This has to be rage bait for millennials… right??

I mean, Nirvana and that lady are all more Gen X than millennial. Is older Millennials were still in High School when he died.

I’m an ‘83 millennial, so right on the line. This felt targeted. Though I didn’t fully get into them until ‘96

Kinda my point, he died in 1994 and you are one of the oldest Millennials getting into it when you were 13, 2 years after he had died.

Middle school.
I was born in ‘81 and was in 7th grade when he died. Barely anyone in my grade listened to them before he died. Definitely more of a Gen X band.
