Suicide is contagious. It’s the reason why schools are recommended against having memorial pages in yearbooks and stuff for students who killed themselves. It encourages more suicides.
I don’t remember how I heard about it, but I was in the middle of my “fuck everyone and everything people enjoy” phase of being a teenager, so I was probably happy about it unfortunately.
I was 14 and I remember it quite well. All us teens in the park behind our apartment building had long discussion about it. I also remember all the copy cat suicides that followed his death to.

No… No that can’t be right. 1994 was like… shit.

I remember how I heard about his death. I was watching MTV Europe and Ray Cokes was saying a dead person was found in Cobain’s house.

And then the next days, news were all about teens who committed suicide (or failed to, ending up as vegetables) in a similar fashion.
That was weird.

MTV Europe has a strange way of saying things

That was just what was known. Cokes had a live show and they just got the news that a dead person had been found in Kurt Cobain’s house.
