Who?
Lmao i heard justin bieber talk about John Lennon once, who is he?

I grew out of both of them, but hey were cool for a while.

John Lennon made cool music, but wasn't a genius, hell George wrote better music than him.

Kurt is just an emo faggot

Both caught the mood of the people at that time, I wouldn't call them genius but extremely in touch with reality and extremely talented. Imagine if a classical composer who was better than Mozart was born today (I don't know how you would measure it though lmao) would he gain even 1% of the recognition of Mozart who while worse was in touch with the reality of the time?

they're both like han solo
han shot first

You have to put forward why you think that before we can discuss it. We need to know what about them apparently make them genius in the same way.

John Lennon spent the second half of his career wishing he was Bob Dylan, and writing worse lyrics than both him and George Harrison. Kurt Cobain was a sincere artist but not a genius.

>Kurko Bane
>Genius
Lol

He even sung like Dylan. "Don't let me down" is practically a parody. And everyone knows his paranoia over 4th Time Around.

Dude he spawned a genre and directed his area of pop culture. He changed rock music.

Just because people get famous by making noises doesn't mean they are geniouses. ITT two fucking marries with shit K/D ratio.

he changed rock music yes, but it doesn't mean he was a genius. A lot of people changed things you know

Using your logic then I'm a genius too for changing my brother's diaper 9 years ago.

If either of these fools were geniuses Kirk Cobbin wouldn't have tried to paint a wall like he did. He would have used paint and a brush. John Lemon wouldn't have ruined the Beatles by dating a chink or have left his back door unlocked.
Two clumbsy oafs if you ask me.

I think in most cases if mass amounts of people like your music, you are probably not a genius. Most people have a very low intelligence level. By association I think it just means they were creative idiots

HE SPAWNED A FUCKING GENRE REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some fag
George is cool if ur smoking that devils grass in a sad point in your life
Kurt Kibein was ahead of our time
They were pop culture magnets, bringing the past to oabe the future through now.
And no, a modern Mozart would burn out in his grandma's basement with a sound cloud full of tracks with 17 views at most
HEY YOU'VE GOT TO HIDE YOUR LOVE AWAY
what's the difference
y0 waddup
ow

fucker

you
just happened
to
cut me
on all that
Edge

Imagine there's no Lennon.

Nah you just have lazy, shitty parents that made you take charge

That and the marketing of thw Beatles work was fucking bananas. They were a boy group that had some catchy gingles. I don't know much about Kirk, but he killed himself so his music must have been ass for him to do that.

Threads like this are pretty dumb. All these faggots who feel big saying that others have shit taste. Boring.
Yeah, both were geniuses. I haven't listened to In Utero in like a decade and just put it on again yesterday. If you like hard rock and listen to Milk It and Very Ape back to back and say it's anything but genius, you're probably retarded.
And Lennon, while I hate the song Imagine and most of his solo work, was always the most interetesting of the Beatles, more hit and miss than Paul, who was reliable, but when Lennon hit, he knocked it outta the fucking park. Come Together. A Day In The Life. Help.
Also, Cobain and Lennon are two in my top 5 rock vocalists of all time.
I think what makes them similar is that they are both masters of uniting dissonance and insanely catchy melody, while most can do only one or the other.

Lennon yes kobain no, Kobain wasn't anything special he was marketing pure and simple, he didn't invent the Seattle sound and a lot of the tracks made sound similar to others hit released by other groups at the time. The had one big pop hit, and marketing did the rest.

It's relitevily easy if you try

How old are you and how do you grow out of music you either like it or don't.

ITT: Born in the wrong generation

Look, user, I need to tell you something because I don't know if I'll ever see you again.

I... I was an orphan... and I was raised in a whore house in Philadelphia. I read about Milton Hershey and his school in a porno mag, or some crap the girls left by the toilet, and it said some kids had a different life there. I could picture it. I dreamt of it. The idea of being wanted. Because the girl who was forced to raise me would look at me every day like she hoped I would disappear.

