(What's the name of the show? And I prefer she's a rock musician, unless you can explain why you feel pop would work better for her.)

IOTL, She's not really a grunge fan, and is more into Brit rock acts like Oasis and indie bands like Mercury Rev. Why pop? I dunno maybe to lay down the roots for a sound that can still evolve in to rock.
 
September 7th, 1997: Cobain films his appearance in Chris Farley's film The Gelfin. At that point in filming, Farley had lost significant amounts of weight, so much that prosthetics needed to be used to convey his more well-known appearance. Cobain joked that Farley looked like a "cancer victim" he was so skinny.

September 7th, 2007: Chris Farley is diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer, which he believes was caused due to years of smoking. He recalls the comment Cobain made ten years earlier, calling it: "Prophetic..and utterly horrifying in context." Though Farley's weight had been significantly lower in recent years then it was during the start of his career, his recently gaunt appearance terrified several friends and family members, who believed "Compared to you now, Jack Skellington looks like how you used to."
