...while Cobain and the rest of us punks may have rejected most of the ideas that came out of hippie counterculture, there is one element of the movement that we swallowed hook, line and sinker. This was the idea of counterculture itself. In other words, we saw ourselves doing the exact same thing that the hippies saw themselves doing. The difference, we assumed, is that, unlike them, we would never sell out. We would do it right.

Some myths die hard.
