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

Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that being true to oneself is more important than trying to fit in or be popular. Imagine a student who loves painting, but all the popular kids at school are more into sports. If the student stops painting and starts playing sports just to fit in, they are giving up what really makes them happy. The quote suggests it is better to stick with what you love, even if it means you won't be seen as "cool" by others. In other words, being authentic and doing what you enjoy is more valuable than changing yourself just to be accepted by people. It encourages people to embrace their true interests and values, rather than seeking approval from others.
