I guess if MTV had accepted the responsibility mystical crow thinks they have, they should've said "Sorry Nirvana - Kurt, Dave Grohl and that other guy - we just can't play your music videos. We know you're generating a real buzz and that your sh
it's awesome .. but if you guys get very rich and famous, and Kurt can't handle that and kills himself, then it would actually be our fault for giving you guys this opportunity other bands would kill for."
It doesn't make sense, does it? It's like someone giving you a million dollars and then you complain to them that you don't like being rich - and hold them accountable for making you depressed. It's the ultimate douche bag first world problem joke

And it's not really known if he committed suicide or if it was murder. It could be very well that he was suffering depression and one thing lead to another... but I heard somewhere he was killed. Anyway, it can't be proven one way or the other.

I don't think MTV was Kurt's biggest problem, and he had possibly tried to take his own life earlier by the way, unsuccessfully (see Rome incident). At periods in his youth, he was homeless, living under a bridge. He did drugs and was generally self-destructive. Then he married the queen of manipulative bitches, Courtney Love, and had children with her. He did not have an inkling of the maturity needed to take responsibility for his life at the time. To become rich and successful and to actually get his music out there was only one "problem" in a pile of many.
Rather than blame the industry for killing him, I think they gave him and the band these chances and opportunities and people who get them should be grateful. Failing to do so or realize that is kinda douchy. People should actually have to take just a little bit of responsibility themselves for their own actions and not blame everything on their benefactors. Kurt's whine about being successful was just sad.
