Of all the people I've watched react to this song you're the first I've seen actually break it down. Good job. You'd have a field day with the rest of their stuff
You were 17 when this song came out? That must have been wild. I was 11 and this video changed so much for me, not just in terms of music, but in terms of how I viewed the world.
@@garysimonson1135 I was 15 when this came out and yeah, it was pretty wild. For the first time the kind of music that I was used to only hearing on local college radio was actually getting airtime on major TV music programs. The mainstream was so unsure how to categorize it that at first it was only getting played on shows that normally covered Metal.
Wow, you really nailed this! And even when the apathetic teens get excited and have energy it's aggressive and destructive and - they're not celebrating who they are (like the janitor) - they're lashing out. It's almost like - this is what putting on the mask of apathy and holding it in does. It builds and builds until the dam breaks and it comes out in cathartic yet uncontrollable aggression.
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.
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.
This was my childhood song as a kid i would listen to it whenever i could. and im now glad that i know the meaning of the song from how you see it. The way you explain things makes SO much sense to my brain and i completely understand every song you explain your view of the song. Thank you for doing these videos these are SO helpful. ^w^
Same, first time I heard it on TV in the early 90s I was like 7-8 year old and all i wanted is to jump around like them, without realizing the whole apathy piece and tough teenagerhood could be.
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
I really like your vids. I would be very interested to see you react to Marylin Mansons older stuff. Especially The Beautiful people, Tourniquet, or the nobodies.The music videos are super artistic and interesting as well. Keep up the amazing vids :)
I like your analysis on this!!!:) I feel like you got in his head a little bit more than people that read a book or listened to a CD or something. Thank you!!:)
This style of music was pretty new when it appered. All the grown-ups where shocked by the noise. But on every party their music was played. It spread a feeling of not be a part of the grown-up society.
Everytime this song pops on I get the feeling to walk around like Diamond Dallas Page from WCW since this was his theme song. He's a great dude went from having a Hall of Fame Pro Wrestling career to helping people turn their life around with his DDP Yoga program that gotten people to get in shape and help find their way to sobriety.
The Anarchy cheerleading squad is my favorite! 😂 Did you know that Kurt had a job as a janitor at his high school after dropping out? He dropped out two weeks before graduation because he didn't have enough credits to graduate.
I love your breakdowns of songs. A lot of the 90s grunge and metal hits home for me. One song that got me through a lot was Nutshell by Alice in Chains. Would love to hear your take on that song.
I need you to listen to so far away my Avenged sevenfold. there is SOO much emotion to draw from that song. I CRIED listening to it and music usually doesn't leave that kind of impact on me. Does the fact that its about their dead drummer make it any more emotional?
Your analysis of this song really hit home for me today, thank you. I’d never really sat down to listen or understand the lyrics, but I wish I had 25-30 years ago. Jeremy by Pearl Jam on the other hand…
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.
Great analysis of this song. This is one I've been trying to understand for quite some time, and you definitely made me realize some key points. If you ever take suggestions, I recommend you to check out the band The Warning. Most of their songs have some very good analysis material so you cannot go wrong.
I think this is the worst analysis of this song I've ever heard. She even missed the easy parts. 😂 Sounds the same as a text book diagnose from 1991. Oh, man, haha. We really need to update our psychiatry books in America. It's not like this is a new song. It probably should have been taught somewhere in her education...and it probably was. But, hey, shitty TH-cam videos still get views... and make the same money as the good ones, right?
Love your natural without any filters behaviour in your videos! The way you dance and take music for rhythm waves moves is just great. This without talking about your smile 😎. Really hope you will continue on this path that suits you perfectly (for the nothing I know you… 😊) Take care! 🤘
It's funny how younger generations think they understand this song better than Gen X, and this "therapist" kept talking about teenagers because of the title. She may be right about a couple of things... I think she should rewatch the video or watch other Nirvana videos and see if she comes up with the same non-sense she was talking about...
That's interesting you picked up on the apathy, which was all they talked about with gen x. 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.
People didn't put meanings to it like this back then...you are right mostly though 90s was grundge when no sense made sense was the vibe. I honestly think kids were more in large active back then so the teenage drift wasn't as impacted. I really think teens struggle more today in many ways
