Nirvana
Forms and conventions
Nirvana are known for their Indie rock genre music which has been going for the past 29 years. Like Greenday they have their audience has expectations in the music that they produce and to the behaviour they display in their music video's. Nirvana conforms with the conventions of an Indie rock band as they use anything from heavy metal musical instruments to basic electrical guitars and the vary from singing in
mellow tones to screaming and singing aggressively during their recordings or performing live. The band's name itself comes from a Buddhist term which refers to the imperturbable stillness of mind after the fires of desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished. Nirvana represented the leading edge of a movement born in the sub-basement of the 1970s punk and the 1980s underground. Kurt Cobain said that Nirvana used dynamic shifts that went from quiet to loud and that the band seeked to produce a mixture of heavy and pop musical sounds. Like Greenday, Kurt Cobain the lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana wrote and sung is own songs.
