by literally, explicitly, “asking for it”, he makes listeners uncomfortable. they know it is an incongruous & strange statement that no one would actually say. the raw discomfort created proves that no one is ever “asking for it”-that phrase is just a way of silencing victims. that’s why the song is powerful.
i interpret this song as more of a kind of extreme christian attitude of turning the other cheek, like "rape me, do whatever you want with me, you can't hurt me", also it's oxymoronic because you can never technically ask someone to rape you, otherwise it wouldn't be rape but that's just my interpretation
@@lmn6440 this makes a lot of sense. art can have a billion different interpretations and i think this is one that really resonates, thanks for sharing
When Kurt and Dave both go into screaming Rape Me together at the end is one of my all-time favorite music moments. When I watched this live on MTV as a kid that part had me going fucking bananas in my room!🤘
I f*ing love this song. It's so powerful. I don't ever want to be living under the shadow of fears again. Some people are just shameless and it is their fault not mine. Thank you Kurt, thank you. Rape and sexual harassment should be discussed, not concealed.
As a rape survivor, there's just something very comforting about this song, i don't know how to put it into words, i think it might have to do with Kurt's delivery, like you can tell the intent of this song in his voice, he was a beautiful man, still sad we lost such an amazing soul.
@@Mia-jr1pq Having listened to many interviews with Kurt the song is not just about the physical act of rape but also but anti-misogyny in general. It makes sense that it speaks to you considering your experience. People are regularly horrible and ugly to each other but whatever is done to you by someone else is about them and not you. We can all choose who we are - we can't choose that for other people. Hope you are OK and I would recommend 'Die like a motherfucker' by Therapy ruclips.net/video/faH90FOfeeU/видео.html :)

Back then the partys where totaly different, also because people were more peaceful and in a different mood. Nobody was interested in the political views, we were there to party, there were no fights or even knife attacks. People felt safe, which made partying completely different.
@@Smokingguns86 it is though, its about how a man can rape a women and she is basically saying "rape me and get it over with" because the man will get karma when he goes to prison and is raped himself and has it much worse off.
I've always felt this song is about being strong enough to endure all the pain you have to go through life. Something like: give me all your hate, give me all your abuse, I can take it - You might hurt my body, but you won't break my soul.
I was raped by a doctor when I was very young. I was born with a birth defect, and for 51 years the world has continually beaten me down. I love this song.
I always get the feeling that Kurt never thought anyone else “got” his songs. Which is understandable, they’re so personal and evocative. The man was a tortured soul.
that's what happens with a lot of people that are very lost in their (mental) illnesses. It's a lonely place to be in. Sad i agree, if he could only grasp a little of the love people would have for him, in his best and his worst, he probably would still be with us.
Today 5 April 2024 and i want to say that R.I.P Kurt Cobain, You are the heart of the rock spirit, you will not be forgotten even if a century passes, not 30 years. 🤟🏼
Damn,I miss Nirvana so much! Such a huge influential band,that changed the landscape of modern Rock n Roll in the late 80's and early 90's. The mainstream of heavy metal rock music was injected into a new wave of Seattle punk rock music that changed the way we all loved rock n roll music. The music industry was evolved over those years,and Nirvana was a big part of that. It was certainly a generational change that forever cemented bands like Nirvana,Alice in Chains,Soundgarden into rock music history! As a big fan of this era of music,I always enjoy listening to Nirvana bringing their music to the forefront.
As a survivor of both rape and severe child abuse, this is one of the most healing songs out there for me. I remember when feminists immediately attacked this song. So I listened to it and immediately saw feminists had misunderstood the song completely! I have a Women's Studies degree from Univ. of WA in Seattle, the oldest Women's Studies dept at a US university, and I was sad that feminists often could not understand this song. I could write an entire senior thesis on this one song. But simply put, I find it very healing.
There are a lot of songs that people completely misunderstand because they just hear the title or a single lyric and think "well, clearly this musician couldn't be saying anything deep, so no need to listen to the rest of it". It's very sad.
@ kirsten I would say, there's a lot of ill-informed people with pre-conceived notions that jump to any conclusion when they they hear something they don't understand
But you have to consider , there are people who won’t go deeply into songs, they are just not bothered about that. All they hear is the repetition of rape me and that can have adverse effects on vulnerable, people. Melancholy is addictive!
I think that I can understand why they misunderstood this song, the first time I listened to it I was really confused so I searched up what he was trying to say and it made sense so yeah lol
I would like that Kurt were alive to tell him “thank you so much for this song” because this song gives me strong and makes me feel so powerful and secure when I remember that my own mother rape me when I was 5 years old, stills hurting but now I can live with that. Thank you so much Kurt Cobain, thank you for gifted us all of your songs and make history in the music, you are and always will one of the bests 🖤

