They released their final album, 1993’s In Utero, before Cobain died by suicide in 1994, at the age of 27. That popularity didn’t jive well with Nirvana, whose songs about alienation, nihilism, and other forms of existential dread juxtaposed the blockbuster fame that followed.

Initially comprising Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Chad Channing, Nirvana released their debut studio album Bleach via local independent label Sub Pop in 1989.
