Most over rated band ever. Every song was the same.. mumble the lyrics softly then scream out the chorus. Every single song. Some how teenagers translates that into being angry and deep.
As he said "sorry I'm not cultured":) they knows black music from the 90s as they should.. Still they wanna know more, they appreciate it, enjoy it... Can't really say the same about uncultured white Americans, how much do they wanna know about black music?
The day this dropped on MTV, it changed music forever.... Nirvana killed mainstream Heavy Metal and gave birth to grunge/punk mainstream. Literally shook our world in high school.
I'm Gen X (born late 70s). This was our teen music. I remember seeing Nirvana in the PNW sometime in '91-ish. Several other Seattle bands were on the bill. Every one of them great performers and accessible to their music fans. What a time to be young!
I was born in 97 and still consider this “my generation’s music”. Discovered Nirvana and RHCP when I was 13 and never looked back. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mad Season, Temple of the Dog, Garbage, REM etc are all very close to my heart. I’ll be raising my kids with this music and making sure it lives on ❤
Three minutes of Nirvana and already inspired to start a band, that's awesome. Kurt wanted to inspire people to get into punk rock ethics, start bands, and grow up to destroy this corrupt system.
nirvana made me and my friends start a band when we where 14 or 15, we sucked, but had a ton of fun, and two of us indeed became pretty good musicians..
Shout out to the dude in the gray hoodie in the back who actually knew who Kurt Cobain and Nirvana were.. props to you for listening to all kinds of music.
You dont know how people lost their minds when this came out in the 90s. It was unlike anything people really knew about. Pixies had this soft to hard to soft music style but nirvana just took it next level imo
I am a 50 year old white woman from South Carolina and you guys make my day. I get up every morning just to see what y'all are up too. Keep doing what you do!!
In the early 90s, four bands emerged from the obscure Seattle underground, and took the world by storm. They were: Nirvana Alice in Chains Soundgarden Pearl Jam Collectively, they were known as "Grunge Music." Please check all four of these bands out. Every one of them, shook the world to it's very knees.
Watching rap/hip hop fans reacting to rock for the first time is just as fun as watching metal heads reacting to rap for the first time Everyone always finds something to appreciate and respect Much love, subscribing
If we could only apply this to everyone in life. If we could all just learn to listen to each other...just stop, and listen. Really listening is an act of love ❤...
I love how Brandon says, "When he killed himself..then corrects and says, When they found him dead"... TRUTH Brandon, there has always been an issue with how he died- And he is right with wanting them to know who Motley Crew is! Great rock there, as well!! Good videos,guys!
Fun facts about the video : Two days before the shoot, the band handed out flyers asking fans to appear in the video, while the LA radio station KXLU also made an on-air announcement call-out for extras. The band’s flyer read: “Nirvana needs YOU… You should be 18 to 25 years old and adopt a high-school persona, ie preppy, punk, nerd, jock. The cheerleaders were girls recruited from local strip clubs.
crazy fact. my brother was 18 at the time of this snd he was gonna go. was signed up and everything but the day of shooting he couldn't get a ride. lol years later he ran into kurt cobain during his between albums when kurt lived in LA for he was walking into a liquor store and kurt was walking out with a lil bag. during his purple hair era. he stayed in an apartment nearby.
Being an original old-school Nirvana fan, and them being my favorite band, I enjoyed seeing the younger generation becoming keen to such sick music!! I also loved how the one dude knew a bit about Kurt, and Nirvana! I'll definitely watch more here if you do more Nirvana, and you should do some of their live videos too. Korn, System of a Down, and Slipknot are a few phenomenal bands, if you haven't already checked them out, you should!! It will be worth it! If you need song suggestions from any of these bands, let me know. Take care.
That is also why I subscribed just now, the same reasons! Their music has inspired me over the decades and has seeped into my music a bit here and there, I even added bass and drums (played by me with real instruments) to an unreleased Nirvana song - it is on my YT channel. (The song is called "What more can I say?" ----->> ruclips.net/video/OZpvNaqfSzw/видео.html It has Kurt's vocals and guitar. It was added into an album Nirvana released in an alternate reality in the 2000s here on YT too! lol But they messed up the EQ and it sounds better on my upload. I plan to re-record the drums at the very least soonish as I am not happy with them these days, I am far better at drumming now than back then! I think my bass playing is still okay in this song though.