Kurt Cobain explains the real meaning of "Rape Me": “Basically, I was trying to write a song that supported women and dealt with the issue of rape. Over the last few years, people have had such a hard time understanding what our message is, what we're trying to convey, that I just decided to be as bold as possible. How hard should I stamp this point? How big should I make the letters? It's not a pretty image. But a woman who is being raped, who is infuriated with the situation… it's like "Go ahead, rape me, just go for it, because you're gonna get it." I'm a firm believer in karma, and that motherfucker is going to get what he deserves, eventually. That man will be caught, he'll go to jail, and he'll be raped. So rape me, do it, get it over with. Because you're gonna get it worse.” Kurt Cobain explica el significado real de "Rape Me": “Básicamente, estaba intentando escribir una canción que apoyara a la mujer, y tratara el tema de las violaciones sexuales. Durante los últimos años, la gente ha tenido problemas para interpretar cuál es nuestro mensaje, a lo que queremos llegar, que simplemente decidí ser lo más enfático que fuera posible. ¿Qué tan duro debo remarcar este punto? ¿Qué tan grandes debo hacer las letras? No es una imagen bonita. Pero una mujer que está siendo violada, quien está enfurecida por la situación… es como “Continúa, viólame, sólo hazlo, porque lo vas a conseguir.” Creo firmemente en el karma, y ese cabrón va a recibir lo que merece, eventualmente. Ese hombre será atrapado, irá a la cárcel, y será violado. Así que viólame, hazlo, termina con ello. Porque lo vas a recibir peor.” Kurt Cobain talks about rape: “Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth and it happens every few minutes. The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Go to the source and start there." Kurt Cobain habla sobre las violaciones sexuales: “Violar es uno de los crímenes más terribles en la tierra y sucede cada pocos minutos. El problema con los grupos que lidian con violaciones es que intentan educar a las mujeres sobre cómo defenderse. Lo que realmente necesita hacerse es enseñar a los hombres a no violar. Ir al origen y empezar ahí.” Kurt Cobain on the lost of innocence: “I think my generation is the last generation that has enjoyed having innocence in the United States. When I was a kid, there TV shows weren’t so violent, and kids didn’t have access to restricted movies; I wasn’t aware of rapists, killers and things like that. But know 6 year old kids know about sex and realize there’s a lot of violence in the world because now there’s better media . And it’s sad to know that the next generations will be fucked because there’s no chance that they have innocence. And for a kid it is absolutely necessary to have a period of innocence in his life even if it’s for a few years.” Kurt Cobain sobre la pérdida de la inocencia: “Creo que mi generación es la última generación que ha disfrutado el tener inocencia en Estados Unidos. Cuando yo era chico, había programas televisivos que no eran muy violentos, y los chicos no tenían acceso a películas prohibidas; yo no tenía conciencia de que existían violadores, asesinos y cosas por el estilo. Pero ahora los chicos de 6 años saben sobre sexo y se dan cuenta de que hay mucha violencia en el mundo porque hay mejores comunicaciones. Es triste saber que las próximas generaciones van a ser cagadas porque no hay chance de que tengan inocencia. Y para un chico es absolutamente necesario que pueda tener un período de inocencia en su vida aunque sea por unos cuantos años.” If you are able to translate those messages to your language accurately (or improve an existing one) please post it as reply to this comment.

