The Gossip Girl actress has been repeatedly likened to the Hole rocker since she launched her group The Pretty Reckless.
However, Momsen has now said that she sees herself as being more like Love's late husband Cobain, as she is a huge Nirvana fan.
The 16-year-old told Entertainment Weekly: "I don't wanna be Courtney Love - I wanna be Kurt Cobain. He's brilliant and his songs are genius. The Hole records are great.
"Everyone always compares me to Courtney Love because they think we, like, dress the same and we both have blonde hair, wear lipstick and dresses. But I'm sorry, don't a lot of girls dress like that? I look at Nirvana. I don't look at Hole."