@@Defensive_Wounds Very cool!! Yes, I'll definitely check out your link later!! I'll add it to my tonight's playlist. They've been super important in my life since I was a preteen, and they still stand as the best today, to me and SO many others!! They definitely, along with a couple other bands throughout the years, kept me breathing during many of my darkest days!! I love seeing how they've as a band, and as individuals, influenced others then, and now. The ones that hit your heart super deep, they always stay with you!!
Them: This is old-school Me: cries in middle-aged This came out when I was about 13 and, outside of the Seattle music scene, was most people’s introduction to grunge music. It’s the genre which pretty much defined my high school years. We didn’t know what hit us because it was so different. Check out the drummer, Dave Grohl’s band Foo Fighters. “The Pretender” is a good one to start with.
I enjoy the young man in the middle. He seems like he truly listens to the music to understand it. I feel like he has a deep soul and would be a great person to have a deep conversation with. I wish great things for you.
Guy in the Grenada shirt, when told he's about to break his neck rocking out, says "this is how the song makes me feel". You get it my friend! You get it!
Lived in Seattle in 1980 and 90s. It was an incredible music scene with so many talented musicians forming bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and so many others. Could see the bands for $6 and it made it fun going from band to band in one night. You got to see these beautiful men walking around the city during the day. Crazy time and loved it.
@@jsusushs1933 Nirvana and especially Cobain is mentioned all over hip hop. There's a rapper that named himself Black Cobain. Another producer named himself Cash Cobain.
This one song completely changed the landscape of music when it came out. It simultaneously killed the hair metal genre of the 80's and kickstarted the grunge genre of the 90's. One band, one song, changed the world. Then they followed it up with several more, and their MTV Unplugged concert is one of the best of all time.
Kurt came from nothing and changed everything. Love the guy in the middle bringing the Nirvana lessons. "Our little group has always been and always will until the end..."
I was at a HS weekend party in 1991. Nirvanas “ In Bloom” was playing on the radio. The room fell silent. We all bobbed our heads and tapped our feet. At the end of the song. One guy stands up and said.”Holy shit!” It was magical. A few weeks later. Everyone was wearing flannel and gone were the neon color shirts and 80s hair band hair. The music spoke to us kids who had boomer parents who gave us the keys to the house and were at work all of time. We hated our parents and would rebelled in anger..
Man, you guys are making me feel old as hell. I was 14 when this came out. I originally hated it because I was listening to rap at the time, but Nirvana has been my favorite band since 92 and the reason why I'm a musician.
Came here for Nirvana, never seen you guys before, but props to you all for embracing and appreciating quality music even if its outside your comfort zone. Mad respect to the guy at the back who knew about Kurt and Nirvana and seemed to have genuine admiration showing himself to be a broadminded, cultured individual. I wish you all every success with your channel, and i am def going to check out more of your vids.
Yep Dave Grohl is great. Foo fighters were amazing but a bit more radio friendly kinda music, never quite hit like Nirvana did. But ya, dope in their own right
@@ATrainInfinite well said. Foo fighters were a little more polished, and it was socially acceptable to be fans of theirs without being considered grunge.
This song and video changed the world and my life. It instantly made all the hair bands look stupid and shifted the course of rock and roll. I will never forget it! My music buddies and I all bought instruments and made a band all because of this song. It was an awesome part of my life.
YES!! Finally some grunge for the GenXers!! This song and grunge saved rock and roll! Grunge was a sub-genre 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!!
The thing is, music that you would have related to had been available the entire time. Grunge really just marked the time when it was presented in a way that it could be profitable. There were plenty of 'misfit kids' in the 80s listening to Husker Du, Sonic Youth, the Melvins, etc. REM had had 80s success but was more of a jangle pop band than a rock band. Kurt was influenced by these bands but also the Beatles. When he put the two influenced together it exploded. I bet that dude in the back who said he couldn't relate with the Beatles would groove hard on some later harder stuff like Revolution and Helter Skelter. It really isn't far to go from songs like those and Smells like Teen Spirit. Kurt was even self-conscious that Teen Spirit sounded like a punk version of More than a Feeling by Boston and no one was ever more arena rock than Boston was.
