Living with Social Anxiety

What was Kurt like during his high school years

Widely artistic. Very creative and artistic. He was constantly drawing, constantly making video animation. Here are a few quotes I dug out of the archives for you with Kurt speaking out about high school.

“I always questioned things in high school. I had this different attitude about things that were in history books and stuff. I knew they were altered for certain areas of the country and stuff like that, but I didn’t know on what scale things have been altered. I know now better than to trust anything I read. I wasn’t thriving socially.

I stayed in my room and played guitar all the time. I thought I was inventing a new sound that would change the whole outlook of music. I discovered it was just the “Seattle Sub Pop Sound.” When I was in high school, I dressed like a “Punk Rocker” and people would scream, “DEVO!” at me because Devo infiltrated the mainstream.

I use to pretend I was gay just to fuck with people. I’ve had the reputation of being a homosexual every day since I was 14. It was really cool, because I found a couple of gay friends in Aberdeen which is almost impossible. I got beat up a lot. It was weird at first. But once I got the “gay-tag”, it gave me freedom to be able to “be a freak” and let people know they should just stay away from me. I was accepted by cool people because the cheerleaders thought I was cute. The jocks knew the jock-girls thought I was cute. I just chose not to hang around with them.

I didn’t meet Krist until after high school. I met him through The Melvins, just mutual Punk Rock friends. The only handful of people who shared the same interests as us.

I got in trouble in school, constantly being kicked out. I was supposed to go to art school. I had won a couple of scholarships, but it was just too much for me to handle. I knew I didn’t want to do art. I wanted to do music, so I ran away from home. I quit high school the last month. That’s what I’ve done all my life. I always quit jobs without telling the employer that I was quitting, I just wouldn’t show up one day. I was the same in high school, quit with only two months to go. I’ve always copped out of things. So I became a “Punk Rocker” for a few months and lived on the streets.” - Kurt Cobain.