I first heard of this song during a journalism class in high school. I quickly went home and played this song to understand d why a band would make a song like this .... thank god for Nirvana. One of the most personally influential bands of my life
Not a day goes by that I don't miss Kurt and Nirvana. I can remember the day I learned he passed. I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. My daughter got me a In Utero t-shirt this Xmas. I cried....
I have never realized that Dave Grohl did the harmonization vocals at the end when they are both screaming. You can TOTALLY hear Foo Fighters coming out of his voice if you close your eyes.
@@christrinidad3360 it’s good. My totally butchered definition is that to be cathartic is to act out your inner struggles. This is theorised to help with processing troubling events
I remember as a kid my dad used to play nirvana in the car on a CD and i always wondered who they were and here I am in 2020 still listening to them. Definitely going to expose my future kid to it as well
I have seen depression closely in different people, some even laugh and smile, some never do, some others are just tired, still others are anxious. Any psychiatrist here to comment?
Depression is a lack of energy in one particular area of life but full on depression could be an accumulation and assortment of many areas combining into one giant depression. You could love video games for example but get depressed by school.
He was bipolar. As someone with bipolar let me tell you, the manic energy is harder to deal with than the depression. He probably had mixed episodes too (depressive thoughts with manic energy)
I suffer depression, severe social anxiety (my hands shake like crazy when going into public) and heroin addiction so from my POV, days can vary. One day I can find it hard just to get out of bed or to the front door and want to lock myself away from everyone. I'll go weeks without talking to anyone except my partner who I live with which everyone's gotten used to. I also have days where I feel I CAN face the world.. they're VERY rare but I can actually look people in the eye and return smiles and talk. Most days it's hard though so I take advantage of those days to the fullest
As an empathic soul I can't help but think he was one too.. I tried to 'get out' at 14 due to a lot of pain in my life. I'm now 43 and although I'm glad I am here and very grateful I have a grown son.. I can't help feeling he knew humanity was on the path of utter fuckedupness.
I have admired this man all my life. Just want to say, 🖤 My respect for this man has increased tremendously today after I hear out about a girl who has been through a lot lately.
My dad started to introduce me to nirvana as a little kid but it wasn't until around 2018 that I actually started listening to them...I am I survivor of sexual assault. It took my dad Years after it happened to introduce Me to this song...asked him why he didn't show me this song sooner and he was like " well you know...." and I said " dad this is such a bad ass song. It empowers me"

When I was a kid, there TV shows weren’t so violent, and kids didn’t have access to restricted movies; I wasn’t aware of rapists, killers and things like that. But know 6 year old kids know about sex and realize there’s a lot of violence in the world because now there’s better media . And it’s sad to know that the next generations will be fucked because there’s no chance that they have innocence. And for a kid it is absolutely necessary to have a period of innocence in his life even if it’s for a few years.”
Kurt Cobain sobre la pérdida de la inocencia: “Creo que mi generación es la última generación que ha disfrutado el tener inocencia en Estados Unidos. Cuando yo era chico, había programas televisivos que no eran muy violentos, y los chicos no tenían acceso a películas prohibidas; yo no tenía conciencia de que existían violadores, asesinos y cosas por el estilo. Pero ahora los chicos de 6 años saben sobre sexo y se dan cuenta de que hay mucha violencia en el mundo porque hay mejores comunicaciones. Es triste saber que las próximas generaciones van a ser cagadas porque no hay chance de que tengan inocencia. Y para un chico es absolutamente necesario que pueda tener un período de inocencia en su vida aunque sea por unos cuantos años.”

Its about his sexuality.
Pang's Labyrinth thought it was about the exploitation of his music from labels
@@gabrielhardman9998 Nice thinking. I'm sure partly true.:)
Pang's Labyrinth how
@@pangslabyrinth8368 nah
What a masterpiece. Still a huge fans of grunge here in Pahang, Malaysia.
Нирвана, Курт каждый раз свежо и классно , сквозь года
من موزیک زیاد گوش دادم ولی نیروانا با بقیه خیلی فرق میکنه خیلی جلوتره با یک گیتارو بیس ویک درامر یعنی شاهکار
Pat's and Dave's backing vocals at the end are perfect
Kurt was literally the most beautiful man to ever step foot on the planet.
Gone way too soon! ❤️
Jesus was this man.
Oh please. He was a very talented and very flawed man. "The most beautiful"?
When he says "I'm not the only one" that's part that gets to me the most. 🥺
Best Nirvana Song of time
I first heard of this song during a journalism class in high school. I quickly went home and played this song to understand d why a band would make a song like this .... thank god for Nirvana. One of the most personally influential bands of my life
2:14 my favorite part when Kurt and Dave screamed “rape me”
30 years later!! Not forgotten!! We lost a poet, a songwriter & an icon!!
I love this song dude
That people in that concert is lucky ;')
I went to mtv unplugged I'm lucky as hell
Little did they know...
Yea
'Cause they REALLY see Curt
Why I born at 2008
*Crying in silence*
Are lucky
As days go by, RUclips recommendation keeps getting better and better
Not a day goes by that I don't miss Kurt and Nirvana. I can remember the day I learned he passed. I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing. My daughter got me a In Utero t-shirt this Xmas. I cried....
Loved this
Nirvana Are :
1. Kurt Cobain
2. Krist Novoselic
3. Dave Grohl

