Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle faces backlash for using "un-alived" term for Kurt Cobain's suicide in an exhibit.

The Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle sparked controversy after using the term "un-alived" to describe Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's suicide in an exhibit. The term, popular on TikTok for discussing death and suicide without directly mentioning it, has been criticized by some visitors who argue that it disrespects Cobain's legacy. The museum has not commented on the issue, while linguists attribute the rise of "unalived" to younger generations' sensitivity in discussing sensitive topics.
