Did Kurt Cobain say that he loves animals, and people were tired of him because of aggressiveness?

For many years, the Runet has been distributed by the musician attributed to the musician that he loves all the animals “indiscriminately”, but does not like people: “Some aggressive aggressive ones are worn and running.” We found out if this was the leader of the Nirvana group.

One of the most common options for the alleged quote of Cobain sounds like this: “I generally love animals. Someone loves cats there, or dogs, and I love everyone indiscriminately. I just don't like people. Tired, bitch. They rush and run, some aggressive. " In some publications, the phrase sounds a little different. For example, somewhere the artist supposedly calls people with "scum", and sometimes AddsThat they "scream on each other, they are fussing and all evil."

According to the search "VKontakte", only in the last three years there appeared About 200 posts with this quote under the authorship of Cobain, although you can find earlier notes (2019, 2018, 2015, 2012). Similar publications are found on other platforms: on Facebook* (examples here, here, here, here And here), Telegram (here, here And here), Twitter (here, here And here), Instagram* (here And here), "Zen", On"Picabu" YouTube And sites With quotes.

Cobain really loved animals, especially cats, turtles and rodents, which is confirmed by numerous photos And Articles In magazines, interviews with themselves musician And him colleaguesas well as documentary "Cobain: Damn installation»About the life and work of the artist. But what about Cobeine told Bruce Panitt is a co -founder of the Sub Pop label, on which Nirvana's debut album was released: “He was a sensitive person, loved children and animals very much. I remember when I first visited his apartment, there were about three different cells with gerbils. I got the impression that he loved animals stronger than most people. He talked about the fact that it may open a contact zoo. He just thought. "

However, finding a quote of interest to us in English did not succeed in “verified”. More precisely, there are publications in English, but they are just Translations posts On VKontakte. The thing is that the phrase of love for animals and dislike for people to Cobain does not apply and initially appeared in Russian.

In 2008, the Russian feature film "was released"Nirvana", Filmed by director Igor Voloshin according to the script of Olga Larionova. According to the plot of the picture, the heroine Alice moves to St. Petersburg, and her boyfriends named Val and her boyfriend Valera Mery are becoming her neighbors in the apartment. In one of the scenes of a dead, the role of which was played by actor Arthur Smolyaninov **, tells Alice about her studies at the Moscow Veterinary College and pronounces:

I generally love animals. Someone loves or dogs there, and I love everyone indiscriminately. I just don't like people. Tired, bitch. Some aggressive aggressive, especially in Moscow, are worn and run. And here, in short, too.

On the YouTube channel of the film company STV movie Layd Openly public. The initial fragment begins at a time mark 14:06.

Most likely, initially users signed a quote with the word “nirvana” (for example, as here), and someone mistakenly decided that we were talking about the musical group of Cobain, and not about the Russian film. In addition, a part of the mention of Moscow was cut out of the phrase.

*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns social networks Facebook and Instagram, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.

** The Russian authorities introduced Arthur Smolyaninov in registry foreign agents, as well as in list terrorists and extremists.