MzLuna Blu, thanks for putting Chester in there. Man was beautiful! It's such a shame seeing those names, knowing what music lost when their voices were silenced. RIP.
Once again loving the CartierFamily! Also a huuuuuuge fan of Nirvana, can’t wait to watch all they videos! Don’t see a lot of us blacks liking Nirvana and Linkin Park.
I remember the first time I ever saw this video..I was FIVE. I knew even at that age, that I was watching something spectacular. Nirvana is still one of my fav bands. Checkout “Zombie” by the Cranberries or some Alice In Chains “Would?”, “Man In A Box”, “Rooster”, and much more!
Alice in Chains and Cranberries, most definitely!!! Along with Pearl Jam, Linkin Park, Korn, Metallica, P.O.D., Papa Roach, etc... and this list can just go on and on, seriously......
😂 this was fun to watch and as huge grunge guy it made me smile lol I remember my first time hearing this song back in the early 90s and every group of friends has one friend that knows what you don’t and educates you lol mad respect to the one friend
Y'all are so adorable! I was born in 1957, so I'm ancient, but I did get to live through the dawn of rock n' roll. I get so much joy from watching your reaction videos. You remind me of some of the high school students I used to teach (or try to) back in the day. Much appreciation for you and what you 💛 ✨ 💓 ❤
Hey saxophone was rock in the 70s and 80s - whatever you pick up, learning an instrument will definitely change your life and the way you think. They've shown it rewires the brain in a lot of positive ways, so start a band and just have fun with it - you guys have one huge journey ahead of you with rock, and I can't wait to witness it, this is the stuff that made me who I am, from The Doors to Nirvana and Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Led Zeppelin and a thousand more, like every bit of guitar from 1965 - 2000 (I was listening to my father's old record albums as a kid, and was 3 when MTV went on the air). This song was the Summer before 9th grade for me, and Grunge music like this shaped all of high school for us - yeah the dude on the cover IS 30, and a little freaked out by the whole thing lmao Poor guy has the most famous naked baby picture in history
Check out these boys watching the Foos for the first time - the pretender video. One helluva reaction. They didn’t put it together until the comments. I highly recommend it.
First time I found out the drummer, David Grohl, ended up making his own band, The Foo Fighters, after Nirvana was no more.. still one of my favorite music facts.
it's 91, so he's not far off. But it is still interesting right? It's so early in the decade, but it's still so defining of the entire decade. So different from the 80s and so definitive of the 90s
Thats an oversimplification and factually untrue. While there is no doubt Nirvana and the grunge movement helped surplant hair metal it was not the only factor and it certainly wasn't overnight. Nevermind was released in September of 1991. On March 31st, 1992 Def Leppard released Adrenalize. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts and stayed there for 5 weeks and spent 65 weeks on the chart. Poison had hit records in 1991-1993, Bon Jovi in 1992 and bands/singers like Aerosmith, Kiss, Alice Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne adopted hair metal styles and lasted well into the 90s. While grunge helped and Nirvana launched grunge it was only one factor in the changing of the guard in music.
Again, so fun to see you guys. Grunge rock!!!! I was in my early 30's back then. It's fun hearing these classic hits with you guys. Yes!!! I'm old. You are so entertaining 🤣 😂 I do love you exploring other genre's and eras of music. There's so much in this world.
I’m a half black cuban/Jamaican straight outta HIGH SCHOOL And i only started playing electric guitar cuz of Cobain and way okder music from the 1970s also… and for sure it makes no sense to me for anybody to not have heard of N I R V A N A so proud of dude in the middle spreading the culture bruv. Great Music should be exposed to everyone!!!