It was always my experience that sticking out in any way led to physical violence in school. I had to learn to blend into any background for my own safety. Which is something I wish I would have learned earlier. I would have saved me a lot of pain, and humiliation.
thank you so much for this!!! wish you could have explained this song to me when i was in school! please do black by pear jam at some point, I'd love to hear your take on it.
Amazing analysis! 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. ♥♥♥
Bloopers in the video : 2 kids moving to the music when it begins Cheerleader smiling right into the Camera Facts = Kurt was a Janitor in the same high school he quit The Cheerleaders were Strippers hired Samuel Bayer ( the director ) made a "Johnny Rotten" Video Looking exactly the same in 1992....this coming from a singer who hated Nirvana Some facts from VH1 ( POP UP VIDEO -1997 )
I've really been enjoying your content for the last little bit now and I've seen you've checked out some slipknot and the song's you have checked out and analyzed are really good and in depth but I think it would be very interesting if you analyzed their songs Everything Ends or Skin Ticket off their album IOWA
You should definitly try: You know you‘re right (Nirvana). In my opinion their best song. Also I‘m just new to your channel, but I really like your videos :)
Que hoy en día solo las canciones de Metal tengan "mensajes" y en las 2 ultimas décadas no haya una canción (exceptuando al metal) llamada a ser un himno de una generación....dice mucho de la decadencia actual.
Oh my God you need to react to Alice in Chains!! As a therapist, i think the songs Nutshell and Down in a Hole, both live at MTV Unplugged, are a must watch. Please analyze those two songs for us!
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.
Taylor and Kurt were shopping at the same store it looks like. Nothing like a good side by side comparison to show you that the 90s are well and truly back en vogue ^^ Love the jacket Taylor ^^ I'd certainly wear that, too!
How the apathy was contextualized in this time in the reality of deeply Christian nationalist 80s and it’s complete disconnect with the “happy” glam and retrowave aesthetic that had been co-opted to reinforce misogyny, racism, homophobia and offer only the reprieve of excess consumption as panacea is the thing I feel is missing from this otherwise excellent analysis. The inverted pep rally was an artistic reflection of how the band and many contemporaries felt about the culture of the day (this was wildly subversive art at the time.) Within just that year the same social forces would co-opt this aesthetic to be the new “cool” & apathetic “vibe”. So we went from be happy, shroud hate in bright colors, don’t care, to be angry, don’t care, wear your ugliness on your sleeve. The net effect missing the entire point of this new absurdist influenced movement. They were so ahead of everyone on this the NEXT song on this album literally predicted this behavior about the audience missing the message entirely.
You're doing good at interpretation of lyrics as a cry for help or speaking truths to power. It's not just senseless violence and devil worship as the audience parents thought.
This is so nostalgic. Playing Age of empires with Nivana on the background. What is this song al about? Can't figure any lyrics out. How do the words to it go. I wish you tell me. I don't know.
Cobain was a deeply troubled person who made a lot of stupid choices. In the end, fame brought him a raging heroin addiction, and when his band was no longer number one, he saw that as reason enough to shoot himself in the face with a shotgun. "Better to burn out, than to fade away." he said in his suicide note. Immediately stopped idolizing the guy as a young impressionable person myself. I grew up with Nirvana, but doing what he did in the end was beyond comprehension, and deserves no admiration. He's off my playlist, for life.
Do you know who the long haired hippie looking dude on the Drums is....? That Me Lady is none other than Dave Grohl. Lead for the Foo Fighters. And do you know what a Foo Fighter is? Came from WWII and UAP's seen by Stuka and Messerschmitt fighter pilots. I like what your doin' gurl. Good job.
If you want to analyze songs as a therapist, there are several you should listen to. "Daddy" by Korn. "Fear" by blue october. "Hi Ren" by Ren. So many more
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.
@HeartSupport - Talk About Your Mental Health time for the harder stuff, do you want to try it? GUTALAX - DIARRHERO (Special lyrics) Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face (Oldschool) DYING FETUS - Unbridled Fury ABORTED - Infinite Terror SHINING - Allt För Döden Torsof.ck- Raped by Elephants GORGOROTH - Black Mass Krakow (live Full show) Endstille - Depressive/Abstract/Banished/Despised if someone still knows bands please write ->
"Where Did You Sleep Last Night" needs to be listened to and analyzed. Just for the pure emotion Kurt into singing that song. It is raw and moving.
Of all the people I've watched react to this song you're the first I've seen actually break it down. Good job. You'd have a field day with the rest of their stuff
I fully agree. She had deepened my appreciation of this archetypal song.
...and she got it all wrong. Funny.
It’s took me over 50 years to realise that caring is not a weakness,it must be even more difficult to be young these days

