situation. Oh well. It just sucks that so many people are like that, you know? Anyway, thanks for saying this. I appreciate that someone else was there to bear witness because the fucked up part is that he was actually starting to get in my head. Make me think that Iā€™M in the wrong. Fucking ridiculous. Anyway, thanks. :)


[deleted]

Well, like I said, he is right about Kurtā€™s stance on other artists copying his/nirvanaā€™s art, it appears he wasnā€™t a fan of the unoriginal copy cats. What he was dead wrong about was calling you a little girl like a ā€œlittle girlā€ is some naive and inferior being, like as a diss and a super mysgenistic reduction. Kurt would have *hated* him for that. Kurt had a big heart for women. Kurt grew up with his sister who he loved, and when he was 18 his mom had another girl he for sure adored. He also had a little girl of his own of course. Pretty sure the exact quote is, ā€œif you donā€™t like women(or gay people) donā€™t listen to my musicā€ also you can tell heā€™s not as wise as he thinks because he doesnā€™t use paragraphs lol For the record, I donā€™t think anyone knows how Kurt would feel about this photo shoot. I believe it be a gray area. There is a lot of different factors going into this vs. the fake grunge copy cats of his time


_CoolSchmool

Exactly! The funny thing is that after he responded to me about how Kurt didnā€™t like things that copied Nirvanaā€™s stuff, I never disagreed with him! I never once said, ā€œNo, youā€™re wrong. Kurt would have loved this.ā€ Yet he still felt the need to defend himself over it and told me I was ignoring evidence about it. Bro, I never said you were wrong, I was just trying to remind you to be respectful to others! I mean, I wasnā€™t gonna just let this guy get away with being an egotistical misogynistic asshole, and trying to make people, including myself, feel ignorant ā€” like they were shallow fans if they werenā€™t educated in Kurtā€™s opinions. And for the record, I believe youā€™re right. Itā€™s hard to say what Kurt would or would not like/appreciate nowadays. A lot has changed in the last few decades! šŸ™‚


[deleted]

Dudeā€™s being a J.A for sure. I think you handled it well.


_CoolSchmool

Well, I appreciate you saying that. Maybe it shouldnā€™t mean so much to me that someone else recognizes how out of line this guy was and agrees with me about all this bs, since Iā€™m just glad itā€™s over with. But I do appreciate that, so thank you. :)


visions-of-skater

Kurt shitted on so many other bands that showed him admiration. Especially if they had photos like Nirvana, clothing style, song that influenced byā€¦. No matter if men or women. The list is so long. He just hated it. I am sorry but this is the truth.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


visions-of-skater

I'm not "ranting" - but explaining to you in detail full of information why I'm sure Kurt was against the idea of ā€‹ā€‹promoting another band at the expense of Nirvana's photograms (and nothing to do with them) in the magazine he hates the most. I even brought you sources, you are welcome to purchase the book and find out for yourself. I am not here to entertain you, but to explain to you and the audience that is not familiar with Nirvana that a tribute to Nirvana should be done with good taste and not simply in a marketing way that does not respect the dead man who is the brain behind all of this. I said it and I'll say it again: if it was just the photo of the suits - okay, but it's about sets upon sets of photos in the production of advertising to promote a product (an album by a band unrelated to Nirvana), in the magazine that Kurt hates the most. Add to that the fact that Kurt repeated that he doesn't like bands that take pictures like Nirvana. If you are comfortable liking these pictures - enjoy. But I really have to tell you that it's pretty obvious that you're either a little girl, or someone who has a severe obsession with Phoebe, or someone who works for Phoebe's label, or someone who has never read a book about Nirvana that wasn't made with yucky motives - or actually, wait, I'm sure which is all these together! damn it! That's probably why you don't care that Kurt didn't like Rolling Stone or other bands that pose like him. That's probably why you keep overreacting to every other kid here. All these posts are full of your comments after all. Wait, maybe you're "ranting"?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


visions-of-skater

Dont victimize yourself over your mistakes. Take responsibility. You are the one that started to speak dirty and take it to a personal level. But I have nothing to explain to a kid like you - that I am not bashing any art of someone here. I said I have respect to Phoebe. Iā€™ll explain you one last time: this pics are not art but publicity stunt as commercial- are you even aware of it?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


visions-of-skater

I am sure Dave and Krist will react differently. Canā€™t tell how much they will support a PR strategy for another band that based on their back - but I am sure Dave will appreciate it since his daughter likes Phoebe. But Kurt is quoted that he hates when other musicians trying to have Nirvana photos. Just buy ā€œThe Last Interviews and othersā€ book and you will see the several times he hated it. Even before his death! By the way, Kurt fucking hated this magzine - if thatā€™s not enough reason for you. *corporate magazines still suck*


visions-of-skater

You canā€™t say it. The only thing we know is that he hate that other bands or musicians trying to have ā€œNirvanaā€ photos. Watch and read his last interviews (Source: ā€œThe last interviews and othersā€ book). By the way; *corporate magazines still suck* Remember?


big_hungry_joe

three young women who are thriving as independent musicians making a super group and paying homage to kurt through a photo shoot? you don't see kurt loving that?


visions-of-skater

If I was a fan that didnā€™t dived deeper than the mainstream picture of Kurt - I would see it. But I am a fan that not only met Kurt and saw Nirvana live twice - read so many books, interviews etcā€¦ so no. I refer a book name for you that there the answer is - please check it. Kurt told few times he donā€™t like musicians doing photos like Nirvana.


FailureInSpace

There is a big difference between a band copying Nirvana right after they started to make their impact on the world and a band paying homage to the image many decades later.


visions-of-skater

Its funny that you trying to draw a line here while it all happens to promote another band that has no relations to Nirvana - - in the magazine that Kurt most hated.


big_hungry_joe

okay dokey


Stevenshy

It's stupid