HOLY SHIT I NEARLY DIED WHEN U SAID ABOUT THE WHITE LIGHTER 🤣 I was born in England in 84 and I remember hearing that story in the 90s. Im so glad you had your man there to help you…please try and explore music pre 2010. Even saying that makes me feel depressed 🙃
You earned a "subscribe"from me. I love y'all's energy. Good music surpasses spoken language, that ish is universal love, if it moves you and makes you feel some type of way it's FOR YOU! I'm a 41 year old white boy and when I'm in my Lexus on the highway and I put on some Detroit rap like Dame I got the strap in the seat right next to me hard eyeballin' everyone!
I moved to Seattle from Portland in spring of 1990 and I bought a lot of cds from stuff I heard on MTV and underground radio up there. One time the guy running the record store gave me a cassette tape of a local band and told me to listen to it a few times and let it grow in me. He said it’s a band called Nirvana. It was the album Bleach and it stayed in my cassette player for two months solid. I coulmd get enough if it
Nirvana has a litany of videos you should check out, but make sure you also check out their version of a David Bowie song, "The Man Who Sold the World", on MTV unplugged. Freaking amazing!!!
Lawd I could sooo put yall on to some music and artists that will take your mind to another level and never want to return 🙂 I'm glad yall are experiencing these classics
There's A LOT of music you don't know. Props to middle dude. Kurt Cobain pretty much started the grunge/alternative Era in the 90's. He didn't like being famous, he just wanted to play music.
In 1991 Nirvana finally gave Generation X rockers their own sound and defining soundtrack. The media labelled the Music Grunge. Its funny that I found you guys learning about rock while I was searching to learn about rap and hip hop. Enjoy your journey (Aerosmith and Run DMC Walk this Way maybe?) I'm off to learn about some guy named Tu Pac.... ps the Beatles are still relevant and amazing or why Michael Jackson bought their catalogue?
I grew up in the 90's, Nirvana blew up when I was in elementary school and they got heavy play on Mtv back when they were still playing videos. Nirvana is legendary, and their drummer has a spinoff band, Foo Fighters y'all should react to. Both catalogs are deep!
Makes me smile watching y’all feeding your heads with new to you music. I was 16 when he was shot. Miss his genuineness. Have a good one be safe and be easy.
Hey brothers, I have a request can you react to Bob Marley and the wailers. The new generation needs to hear good reggae music. Always I feel good listening to music with y'all 😊 thanks
Shout out to my dude in the middle, educating these guys on Kurt and the bands influence. Awesome reaction!

One guy stands up and said.”Holy shit!” It was magical. A few weeks later. Everyone was wearing flannel and gone were the neon color shirts and 80s hair band hair. The music spoke to us kids who had boomer parents who gave us the keys to the house and were at work all of time. We hated our parents and would rebelled in anger..
Man, you guys are making me feel old as hell. I was 14 when this came out. I originally hated it because I was listening to rap at the time, but Nirvana has been my favorite band since 92 and the reason why I'm a musician.
Came here for Nirvana, never seen you guys before, but props to you all for embracing and appreciating quality music even if its outside your comfort zone. Mad respect to the guy at the back who knew about Kurt and Nirvana and seemed to have genuine admiration showing himself to be a broadminded, cultured individual. I wish you all every success with your channel, and i am def going to check out more of your vids.
The drummer for this band Dave has a massive band of his own. Spectacular guitarist
Yep Dave Grohl is great. Foo fighters were amazing but a bit more radio friendly kinda music, never quite hit like Nirvana did. But ya, dope in their own right
Also drummer
@@ATrainInfinite well said. Foo fighters were a little more polished, and it was socially acceptable to be fans of theirs without being considered grunge.
Fcuk yeah, The Foo Fighters! Got listen to them eventually. Learn to Fly is a vibe
Fun fact: the baby on that cover grew up and sued the band for emotional trauma because his wang is on display in perpetuity lol
This guy on the back dictates so much respect by simply being respectful himself. That's a huge lesson to so many people...
There are people who don't know who Nirvana is? Holy shit...
I was working in a restaurant with some older folks when he died. None of them had ever heard of Nirvana or Kurt.
