<p><b>Kurt Donald Cobain</b> (February 20, 1967 – <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> April 5, 1994) was an American musician. He was the lead vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter, and a founding member of the <a href="/wiki/Grunge" title="Grunge">grunge</a> band <a href="/wiki/Nirvana_(band)" title="Nirvana (band)">Nirvana</a>. Through his angsty songwriting and <a href="/wiki/Anti-establishment" title="Anti-establishment">anti-establishment</a> persona, his compositions widened the thematic conventions of mainstream rock music. He was heralded as a spokesman of <a href="/wiki/Generation_X" title="Generation X">Generation X</a>, and is widely recognized as one of the most influential <a href="/wiki/Rock_music" title="Rock music">rock</a> musicians. </p><p>Cobain formed Nirvana with <a href="/wiki/Krist_Novoselic" title="Krist Novoselic">Krist Novoselic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Aaron_Burckhard" title="Aaron Burckhard">Aaron Burckhard</a> in 1987, establishing themselves as part of the <a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a> music scene that later became known as <a href="/wiki/Grunge" title="Grunge">grunge</a>. Burckhard was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Chad_Channing" title="Chad Channing">Chad Channing</a> before the band released their debut album <i><a href="/wiki/Bleach_(Nirvana_album)" title="Bleach (Nirvana album)">Bleach</a></i> (1989) on <a href="/wiki/Sub_Pop" title="Sub Pop">Sub Pop</a>, after which Channing was in turn replaced by <a href="/wiki/Dave_Grohl" title="Dave Grohl">Dave Grohl</a>.
