Kurt Cobain's Daughter Not a Fan of Nirvana; Says Father is 'Larger than Life'

Nirvana's Kurt Cobain is largely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of his time. His daughter does not like the band's songs so much.

As an alternative rock group formed in 1987, the band was initially controversial, but their music has now been universally accepted. In the late 1980s, they went through a series of drummers before bringing Dave Grohl on board, who subsequently formed Foo Fighters. In total, they've sold 75 million albums worldwide and have a worldwide fan base of millions. However, Francis Bean Cobain is not one of these people.

The daughter of Kurt, she opened up about her own music tastes but shared that not liking the group actually benefitted her on this realm. She was already a teenager when she realized the power of her dad's music. "I was around 15 when I realised he was inescapable."

Not only did Francis not listen to them, but she added: " I don't really like Nirvana that much," before jokingly making a quip, "Sorry, promotional people, Universal," referring to the film. Grunge isn't her personal music taste, revealing that she's more "into Mercury Rev, Oasis, Brian Jonestown Massacre," just to name a few.

"The grunge scene is not what I'm interested in," she explained. This does not mean she thinks her dad's music is all bad. "'Territorial Pissings' is a f****** great song," adding: "And Dumb, I cry every time I hear that song. It's a stripped-down version of Kurt's perception of himself, of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation."

With Francis appearing in numerous sections of archive material, the movie gave viewers a glimpse into Kurt's fatherhood. "I was around 15 when I realized he was inescapable," she said in an interview with Rolling Stone. There's my dad, even if I'm driving and the radio is playing."

The 29-year-old admitted that the band's legacy wasn't difficult for he to ultimately deal with because she didn't listen to them. Speaking of her adolescent years being dominated by Nirvana's impact, Francis admitted that becoming a fan would have made her feel more uneasy.

She does not deny her father's impact, even after death, is massive though.

He's larger than life and our culture is obsessed with dead musicians. We love to put them on a pedestal. If Kurt had just been another guy who abandoned his family in the most awful way possible ... But he wasn't."