The song that literally changed lives, including mine, would do anything to hear this for the first time again!
I remember hearing it when it first came out and I was like... I need more of this music in my life. I hadn't heard anything like it.
Yeah, I'm old :(
Great statement
I can't figure out why this channel is so small... terrific content
This song literally came from a girl spray painting on a wall. "Kurt smells like teen spirit." The deodorant.
The song title not the lyrics lol
Her name is Kathleen Hanna - at the time singer of Bikini Kill, but more recently Le Tigre and the Julie Ruin
@xtldc I didn't know that. That's pretty awesome!
I heard somewhere that kurt had said he'd never worn deodurant before this song was made 😂
@@cylex45 that is grunge in a nutshell
Just discovered your channel. Happy to see someone try to figure out the meaning of songs and really delve into the lyrics. Really great.

Therapist.... you're after my heart! You're cool!
I came up in Seattle. That was an incredibly fun time.
This style of music was pretty new when it appered. All the grown-ups where shocked by the noise. But on every party their music was played. It spread a feeling of not be a part of the grown-up society.

Yeah the anarchy cheerleaders were awesome, I agree.
I remember the first time I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit. It came on the radio in the 90s as I was driving down Route 21 in NJ and it blew me away.
Straight into the song no messing around. Love your style
That was awesome. Makes sense. As a Nirvana fan, I wish you did that with the rest of their songs.
So nostalgic of my youth … 18 years old when this album came out….listening to Nirvana while cutting hay fields In Texas on Mr. Furlows farm!
OMG You're a genius Taylor, love your analysis

I wish I heard this explanation about apathy back in 95 when I was in high school😢, but I understand now, moving forward, thank you😊
Fuk, you nailed it. There is hope for humanity!
The janitor in the video is actually a representation of Kurt because Kurt was a janitor at the same high school that he dropped out of
I 100% think you should react to Sober by Tool, such a great song.
Not just sober but Parabol and Parabola
Should go through tool like she did slipknot.
Your analysis of this song really hit home for me today, thank you. I’d never really sat down to listen or understand the lyrics, but I wish I had 25-30 years ago. Jeremy by Pearl Jam on the other hand…

Cool Heart shirt👍 Awesome band. Wish I was old enough to see them back in the 70s
It was always my experience that sticking out in any way led to physical violence in school. I had to learn to blend into any background for my own safety. Which is something I wish I would have learned earlier. I would have saved me a lot of pain, and humiliation.
She is a vibe. When she groove's I groove watching her.

