Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean Cobain sat down for a recent interview with the Rolling Stone and revealed that when it comes to her music choices, she admitted she is not a huge Nirvana fan which her late father, Kurt Cobain, was the lead singer.

Frances Bean Cobain said she loves Mercury Rev, Oasis and Brian Jonestown Massacre but when it comes to Nirvana, she'd rather pass.

"I don't really like Nirvana that much," the 22-year-old visual artist told Rolling Stone. "The grunge scene is not what I'm interested in."

Despite saying she is not a huge fan Kurt Cobain's music, she said that she does love the song "Dumb" and says that it does leave her with a lot of emotions.

"I cry every time I hear that song," she tells the mag. "It's a stripped-down version of Kurt's perception of himself -- of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation."

Frances also talked about the upcoming HBO documentary on her father's life, "Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck."

Frances is an executive producer of the piece, which premieres May 4 and uses home videos, band footage and interviews to tell the story of the revered songwriter and guitarist, who killed himself in his Seattle home on April 5, 1994.

Frances said the documentary allows her father to speak for himself; it won't be glorified tales of a dead rock star.

"For me, the film provided a lot more factual information about my father -- not just tall tales that were misconstrued, misremembered, rehashed, retold 10 different ways," she said. "It was factual evidence of who my father was as a child, as a teenager, as a man, as a husband, as an artist. It explored every single aspect of who he was as a human being."
