Nirvana was a Grunge/Alternative Rock band that formed in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1980s. The band was able to release several albums that helped alternative rock and Grunge artists break out into the mainstream and produce income that helped smaller bands and music projects develop.
Nirvana is a band close to my heart. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest in the area where Nirvana formed. I have driven through Aberdeen many times, and it is a depressing coastal village that used to be a powerhouse in the logging industry. The band formed in this location in the late 1980s as bands including the Ramones, Rancid and Social Distortion were trailblazing the Punk and Rock genre. A young Kurt Cobain would reach out to start a band, and this was truly a spark that started the Grunge Revolution in the Pacific Northwest that would sweep the globe.
Kurt Cobain is a Grunge and Rock icon, and his style and voice are known the world over. Their 1990 album "Nevermind" featured the hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and was a commercial success that helped jump start the Grunge movement. Nirvana had a massive following at the time, myself included, and many other Grunge bands at the time benefitted from their fame. At this time Pearl Jam, Temple of a Dog, Stone Temple Pilots and Primus were riding the Grunge wave pioneered by Nirvana that would lead to an alternative rock renissance.
Kurt Cobain died in Seattle in 1994, and news of his passing rocked the world and especially the Rock and Grunge scene. Nirvana served as the incubator for many Grunge and Rock bands, and the Foo Fighters were created by Nirvana's drummer after the end of the band. Nirvana existed for three years in the mainstream, but pollinated the industry and primed fans for alternative rock from the Pacific Northwest and Southern California.
My Risingstar Report 4/1/2024:
In the first quarter of 2024, I was able to earn more Starbits and have been focusing on boosting my earnings through record staking, NFT card purchasing and developing a cadence of claiming from the music mission faucet. In the second quarter I will be working to boost my income from the game by focusing on music lessons.
Music lessons are often overlooked in Risingstar because their completion does not come with Starbits income. The upside is that these missions do provide experience and reduce ego. These lessons provide a permanent boost to your claims, so they should be seen as a positive and worthwile.
I will be adding alot more in the record staking aspect of this game. It's easy to find records worth investing into, and the payoff is daily income from the resulting staked STARBIT tokens. This is an ongoing project and a process I am working to refine. I will be buying more Starbits on Hive Engine and staking them in game to earn more passive income in Q2 2024.
Have a great day and game on 🎮😎🎸
