Therapist Analyzes Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

  • Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
  • Therapist uses Smells Like Teen Spirit to discuss the way that individuals use apathy as a coping mechanism. The stereotype of an apathetic individual is often a teenager, but many people use apathy to keep themselves safe. Apathy is often seen as strength, but the truth is that real strength comes from vulnerability. It is brave to be authentic, to care, to create. Apathy is often secure, but it comes at the cost of never reaching your potential.

    That's what I love about Grunge. It washed away all the 80's hair/glam bands and was truly honest and always expressing what it felt. It was never concerned with appearances or facades. And it always made you feel what it felt. A legendary Grunge song/video that helped blast Grunge across the globe. Love your analysis- All that goes right over my head unless it's literal symbolism-lol.

  • @harperlewis1526

    You do a great job of not interrupting the flow of the music, prepping ahead with the lyrics, and get right to the point of what you think the song means. And then applying it to life, not just a head exercise. Even if you don't nail it "exactly" I like your commitment to the position and the passion to help people make the positive changes. Really enjoyed your SOAD reactions. You're bound to find the Tool rabbit hole sooner or later, and your subs will skyrocket, as well as your views. Plus, your time commitment will also increase as well.

    You nailed it . I completely understood it when it came out. Because the social pressures in high school, And the snobs that played head games and beat you down emotionally Created trust issues. Even someone you made friends with would make hurtful mistakes because we were young and immature.You put up emotional walls and mentally wear a mask. You do make friends but it takes a lot of time. Only after high school was I able to field normal. In my school it affected everyone. Even the ones you would say were good looking. This song came out right after I graduated, and it fit for perfect for the times

  • @matiasfernandez1024
    @matiasfernandez1024 6 месяцев назад +4

    Interesting to see how you elaborate on things that probably even Kurt Cobain himself couldn't or even wanted to.
    This has been quoted from an article: quote ''My lyrics are total cut-up,'' Cobain maintained, referring to Beat poet William S. Burroughs' famous writing method. ''I take lines from different poems that I've written. I build on a theme if I can, but sometimes I can't even come up with an idea of what the song is about.'' endquote
    He had an incredible ear for melodies tho, and it's not unlikely that he just inserted lyrics here and there because they made sense in a "collage" sort of way.

Know, about the line "With the lights out, it's less dangerous" there's a song from a brazilian rock artist named Pitty, and she says pretty much what you've said about the darkness. There's a line that goes like this: "When is dark and no one sees me, when is dark I see better". Anyway, she's a great artist and the song is "No Escuro" in english it means "In The Dark. Again, amazing reaction and lyric break down. Cheers from a brazilian here. ♥♥♥

REM, whose lead singer was friends with Cobain and was a late boomer said in the song "What's the Frequency Kenneth" "Withdrawal in disgust is the not the same as apathy". This song is about a person from one generation trying to understand the younger generation by studying all their culture.

    This was literally an Anthem for a generation of us who was sick of the 80's glam and hair bands the "Greed is good" Era of the Yuppie and being given new and improved doses of capitalism. An Era where the Rich and Famous was on every channel we were shown the filthy rich and shoved in our faces was "You are not as good as them cause you are not Rich". Kurt was that voice for this generation he just neve wanted to be it was too big for him. Not a day goes by I do not miss Kurt and Nirvana.

    Listen to it backwards. He says things like "I'm scared of Satan you see. His house is where you'll find him." And "why do you hate me so much?! What do you want from me?!" And the " hello hello hello part backwards says. " Oh God why. Hi how are you. Hi how are you." Almost all of the songs on this album were rewritten by Kurt last minute to incorporate backwards lyrics. The first clue this was intentional was when Kurt screamed "Robert Taylor!" At the end of his first mtv show. Robert Taylor was the drummer of queens. One of the first bands to shine light on backwards lyrics. Their song "another one bites the dust " reversed says "Smoke marijuana." For those who didn't know. Chillax. Kurt backwards songs are good too. This one and something in the way are particularly nice sounding reversed.

      So you’d really like to think of Nirvana as a brainless entity with no meaningful and/or emotional lyrical input? They just luckily put together music and lyrics by simply banging a drum, strumming a guitar, plucking a base, and putting some words together that rhyme. So, you can guarantee that Nirvana had no idea, ooops 10% of an idea, to put meaning to the lyrical portion of their songs? Imagine the audacity of a licensed clinical therapist breaking down some song lyrics based on an unbiased perspective. That’s crazy man, let’s listen to the critique of someone that did 3 ludes and a bottle of JD before they jumped in the mosh pit.