Novan Ergana Do any of you guys want a cookie? Please feel free to comment anywere else than this channel, go watch some Daddy Yankee
Were is Chad lol
And lori goldson
the best band ever... nirvana forever
It never ends
I have never realized that Dave Grohl did the harmonization vocals at the end when they are both screaming. You can TOTALLY hear Foo Fighters coming out of his voice if you close your eyes.
As a woman I just want to say this is most cathartic song I've ever heard.
Is that a good thing or naw
Cathartic is the best word for it
@@christrinidad3360 it’s good. My totally butchered definition is that to be cathartic is to act out your inner struggles. This is theorised to help with processing troubling events
Pat Smear has the 90’s grunge guitarist stance so down its a glorious thing to watch
*SUPER MUSIC GENIUS! Many years have passed, and no one can make better music than them.*
Лесоповал
radiohead>nirvana
Crazy voice and sound is great
I remember as a kid my dad used to play nirvana in the car on a CD and i always wondered who they were and here I am in 2020 still listening to them. Definitely going to expose my future kid to it as well
The bass is too good 🥵🔥
Caposss graciasss
I love them to the core. They are my youth. My legacy. Forever Nirvana.
He had so much energy for a depressed person, makes me reconsider my whole perception of depression, seems like its a waste of time
Joe Ellis depression is different for different people I guess
I have seen depression closely in different people, some even laugh and smile, some never do, some others are just tired, still others are anxious. Any psychiatrist here to comment?
Depression is a lack of energy in one particular area of life but full on depression could be an accumulation and assortment of many areas combining into one giant depression. You could love video games for example but get depressed by school.
He was bipolar. As someone with bipolar let me tell you, the manic energy is harder to deal with than the depression. He probably had mixed episodes too (depressive thoughts with manic energy)
I suffer depression, severe social anxiety (my hands shake like crazy when going into public) and heroin addiction so from my POV, days can vary. One day I can find it hard just to get out of bed or to the front door and want to lock myself away from everyone. I'll go weeks without talking to anyone except my partner who I live with which everyone's gotten used to. I also have days where I feel I CAN face the world.. they're VERY rare but I can actually look people in the eye and return smiles and talk. Most days it's hard though so I take advantage of those days to the fullest
Such an amazing voice
Never had a better notification then this one for this video
I thank a friend that told me to listen to Nirvana and even gave me a playlist to listen even though we aren't friends anymore I appreciate that
As an empathic soul I can't help but think he was one too.. I tried to 'get out' at 14 due to a lot of pain in my life. I'm now 43 and although I'm glad I am here and very grateful I have a grown son.. I can't help feeling he knew humanity was on the path of utter fuckedupness.
I have admired this man all my life. Just want to say, 🖤 My respect for this man has increased tremendously today after I hear out about a girl who has been through a lot lately.
I love the [aaeöy]

This blessed my ears, thanks Nirvana
This man healed a whole generation
I love this.
My dad started to introduce me to nirvana as a little kid but it wasn't until around 2018 that I actually started listening to them...I am I survivor of sexual assault. It took my dad Years after it happened to introduce Me to this song...asked him why he didn't show me this song sooner and he was like " well you know...." and I said " dad this is such a bad ass song. It empowers me"
One of my all time favorite nirvana song is this one
I know this is my second nirvana song but lithium is awesome
this song gives me chills every time
