I agree with you there it's probably 20 + years since I left my nirvana phase but over the last few months in lockdown I've become immersed in the story of kurt and now talented he actually was... 🎸
I don't really think that curious is the word you meant. Is it strange? I'm sure what Kurt talks about is that many people liked the songs but nobody really understood what he was trying to say. He's living in a different world in a different sphere just one step ahead of the rest of people. It's an expanded dimension but most of the normal people are stuck in their life and dimension. Like the one who sings along and likes to shoot his gun. Living a simple life.
DarthV_07 It sucks and that guys a prick, But Kurt pretty much bought it for unplugged. She probably has some of his stage guitars he actually used alot and probably wrote songs on
Courtney Love... Why are u such a mean individual. Do you really think your Buddha closes His eyes on the homicide u got away SO FAR... Karma police will get u and I pray to ALL gods for it. I don't care to the fact Kurt left Jesus vice versa... I prayed to mine nonetheless I am a Muslim... I KNOW I AM RIGHT....
Why do people click on a song, then dislike it? The thought process is weird. I dont just click dislike if i came across the song and i didnt even know the song/like it or wasnt in the genre. Really weird 99% normally go whoops wrong song
Late reply but it's possible that they just didn't like something about the video.. also TH-cam does this thing where if you click on something it recommends more of it to you, so if you don't like it and hit dislike I think TH-cam is less likely to recommend similar things to you
Yo I just figured out again his choice of lyrics hits hard. I don’t even know how the hell he does it, he is a musical genius! People are still jamming from the old days , like people before the 90s, people from the 90s, and even new listeners that are from Gen Z. Timeless masterpiece.
I have a feeling that in the far future, people rate him top 10 (or 100 or 1000 accounting for all other upcoming artists throughout the years, im thinking in terms of centuries and millennias…) and they still jam him like crazy.
I feel like Kurt Cobain put a group of different emotions into one song to form a bigger picture that represented his whole life. It just so happened that everyone who listens to these songs feels differently about them. My dad once told me that he has a theory about what Smells Like Teen Spirit is about and means and when I asked him what he thought it was he told me I have to find that out for myself. The meaning of music and art is inside oneself.
Yes, you nailed it. I listen to this, close my eyes, and I'm 19 again. Not a care in the world, me and the boys partying with all the pretty bad girls, having the time of our lives tripping on shrooms, driving way too fast and loving life.
I love this song. I think it's about beautiful flowers (people) being "In Bloom" and how we treat "beautiful" people, "beautiful art". Consuming their beauty and leaving the person to rot. The world, instead of nurturing those people (the artists, creatives, kids)... "sell the kids for food". They sell out their children's spirits and spark and hearts for money (food). They sell out the musicians' mental health and soul, their inner "child", for "food", something to satisfy their craving for music and the decadence, satiety of the "meal". They treat the musician like an object. A meal to consume. "Nature is a whore" Just like we use and use nature until it's dry and barren, we do the same with people. Capitalism does this.. we exploit people, destroy their spirits, and we wash it all down at the end of the day with a McDonald's and a Coke and wait for the Nirvana video on MTV to give us dopamine and make us feel good. The chorus is calling out these people who just enjoy the "flower" of "Nirvana". "He's the one who likes all our pretty songs and he likes to sing along, likes to shoot his gun... but he knows not what it means." They don't actually support/care about the artist as a person. They don't support the message or the meaning of the songs. At all. They only care when the artist is "In Bloom". They want to consume the flowers. "Nature is a whore" for them to use. They don't care when the rosebud is closed and you can't SEE the pretty flower. In fact, they'll kill the actual plant, the living thing. Strangle it, destroy its health (the mental health). In the pursuit of consuming the flowers. Kurt knows that the general public is just using him because he's famous and will consume and use and abuse him. Because that's what people do in a sick society. But he's still going to make music anyways. Till his last breath. Even though you probably don't care about the actual person/message, and will abuse him and use him until he's completely drained. And all he can do is just sing about it. Make a lot of money. He can't change it. They "know not what it means".
Of all the TRULY EPIC bands that I was fortunate enough to grow up listening to in the 90's (without a doubt the best damn decade for music in my opinion!!!)... Even among my all-time favorites, Rage Against the Machine, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, and Alice in Chains simply cannot be touched by anyone else... ever
"Spring is here again Reproductive glands" omg I never knew those were the lyrics - just laughed my ass off!" Born in same year as Kurt ( I'm both happy and sad to say...) If I known this in my early/mid 20's instead of whatever the hell I was singing (probably something like "we were docked again" ???) that alone would have made me a huge fan lol! Great example of Kurt's humor right there :) (and I'm female but hey, spring is spring and glands is glands 😁😁🤭😳) Love and miss you Kurt 💕🎸🎤🕊
I love this song. I think he's talking about child abuse. " knows not what is means" is like in biblical terms. Like " God forgive them for they know not what they do." This guy's us a genius. Watch the video. Boys dressed like girls as as abusers see them. Genius.
you know if that's true between this and smells like teen spirit i have a feeling kurt doesn't give a fuck about song meanings....the apathy seems appropriate
It a Christian Song only he sounded he abandoned God.. The he's in the chorus should be written with capital 'H'. He isn't sounded as an anti-christ either... Rather voicing the life of homeless people of which he startled from to celebrity... It's a leap we couldn't ever imagine... The second verse sounded like his and individuals experiencing traumatic adolescenthood... Eg incest..alienation etc... Btw... Above are my version of interpreting this song based on fact of his life experiences.... The facts can be easily found in Wikipedia... On top of all He is the King of Sarcasm and Metaphor....
egemen ozan spell he with capital 'H'... The abandon God like for long time... The trio dropped the idea naming their band as Abandon-Christ something like that instead of Nirvana... Clarification can be found in Wikimedia... Btw I meant no insult to Christians.... Not so ever...
I just shuffled my youtube personalized playlist, and I went from "how you like that" by blackpink to "In Bloom" by Nirvana XD after this I have "Winter Wind" by Chopin. I have such a diverse taste in music and I love it.

