Kurt Cobain died 10 years ago. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth writes about him in a NYTimes editorial:
Rage and aggression were elements for Kurt [Cobain] to play with as an artist, but he was profoundly gentle and intelligent. He was sincere in his distaste for bullyboy music -- always pronouncing his love for queer culture, feminism and the punk rock do-it-yourself ideal. Most people who adapt punk as a lifestyle represent these ideals, but with one of the finest rock voices ever heard, Kurt got to represent them to an attentive world.