@@twatts1523I met people like that too , how do we call those people ? It’s hard for me to find a adjective for them

This song and video changed the world and my life. It instantly made all the hair bands look stupid and shifted the course of rock and roll. I will never forget it! My music buddies and I all bought instruments and made a band all because of this song. It was an awesome part of my life.
"We should totally make a rock band" greatness 🙌
That's usually how it starts 😂❤
It makes me happy to see that ppl are still discovering Nirvana and loving it!!
YES!! Finally some grunge for the GenXers!! This song and grunge saved rock and roll! Grunge was a sub-genre 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!!
Well said!! 👏🏻
THIS!!!
The thing is, music that you would have related to had been available the entire time. Grunge really just marked the time when it was presented in a way that it could be profitable. There were plenty of 'misfit kids' in the 80s listening to Husker Du, Sonic Youth, the Melvins, etc. REM had had 80s success but was more of a jangle pop band than a rock band. Kurt was influenced by these bands but also the Beatles. When he put the two influenced together it exploded. I bet that dude in the back who said he couldn't relate with the Beatles would groove hard on some later harder stuff like Revolution and Helter Skelter. It really isn't far to go from songs like those and Smells like Teen Spirit. Kurt was even self-conscious that Teen Spirit sounded like a punk version of More than a Feeling by Boston and no one was ever more arena rock than Boston was.
Well said nirvana saved rock. PanterA saved heavy metal
MzLuna Blu, thanks for putting Chester in there. Man was beautiful!
It's such a shame seeing those names, knowing what music lost when their voices were silenced. RIP.
I became a full on grunge girl after I heard Nirvana the first time. They changed so many of us. Thank you for this!
We listen to this in the van in the early 90’s on cassette tape. It cranked and fired us up for our college soccer games my guys! FIRE!
Watching you guys enjoy that made me truly smile. One of the top 5 most important songs all time. 🤟🏼
This is my era, I was in highschool when grunge was everything!
Thank you guys for venturing out
You won’t be sorry!
Favorite band of all time?
lmfao the guy in the back getting pissed his friends don’t know who kurt is is literally me 😂
Once again loving the CartierFamily! Also a huuuuuuge fan of Nirvana, can’t wait to watch all they videos! Don’t see a lot of us blacks liking Nirvana and Linkin Park.
Love the guy in the backs knowledge about these older bands. Great job man in the back
Ah, the music of my youth. Nevermind came out when I was 17 and changed my life.
same man and it sucks that he did him self in like that
Sophomore in high school. The freedom of a drivers license and Nevermind in my tape deck. Good times.
I would LOVE to see you guys delve into rock. Your subs would go through the roof. SOO fun to watch ya’ll!! You don’t know who Motley Crue is?? 😂
Dude sitting in the back really knows his sh**! Much respect!
Raised in WA, lived about 10 mins from his house- his music was and still is a massive part of my life
You three made me smile so much watching Nirvana, glad you liked them, big love from UK !!!!! xx
I remember the first time I ever saw this video..I was FIVE. I knew even at that age, that I was watching something spectacular. Nirvana is still one of my fav bands. Checkout “Zombie” by the Cranberries or some Alice In Chains “Would?”, “Man In A Box”, “Rooster”, and much more!
When Dolores referenced Kurt in one of her songs it made me choke the first time I heard it..
Alice in Chains and Cranberries, most definitely!!! Along with Pearl Jam, Linkin Park, Korn, Metallica, P.O.D., Papa Roach, etc... and this list can just go on and on, seriously......
AIC live at The Moore, "Love Hate Love"
Guys, the Beatles are timeless. Give them a chance-they started it all.
They created Pop 🥰
One of Kurt’s biggest influences was the Beatles
@@korrinebennell9938 a blessing and a curse
Never liked them but i think im introduced in a bad way to them so can you recommend some songs?
@@amiralinikakhtar4766 While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Come Together, Hey Jude
I vibe with bro at the back so hard 😂 like hanging out with my younger mates “how TF you don’t know who ..... is?!”
