“I'd rather be dead than cool”
— Kurt Cobain

Simplified Meaning:
This quote suggests that being true to yourself is more important than trying to impress others or follow trends. Imagine a person who really loves reading books, but all their friends think reading is boring and prefer playing sports. If this person stops reading and starts playing sports just to fit in, they aren't being true to themselves. The speaker of the quote would rather stay true to their love of reading, even if that means others think they are not "cool." This attitude can help someone live a happier life by doing what they genuinely enjoy and believe in, instead of constantly worrying about others' opinions. It's a reminder to value authenticity over popularity.