Nirvana is like an excellent wine.
Its gets better and better with the time.
I agree with you there it's probably
20 + years since I left my nirvana phase but over the last few months in lockdown I've become immersed in the story of kurt and now talented he actually was... 🎸
And it becomes an addiction
Cause nowadays music keeps getting worse
It gets better and better with a line
Yeah until you lose your mind from to much of the wine.

I think that we can all agree that none of us are 100% right about what the meaning is behind any of Nirvanas songs.
Truth spoken 🙌🏻
There's no meaning nirvana songs are like modern art. Every Song Is made from different Pieces that makes you feel different that form a whole picture
I think someone is one person and they feel incredibly lonely
True. I think they're made to mean somthing different for anyone. Like an abstract piece of art. You can see what you want
We know not what it means.... And probably never will. And probably it doesn't have any meaning

i change my mind now lithium comes first then probably come as you are
*"He likes to Shoot his gun"*
Its curious how most of his songs make a reference that somehow, make us remember his death sadly.
Kurt means by "likes to shoot his gun" by take drugs the shot drugs into them
@@gabrielhouston6880 fuck you kurt was one the best song writers in the world

@@P3ndejosG4ngi have always loved everything about Kurt but except his hair tho
I see a lot of people at my school with nirvana shirts and none of them actually listen to nirvana. that kinda pisses me off idk bout anyone else
its something people only do just because to logo or name sounds "cool"
Same I hate it
Same same saaame
Rose Dragneel same with my school, but replace nirvana with AC/DC and Bowie
😂 Liking a band isn’t a personality trait. Let people wear what they want. Who cares? There’s better things to worry about.
I love how everyone has there own interpretations of what the lyrics mean. I think it’s incredible how nirvana could do that x
Yo I just figured out again his choice of lyrics hits hard. I don’t even know how the hell he does it, he is a musical genius! People are still jamming from the old days , like people before the 90s, people from the 90s, and even new listeners that are from Gen Z. Timeless masterpiece.
Everyone who disliked this video, they started to dance and didnt realize that they accidentally hit the dislike button while jamming out!🤙🏽
I mean I love nirvana, but you clearly don't understand the concept of something being subjective
they meant "dis i like"
Rosie, Ash, Q, Leroy, and V created 218 accounts to dislike this
Must be so!
You are at peace ...
when you like all of their pretty songs, and also when you like to sing along ...
but you don’t know what it means 😔
@@priceless0negd 😂 nailed it! 😂
I won't be born for another 6 months and I love this shit
You must be In Utero *dies of cringe from bad nirvana reference*
You gotta cool dad.
Really one of the outstanding songs from Nirvana.
Legends never die. Kurt cobain rules as long as his music will exist to the world
I have a feeling that in the far future, people rate him top 10 (or 100 or 1000 accounting for all other upcoming artists throughout the years, im thinking in terms of centuries and millennias…) and they still jam him like crazy.
I think that the meaning behind nirvana's lyrics changes according to the point of view and imagination of who is listening.
In my opinion, it has numerous meanings within each line. He is a musical genius with real talent.
I feel like Kurt Cobain put a group of different emotions into one song to form a bigger picture that represented his whole life. It just so happened that everyone who listens to these songs feels differently about them. My dad once told me that he has a theory about what Smells Like Teen Spirit is about and means and when I asked him what he thought it was he told me I have to find that out for myself. The meaning of music and art is inside oneself.
Lol!!!!! Yeah a real dad would say that! People have their own memories and their viewpoints are different from others maybe.
Shame the people who disliked this video!!
Paddy Elmes nawh it's OK let them have their opinion and us have ours.
YES SHAME ON THEM FOR HAVING THERE OWN OPINION!
Limbule their*
I'll shoot them with a shotgun like Kurt shot himself so they could feel the pain like he did.
i disliked because the lyrics were written wrong, not because i dont like this song
Man this song gets better the more you listen
Heard this during late elementary, loved it then, love it today. Timeless.
I love Nirvana. Also, i think it's "He don't know what it means." But that's just me. I'm not completely sure.
PegaKittySus ;3 he is known for not being able to understand. lol. if you listen closely it says knows not what it means.

"Nature is a whore"

They don't actually support/care about the artist as a person. They don't support the message or the meaning of the songs. At all.
They only care when the artist is "In Bloom". They want to consume the flowers. "Nature is a whore" for them to use.
They don't care when the rosebud is closed and you can't SEE the pretty flower. In fact, they'll kill the actual plant, the living thing. Strangle it, destroy its health (the mental health). In the pursuit of consuming the flowers.
Kurt knows that the general public is just using him because he's famous and will consume and use and abuse him.
Because that's what people do in a sick society.
But he's still going to make music anyways.

Even though you probably don't care about the actual person/message, and will abuse him and use him until he's completely drained.
And all he can do is just sing about it. Make a lot of money.
