Kurt Cobain was always quirky and tongue-in-cheek when he talked to the press, never taking things too serious. But what Kurt was really good at was predicting the corporate future of the music industry. In all seriousness, he seems to predict what would be popular today and what music would dominate the charts. Though his predictions are spot on, one thing I always realized that his band in his music change the course of music history and is still being felt today.

Kurt Cobain's Spot-On Prediction About Mainstream Music

Throughout music history, one can observe that some music genres emerged from a counter-culture or the underground music scene but later became mainstream. The mainstream genres vary based on countries and regions, but the determining three factors are the production, listening rate, and context-specific reception of music, which separate mainstream from underground.
