Cobain is considered one of rock’s most iconic musicians. He was the voice of Generation X and has made numerous “best of” lists for his singing and guitar abilities. He is a major figurehead for the 1990s alternative rock scene. Fans continue to pay tribute to Cobain on the anniversary of his death at and near his home in Washington. In 2009, a monument to Cobain was erected in Aberdeen, Washington. Several books and films have been written about Cobain, including the 2015 documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck and 2015 docudrama Soaked in Bleach, which suggested his death may have been a homicide.