😂 this was fun to watch and as huge grunge guy it made me smile lol I remember my first time hearing this song back in the early 90s and every group of friends has one friend that knows what you don’t and educates you lol mad respect to the one friend
Y'all are so adorable! I was born in 1957, so I'm ancient, but I did get to live through the dawn of rock n' roll. I get so much joy from watching your reaction videos. You remind me of some of the high school students I used to teach (or try to) back in the day. Much appreciation for you and what you 💛 ✨ 💓 ❤
Hey saxophone was rock in the 70s and 80s - whatever you pick up, learning an instrument will definitely change your life and the way you think. They've shown it rewires the brain in a lot of positive ways, so start a band and just have fun with it - you guys have one huge journey ahead of you with rock, and I can't wait to witness it, this is the stuff that made me who I am, from The Doors to Nirvana and Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Led Zeppelin and a thousand more, like every bit of guitar from 1965 - 2000 (I was listening to my father's old record albums as a kid, and was 3 when MTV went on the air). This song was the Summer before 9th grade for me, and Grunge music like this shaped all of high school for us - yeah the dude on the cover IS 30, and a little freaked out by the whole thing lmao
Poor guy has the most famous naked baby picture in history
The drummer, Dave Grohl, formed the Foo Fighters after Kurt Cobain’s death. He is the lead singer and also plays guitar. They go hard.
YESSSSS LOVE FF
Check out these boys watching the Foos for the first time - the pretender video. One helluva reaction. They didn’t put it together until the comments. I highly recommend it.
The drummer then became the lead of Foo Fighters.
Plus check out Children Of The Korn ft Ice Cube Enjoy🤘
I so love watching you guys open-mindedly digging into rock music I listen to every genre. But I love how you guys enjoy The Rock music.
This song revolutionised metal and in an instant ended hair metal.
Nobody heard anything like this before these guys!
First time I found out the drummer, David Grohl, ended up making his own band, The Foo Fighters, after Nirvana was no more.. still one of my favorite music facts.
Don't knock the age of music guys there are awesome bands from 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s
I'm convinced dude in the dodgers jersey lived under a rock
1:57 that was the most sincere “I apologize for being uncultured” 😂 I spit out my drink hahaha you guys are hilarious
It’s NOT the 80s. It’s the 90s. Nice to see Kurt put smiles on your faces. REAL LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
it's 91, so he's not far off. But it is still interesting right? It's so early in the decade, but it's still so defining of the entire decade. So different from the 80s and so definitive of the 90s
Literally broke the metal scene. Overnight, once this album was released big hair metal was dead and grunge was king.
It rocks hard as metal but means it… raw yet melodic
u high as fuck
Thats an oversimplification and factually untrue. While there is no doubt Nirvana and the grunge movement helped surplant hair metal it was not the only factor and it certainly wasn't overnight. Nevermind was released in September of 1991. On March 31st, 1992 Def Leppard released Adrenalize. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts and stayed there for 5 weeks and spent 65 weeks on the chart. Poison had hit records in 1991-1993, Bon Jovi in 1992 and bands/singers like Aerosmith, Kiss, Alice Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne adopted hair metal styles and lasted well into the 90s. While grunge helped and Nirvana launched grunge it was only one factor in the changing of the guard in music.
@@servantoftwilight2951 Nirvana is so overrated.
@@servantoftwilight2951 I'll take Alice N Chains anyday
I would loooooooooooooove love love for you guys to do more rock music. You'd be surprised at how anti-cop anti-establishment Rock is.
Oh, man. Dead Kennedys would blow their minds :D
Elvis!
No feeling like that Nirvana feeling. Keep it up gents. Bravo
Again, so fun to see you guys. Grunge rock!!!! I was in my early 30's back then. It's fun hearing these classic hits with you guys. Yes!!! I'm old. You are so entertaining 🤣 😂 I do love you exploring other genre's and eras of music. There's so much in this world.
I’m a half black cuban/Jamaican straight outta HIGH SCHOOL
And i only started playing electric guitar cuz of Cobain and way okder music from the 1970s also…
and for sure it makes no sense to me for anybody to not have heard of
N I R V A N A
so proud of dude in the middle spreading the culture bruv.
Great Music should be exposed to everyone!!!
