Kurt: “We are stuck in such a rut. We have been labeled. R.E.M. is what? College rock? That doesn’t really stick. Grunge is as potent a term as New Wave. You can’t get out of it. It’s going to be passé. You have to take a chance and hope that either a totally different audience accepts you or the same audience grows with you.”

Interviewer: “And what if the kids just say, “We don’t dig it, get lost.”

Kurt: “Oh, well. [Laughs]. Fuck ‘em.”
