i don't think that kurt did that song thinkin to much about it. i think he just take a pencil and a paper and writer whatever he though in that moment
here's my thing-- i HATE when people claim his lyrics didn't mean anything, they did so mean things, as dumb as it sounds, they spoke of somewhat an eternal truth.. but i also HATE when people put some pure teen angst theme to everything Nirvana and make them seem like only a generational band, when they were million times more than that.
Nirvana is the shit no doubt, but come on this is just bullshit. People are over anylizing the fucken lyrics. Like the that girl @2:03 saying how that generation was blah blah blah. shut the fuck up. i bet if Kurt would hear this shit he would be laughing his ass.it was just a really good catchy rock song with a really good video.Also if Kurt wouldnt of killed himself it wouldnt be as big. it would of got stale and they just would be another big band with a really really big hit.
Smells like teen spirit is not the anthem of Generation X. Most Gen Xer hated grunge and were left speechless when their classic heavy metal and rock were getting little air time on MTV while grunge and gangsta rap were getting increased air time.
The grunge and gansta rap scene was heavily embraced by the first Gen Yers who were just young teenagers at the time.
@RebelThoughts Hair band was even a term used back then. So to make reference to it makes you sound like the dipshit. I was there. Gen Xers were into classic metal and rock from the late 60s, 70s, and first half of the 1980s.
Are you referring to the hair spray bands such as those bubble gum playing groups who played in the late 80s like poison, etc.. What bands to you consider a joke from the 70s and early 80s?
Gen Y doesn't start until 1980, and last time I checked, Nirvana's early 90's fanbase did not consist of ten year olds. You were there, right? Right? My father was into Nirvana, fool, and he was born in the early 60's. He was also into AC/DC and Rush, so you can't insult his taste (well, you could, but it would be a waste of time). 70's born kids are Gen X, and most of Nirvana's fanbase were people born from '67 - '77.
And that's pretty much the same demographic as the punk, thrash, and hairband fanbase. Grunge just took fans away from the latter, because the latter was starting to get extremely repetitive and had long since lost its edge.
And where are you getting this ;ate 60's - early 80's stuff? That's baby boomer era music! Fool! Gen Xers weren't even born until the late 60's! How could they possibly be part of that music scene!? Btw, the music from that era isn't bound to any generation.
@VegitoVai90 It's what the majority of the population of Gen X were into that counts. I listened to AC/DC, Aerosmith, Rush, Nazareth, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Priest, Scorpions, OZZY, Metallica, GNR, and the NWOBHM. Yes Nirvana was popular along with grunge in the early 90s.
The 70s and 80s metal and rock concert goers didn't suddenly start attending Nirvana concerts. Gen X is 61 - 76 give or take a year.
Everything I've read points to Gen X starting in 1965 at the earliest, some say it didn't start until 1970. Gen Y begins in the early 80's. The Baby Boom was '45 - '65. Seems pretty straightforward. What I'm saying is that the 70's concert goers were EXCLUSIVELY baby boomers, while 80's rock and metal was a mix of Gen X and boomers. 90's alternative was almost all Gen X, very little Gen Y. So yeah, grunge was pretty huge among Gen Xers.
@VegitoVai90 I agree on some of those points. With the exception of Metallica and GNR, the metal and rock of the late 80s became lame. I think many of the late Gen Xers made up the grunge rock fan base. But in the mid to late 90s i saw mostly Gen Yers still playing grunge and hip hop while many of Gen Xers went back to classic metal and rock. Today classic metal and rock like Sabbath and AC/DC are still huge. Ninety percent or more of twenty somethings i've met are into hip hop.
Idk, most of my buddies like underground music and an occasional catchy top 40 song. Most people my age don't really give two shits about who's big now. It's so fake and commercialized and soulless that nobody follows the mainstream. People just listen to one song for a week and forget it. If you ask me, if something truly authentic and timeless and powerful (like Nirvana) were to come out right now, everything else would collapse and become completely uncool.
@brian16bardok01 Por ejemplo para mi refleja insatisfacción por no aceptarte tal y como eres...no creo que haya que echarle culpa al gobierno por eso;a lo mejor me equivoco al decir que Kurt parecía bastante depresivo. Ante todo era un gran cantante y el rock perdío mucho con su temprana muerte.
Jajja Tori Amos... que pelotuda por dios cuando era joven estaba re buena y talves cantaba bien pero ahora no tiene ni idea de lo que hace ahi... nada mas porq la canto no significa que la entienda y mucho menos se puede poner a hablar de politica con ella... Habla de generaciones que cuestionan y la cuestion se la hace ella estando ahi... "Que mierda ago aca si no se ni quien es Kurt Cobain" xD
"me siento estupido y contagioso" siginifica que en esa epoca eran casi todos idiotas q se copiaban.
Smells like teen spirit... No es la gran cancion que todos dicen que es. Si, habla "el lenguaje juvenil" pero se convirtio en un instrumento mas del sistema para atrapar a los jovenes de esa epoca. Soy fan de Nirvana, no me malinterpreten, pero esta no es la gran joya de ellos. Canciones como Tourettes o Lithium hablan mas sobre la desilucion juvenil que esto. Esta cancion, al pasar el tiempo, se volvio una parodia de lo que representaba Cobain y hasta el mismo odiaba la cancion.
en raelidad mucho de lo q hizo lo termino odiando xq la gente usaba su trabajo para cosas q el no queria, metieron un monton d politica q kurt nunca quiso poner ahi kurt simplemente uso lo q sentia transmitido por su mente privilegiada de la musik y q los demas la arruinamos -.- kurt era alquien especial q no debio pasar todo eso pero dejo un gran legado a este mundo!!!
nirvana jamas pasa de moda..
kurt cobain jamas pasa de moda..
smells like teen spirit jamas para de moda...
ponele smells like teen spirit a un niño,i enseguida te va a pedir una guitarra para tocar esa cancion
