Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are – Kurt Cobain

quote, alternative travel

The quote “Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are” is widely attributed to Kurt Cobain, but there is no verifiable source confirming that he actually said or wrote it. Discussions among fans suggest skepticism about its authenticity, noting that it doesn’t fully align with Cobain’s known style. Platforms like Goodreads even list it under his name but tag it as “misattributed.”

That said, it’s still a nice message to give – it encourages self-acceptance and embracing one’s individuality, which is something Cobain himself often advocated for in his music and interviews.
