I'm 38 myself and I work at an elementary school, it's amazing to see kids there wearing Nirvana shirts and actually knowing stuff about the band not just wearing it as some cool, ironic thing
Listen to The Man Who Sold The World or Where Did You Sleep Last Night by Nirvana- Unplugged concert. Amazing concert. You'll see what he's like and really raw vocals.
Great album "Nevermind." I still have my CD lol My senior year in college I am happy to say I turned my friends into fans back in 1991 when they were still quite new...they became HUGE the following year.
@@kierstenridgway4634 true true. Some of the indie stuff may seem to have no clear story. You’d have to research to see what the lyrics may mean. Or don’t research and give it your own meaning. Lots like abstract art.
I recall a house party with a bunch of friends jamming (playing records) to industrial music such as Ministry, Nitzerebb, FRONT 242 etc and someone showed up with this Nirvana vinyl. We were blown. We obviously think Ministry kicks butt but it wasn't hard to see that Nirvana was bringing in a new sound replacing those rock hair bands. @JustinceServ On the cool, react to Ministry "Thieves" (year 1989) and you'll hear a good example of industrial and it has a "bounce" feeling.
Iconic. A song I can listen to over & over. Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters is the drummer. Then last year Dave as frontman for the Foo Fighters lost him drummer Taylor Hawkins. Check out Foo Fighters "Pretender" video. Rest in Peace Kurt
And after that check out The Warning's cover of The Pretender. The opened for the Foo Fighters concert in Mexico City, one week before Taylor Hawkins' death.
Iconic grunge from back in the day. 1991 :) Kurt Cobain was depressed and in interviews band members had said he was freaked out about becoming such a huge band and yes he was depressed and there was no warning when he died by suicide....many theories are out there that his wife murdered him. It's never been proven though if that was even a thought by police, I saw crime scene pics which are no longer on the internet and it looked pretty real to me.... Same way people think Chester was murdered but Chester was open about his depression his whole career as you can hear it in the lyrics of the songs. Check out Nirvana Come As You Are.
You HAVE TOO react to "Weird Al" Yankovic's parody of this song. It explains the lyrics. He's a legend. It's a masterpiece. The song is "Smells like Nirvana"
The soft then loud dynamic is something they used in many of their songs. I would recommend watching some of their live performances as well. (aside: people often reference Dave Grohl when filling people in about the band; but, though he isn't as relevant nowadays, I like to at least acknowledge the oft overlooked bassist Krist Novoselic)
His death wasn't unexpected, he wrote a song called "I Hate Myself and Want To Die". Some people laughed it off at the time, some of us knew it was a threat.
I still remember (almost to the second) the what, where, etc of my 1st listen. Was almost late for work. Sunday, Jan 5, 1992, Casey Kasem’s Top 40 pulling into work.
The thing on the dudes head at the end is called a dunce cap. Back in the day if you fucked up in school they would make you sit in the corner and wear one.
Nirvana was the last great rock band to come out of the underground and Kurt was the last great rock star. Also, he didn't kill himself, watch "Soaked in Bleach" Rest in peace. #Justiceforkurt
When Kurt died, for the generation after me, it was like our John Lennon from the Beatles getting shot & killed, & my Son when Juice World died. Just total shock, sadness
Was it a real big thing? lol! Yeah, beyond big. I was in my early twenties when this came out. I became grunge overnight. You’ll have to read the comments from those younger than me to get the real story of the impact of this song. It hit the teenagers hard.
Nirvana was heavily influenced by punk rock and new wave. Good shit. This was their first hugely successful album their other two most popular would be In Utero and Unplugged. IMHO if you want a real feel for the band you want to go to some deeper cuts: Sappy (Laundry Room), Sliver, Molly’s Lips, Floyd The Barber, and Territorial Pissings. If you can find a recording of Verse-Chorus-Verse it’s a really deep but hard to find because it never got released on an album. To make things harder Sappy is often mislabeled as VCV
Am I the only dipshit GenXer who recorded the "Hello, hello, hello..." part to use as a greeting on my answering machine? My mother didn't find it as funny as I did, lol!
Grunge was a subgenre of alternative. The typical "grunge" song was driven by heavy instrument distortion and angst-filled lyrics that a lot of us young folks were drawn to. As I've posted before, to completely understand the impact grunge had on Gen X, you have to understand the prior decade, the 80's. Most of us had parents who were busy climbing up the corporate ladder or we had one parent struggling to make ends meet! Either way we were alone a lot. The music was horrible in my opinion, a lot of one-hit wonders, pop princesses, and dudes in bright spandex, eyeliner and big, over-processed hair. The lyrics were empty and my friends and I couldn't relate to them. When grunge made it's way to the midwest, most of us became grunge. It became a "look" and we were all the way in! Finally, there were lyrics that spoke to us! A group of young midwest GenX misfits finally found their place. It's sad that most of the "grunge" OGs are gone! I miss that era the most! It was a magical time to be young! Andrew Wood - RIP Kurt Cobain - RIP Layne Staley - RIP Chris Cornell - RIP Scott Weiland - RIP I have to mention Chester-RIP - he came later but he spoke to my soul! I hope Heaven has a stage and off to the right, a pit!!

