This work documents the considerable damage done by the migration of cynical academic ideas into music journalism - demonstrated architypically by Kurt Cobain, a martyr to postmodernism in music journalism. The author synthesizes a number of fields: American and British academic and journalistic music criticism; aesthetic and literary history and theory from romanticism through postmodernism; alternative music such as feminist punk and grunge; the obsession with commercial incorporation; and subcultural sociology.