HOLY SHIT I NEARLY DIED WHEN U SAID ABOUT THE WHITE LIGHTER 🤣 I was born in England in 84 and I remember hearing that story in the 90s. Im so glad you had your man there to help you…please try and explore music pre 2010. Even saying that makes me feel depressed 🙃
Very glad he was there!!! You never heard of Nirvana? 😂😂😂
@@Stefnmaddy he said nothing past 2010….TWENTY TEN 😱😱😱 it genuinely shook me up
@@SkadoooschMovieRanking right?! 😄
@@Stefnmaddy yup
"They really use instuments"! Greatest quote ever! Kind of sad the state of music right now.
Love you guys. I feel like an old man and you give me hope for the future.
It makes me so happy that y’all are open minded enough to listen to everything. Y’all rule!
Fuck I miss grunge music
🤟🏻
Sometimes I wish they would listen more than they talk.. Nirvana are LEGENDS!!
Shut
No kidding
Lol, you guys should make a rock band....definitely with s sax!
The guy in the middle(or in the back) , everyone needs a friend like this guy! He's cool AF
You earned a "subscribe"from me. I love y'all's energy. Good music surpasses spoken language, that ish is universal love, if it moves you and makes you feel some type of way it's FOR YOU! I'm a 41 year old white boy and when I'm in my Lexus on the highway and I put on some Detroit rap like Dame I got the strap in the seat right next to me hard eyeballin' everyone!
I moved to Seattle from Portland in spring of 1990 and I bought a lot of cds from stuff I heard on MTV and underground radio up there. One time the guy running the record store gave me a cassette tape of a local band and told me to listen to it a few times and let it grow in me. He said it’s a band called Nirvana. It was the album Bleach and it stayed in my cassette player for two months solid. I coulmd get enough if it
That's awesome!
Nirvana has a litany of videos you should check out, but make sure you also check out their version of a David Bowie song, "The Man Who Sold the World", on MTV unplugged. Freaking amazing!!!
"U dont know who Kurt Cobain is?" "KurkoBangz like the gansta rapper?"😂🤣😅, and I agree exactly!
Damn. Hearing them say The Beatles are too old for them and that Nirvana is "old school sh*t" makes me feel ancient and I'm only 33.
Lawd I could sooo put yall on to some music and artists that will take your mind to another level and never want to return 🙂 I'm glad yall are experiencing these classics
I love the comment “they’re actually using instruments” - so revealing of the generation!
There's A LOT of music you don't know. Props to middle dude. Kurt Cobain pretty much started the grunge/alternative Era in the 90's. He didn't like being famous, he just wanted to play music.
In 1991 Nirvana finally gave Generation X rockers their own sound and defining soundtrack. The media labelled the Music Grunge. Its funny that I found you guys learning about rock while I was searching to learn about rap and hip hop. Enjoy your journey (Aerosmith and Run DMC Walk this Way maybe?) I'm off to learn about some guy named Tu Pac.... ps the Beatles are still relevant and amazing or why Michael Jackson bought their catalogue?
I grew up in the 90's, Nirvana blew up when I was in elementary school and they got heavy play on Mtv back when they were still playing videos. Nirvana is legendary, and their drummer has a spinoff band, Foo Fighters y'all should react to. Both catalogs are deep!
Makes me smile watching y’all feeding your heads with new to you music. I was 16 when he was shot. Miss his genuineness. Have a good one be safe and be easy.
"You used to use intruments..." yeah... the best times of music.
Hey brothers, I have a request can you react to Bob Marley and the wailers. The new generation needs to hear good reggae music. Always I feel good listening to music with y'all 😊 thanks
Great reactions, You guys gotta react to some falling in reverse, popular monster and their newest track zombiefied, pure hype music!
Great choices
90s grunge at its best. RIP, Kurt. I loved your reaction and he doesn't know Motley Crue??? 😂
"There's a whole time in music that we don't know." True! There is so much fabulous stuff out there, waiting for you to discover it.
Thanks!
The band Living Color is an all-black hard rock band that kicked ass in the 80s. That shit's hard af and really great.