You don't question Nirvana lyrics...you just vibe 😂😂🎉
Polly, tho'.....
Insanity and genius go hand in hand.
Welcome to a moment in music where it changed. Nirvana was one of the groups that’s brought an entire new genre of music to the table. RIP Kurt!
My Generation (58ish) & all those following through to my kids 31, 27, 23 know every lyric by heart
I'm 38 myself and I work at an elementary school, it's amazing to see kids there wearing Nirvana shirts and actually knowing stuff about the band not just wearing it as some cool, ironic thing
Same, my kids 37, 35, 27... we did something right.
48 yrs old now. GenX.
My kids are late teens, early 20s.
Yep! I’m 60 and know every word!
Same here, but I'm only almost 14.
The drummer, Dave Grohl, is now the lead singer of the Foo Fighters.
The introduction to 90s grunge. So glad I was in my early 20s for this time in music!
Listen to The Man Who Sold The World or Where Did You Sleep Last Night by Nirvana- Unplugged concert. Amazing concert. You'll see what he's like and really raw vocals.

My senior year in college I am happy to say I turned my friends into fans back in 1991 when they were still quite new...they became HUGE the following year.
i had first issue lp and cd and sold it to cash converters when i was studying for cash, cry now. Have got them back but not the same ones.
The thing about a lot of the indie 90s music, it was left to personal interpretation.
I think that's pretty much the thing with music.

I can't hear this without seeing Weird Al Yankoviks version. It was too good.
Great reaction!
His death wasn't unexpected, he wrote a song called "I Hate Myself and Want To Die". Some people laughed it off at the time, some of us knew it was a threat.
Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington ... It takes pain to be that good at what they do.
I remember exactly where I was when chris and Chester passed still hurts 😢
I still remember (almost to the second) the what, where, etc of my 1st listen. Was almost late for work. Sunday, Jan 5, 1992, Casey Kasem’s Top 40 pulling into work.
Very much a brand of "stream-of-consciousness" poetry
Loves this they woore amazing 😂❤
The thing on the dudes head at the end is called a dunce cap. Back in the day if you fucked up in school they would make you sit in the corner and wear one.
At very least , see them do “Comfortably Numb” from the Pulse Concert. Great song. Amazing light and stage show. You might cry it’s soo dag good.
Nirvana was the last great rock band to come out of the underground and Kurt was the last great rock star. Also, he didn't kill himself, watch "Soaked in Bleach" Rest in peace. #Justiceforkurt
That documentary was pretty fascinating, I must say.
This was the song of the ‘90’s!
"a denial" always sounded to me personally more like "I can't die old"
😮 woah!! I'll never hear it the same
I'm alot older than you, and I remember when this song came out. I was in college, and friends with a guy named "Animal", LOL!
Grunge rock!
This band brought a whole new sub genre of music In the early 90s watch there mtv unplugged performance it's different from this but still awesome.
When Kurt died, for the generation after me, it was like our John Lennon from the Beatles getting shot & killed, & my Son when Juice World died. Just total shock, sadness
Many rappers respect Nirvana.
90th i remember when it came out.
Dave Growl on the skins...which you probably know as the front man for the Foo Fighters
Drummer is Dave Grohl who went on to form the Foo Fighters.
"Hello hello hello how low" are the lyrics
Bro this record went out in 91
You muito see MTV live soou amazing
bro u gotta react to aneurysm live 1991 great reaction
Ooh year 😂❤
Hey Justice try Queens of the Stone Age song , Song for the Dead with Dave on the kit, live performance. ☮️💜🤘🔥🥁
I'll be the one to say it. Now that you've done this you need to check out Weird Al's Parody called "Smells Like Nirvana".
Check out Pearl Jam Evenflow- it was recorded live and is more grunge for your enjoyment
Carti is also kind of influended by nirvana
Was it a real big thing? lol! Yeah, beyond big. I was in my early twenties when this came out. I became grunge overnight. You’ll have to read the comments from those younger than me to get the real story of the impact of this song. It hit the teenagers hard.
I did read them and I see what you mean 😭
Try Outshined or anything by Soundgarden
Nirvana was heavily influenced by punk rock and new wave.
Good shit. This was their first hugely successful album their other two most popular would be In Utero and Unplugged.
IMHO if you want a real feel for the band you want to go to some deeper cuts:

Subscribe Like & Comment!! I think the commenting helps too?
You might be interested to know what happened to that drummer after Kurt’s tragic end. Look into it.
You got to do zombie by the cranberries
How low is the end hello from the start of the song....captions get it wrong.
Liked and Subscribed my bro…you gotta stop playing the Naruto music for the outro tho 😂 It’s 💶 for the intro tho

Dave Grohl was their drummer.
Do massive attack angel
And Layne Staley killed himself.another genius you should check out. Love Hate Love to start
Do you even know what the 90's where. I feel nothing but dread for the future.
Teen Spirit was a deodorant for teens hence the title ,"Smells Like Teen Spirit'
Am I the only dipshit GenXer who recorded the "Hello, hello, hello..." part to use as a greeting on my answering machine? My mother didn't find it as funny as I did, lol!
Yeah, it was bad when he sad. Depressing like when Cris Cornell, Chester Bennington, and Layne Stanley died. Great singers. All depressed
I think it was from that dreary Seattle weather .

Andrew Wood - RIP

Layne Staley - RIP
Chris Cornell - RIP
Scott Weiland - RIP
I have to mention Chester-RIP - he came later but he spoke to my soul! I hope Heaven has a stage and off to the right, a pit!!
yes indeed, the 90s...1991....Kurt died in 1994. Questionable suicide
I like Nirvana but riff is a rip off from Boston's "More Than a Feeling."
It's not a rip off, that's how chord progressions work.