The closest I came to feeling wanted was a girl... who made me go through her John's pockets while they screwed. If I collected more than a dollar... she would buy me a Hershey bar. And I would eat it... alone... in my room... with great ceremony. Feeling like a normal kid.

It said sweet on the wrapper.

It was the only sweet thing in my life.

both are faggots that deserved to eat bullets

I'm glad you shared that.

!!111!1

>I posted it again, mom

Kek kobain didn't spawn the genre the genre already existed he had the genres biggest pop hit.

user, I think you need to take some time off. Without pay.

Weird you mentioned those two.

Kurt Cousin was really murdered.

John Lennon actually killed himself.

Reverse the rolls that the Jews feed you through CNN, Fox and MTV. refusal of further investigation in both cases and any real evidence make it hard to believe the shill

Lemon and Kona in are both kurb stomped
By pic related, music created decades ahead of it time.

Lol no. Changing isnt the key factor. It's the scope of what which was changed that matters.

who?

Except Han didn't shoot himself. Neither did John

this is rickman and linus

I like CCR because every song sounds the same
"I aint no fortunate son born on the bayou under a bad moon rising, awhoo!"

Cos he's wasn't a faggy cuck

Both were highly over rated...at least they weren't around too long. Thanks Courtney and Mark, you guys helped to make the world a better place!

Nope heard it through the grape vine, always thought it was written by nigress, when I was younger when I found out it was CCR blew my fucking mind. It's still blues based but sounds nothing like fortunate son.

>You have to put forward why you think that before we can discuss it. We need to know what about them apparently make them genius in the same way.

I think they both captured song writing, simple guitar playing, atmosphere through tone and creativity in the sense where they could create hit records that would influence pop culture based on their style, sound, message and appearance. Basically appealing to the market in a personal way to the one buying, while keeping their distance from their act as an art

Beatles literally were 4 Justin Biebers. People just think nowadays that old music can't be gay

"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" is a song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown Records in 1966. The first recording of the song to be released was produced by Whitfield for Gladys Knight & the Pips and released as a single in September 1967; it went to number two in the Billboard chart.
>you can scrape your mind up and put it back in

I assume this is bait, because no one can be that retarded

Kurt was a illuminati puppet.
His name is 33 in numerology.
33rd degree freemason.
Lennon was a British spy honestly no different from Kurt.
Both tools to keep the masses dumb

>Beatles literally were 4 Justin Biebers.
>literally were 4 Justin Biebers.
>literally

...

Nice bait, I'm biting.

Fuck you, you're wrong.

The Beatles were innovators, their songs are classic. Justine Bieber's music will never be classic, just a bunch of sugar pop that will fade with the next big "thing"

John just enjoid watching the wheels go round and round. Peace and Love brothers

who says what's classic?
will Skrillex be classic in a couple of centuries, even so he didn't invent something new, he just made it popular. Just like the Beatles.

It's faggy pop rock love songs created to make adolescents scream.
Get over it, beeing gay is okay nowadays.

>The Beatles were innovators
Nah son, you're wrong.

Want to know why The Beatles blew up?
Two names for you:
>[German who wrote all of their lyrics] - the mind behind the group
>George Martin - the sound behind the group

Did they change the definition of genius to a synonym for mediocre? What should we label Einstein now?

I turn on a light bulb every day of my life. And I will until the day I die. That makes me much better than Einstein. So who really cares. Let's call him "ok"

At one point in their live everyone of them had the 'bieber cut'
Their music just mixes too popular genres with simple repetetive lyrics
most songs are about love and worshipping girls
youtube.com/watch?v=_awAH-JJx1k
wow, such deep and progressive music

Beautiful besides the earrape screams

another gaseous niggerbrain on crack
are we really calling Einstein a genius when he couldn't even play a barre chord?

Your ignorance is invincible

overrated