I’d like to see her react to Type O Negative-Christian Woman
The janitor is a reference to kurt himself. After dropping out from highschool he got a job as a janitor at that same highschool
But it's also referencing so many other things.
Sad he went out like he did. He was so brilliant.
Very interesting analysis of the song. Your analysis makes me think of what Is happening with something that I am doing and other people's reaction.
You gotta check out "The World I Know" by Collective Soul. Very heavy song addressing depression and suicide with a powerful video to say the least.
Kurt was one of a kind .❤
I'd love to see your analysis of the video: Orphan Soul by Infected Rain.
Very, very deep analysis. Respect.
They literally have another song called Lithium. Would love you to hear you analyze that as well.
Bloopers in the video :
2 kids moving to the music when it begins
Cheerleader smiling right into the Camera
Facts = Kurt was a Janitor in the same high school he quit
The Cheerleaders were Strippers hired
Samuel Bayer ( the director ) made a "Johnny Rotten" Video
Looking exactly the same in 1992....this coming from a singer who hated Nirvana
Some facts from VH1 ( POP UP VIDEO -1997 )
Nice analysis . This came out when I was in high school…..I figured it just meant I could wreck shit!
Loved this video, first time on this channel, Already subscribed. And I LOVE NIRVANA, I´m 42 years old. Great analysis.
You should Def react to Jeris Johnson, Boi what- Battling my Demons. Such a great song!!
A therapist analyzing Nirvana.. I expect to hear full bullshit but damn I am surprised.. That was really good !!
Keep it up
New subscriber I like how you break down your reaction 🔥
one song: Tori Amos - me and a gun (live at montreux 1992) ...and i don't know what to say but it shouldn't be covered by silence
First song i learned on guitar and played in the grade 8 talent show
I've really been enjoying your content for the last little bit now and I've seen you've checked out some slipknot and the song's you have checked out and analyzed are really good and in depth but I think it would be very interesting if you analyzed their songs Everything Ends or Skin Ticket off their album IOWA
You should definitly try: You know you‘re right (Nirvana).
In my opinion their best song.
Also I‘m just new to your channel, but I really like your videos :)
Please watch their unplugged version of their song "dumb" so good
"vulnerability is what creates connection"
Miss, you just explained the entire point of Neon Genesis Evangelion in 5 words. Oh my goodness.
first reactor I subbed to, good job
Please look into Alice In Chains. Some pretty deep stuff and of course Lane Staley and Jerry are phenomenal artists.
good analysis
Que hoy en día solo las canciones de Metal tengan "mensajes" y en las 2 ultimas décadas no haya una canción (exceptuando al metal) llamada a ser un himno de una generación....dice mucho de la decadencia actual.
Please next Analyzes "Lithium" :O
He is really talking about stage fright
Oh my God you need to react to Alice in Chains!! As a therapist, i think the songs Nutshell and Down in a Hole, both live at MTV Unplugged, are a must watch. Please analyze those two songs for us!
The "it's not cool to care" comes with the teenage mindset, but do you think that was more prevalent with the Gen-X generation than other generations?
Who raised them?
Can you do a reaction to Nirvana's 'Pennyroyal Tea" unplugged
I left my apathy aside but under it there was only more apathy. Ah well.
I wonder how she would react to "Roots" by Sepultura
Always loved the line, "I feel stupid and contageous."
Now, it is imperative that you react to Weird Al Yancovick version of this same song.
Actual kurt said his lyrics didnt make sense cuz he focused on the music first....BUT WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW!!!mia goth laugh
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.

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.
And for proof He re wrote the songs check the mixtape he sent in to the record company.
Taylor and Kurt were shopping at the same store it looks like.
Nothing like a good side by side comparison to show you that the 90s are well and truly back en vogue ^^
Love the jacket Taylor ^^ I'd certainly wear that, too!
How the apathy was contextualized in this time in the reality of deeply Christian nationalist 80s and it’s complete disconnect with the “happy” glam and retrowave aesthetic that had been co-opted to reinforce misogyny, racism, homophobia and offer only the reprieve of excess consumption as panacea is the thing I feel is missing from this otherwise excellent analysis.

You have to watch From can to can't by Corey Taylor I promise you will enjoy it please watch!!!
Cobain was a deeply troubled person who made a lot of stupid choices. In the end, fame brought him a raging heroin addiction, and when his band was no longer number one, he saw that as reason enough to shoot himself in the face with a shotgun. "Better to burn out, than to fade away." he said in his suicide note. Immediately stopped idolizing the guy as a young impressionable person myself. I grew up with Nirvana, but doing what he did in the end was beyond comprehension, and deserves no admiration. He's off my playlist, for life.
Good reaction!👍
Do you know who the long haired hippie looking dude on the Drums is....? That Me Lady is none other than Dave Grohl. Lead for the Foo Fighters. And do you know what a Foo Fighter is? Came from WWII and UAP's seen by Stuka and Messerschmitt fighter pilots. I like what your doin' gurl. Good job.
Ilove this song thank you for this react
Has she done Pisces by Jinjer yet?
If you want to analyze songs as a therapist, there are several you should listen to. "Daddy" by Korn. "Fear" by blue october. "Hi Ren" by Ren. So many more
It's neat that you can come up with all this. But I can guarantee no l one in nirvana thought about even 10% of what you talked about.
How can you guarantee that?
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.
Yeah, whatever.
