There’s a reason why there’s a billion views here. This is one of the top 5 seminal moments in rock history. You can like or not like Kurt but this song changed rock completely. It’s really an amazing cultural changing point.
Love Grunge
Changed rock? Absolutely! This song knocked Michael Jackson out of the top spot on billboard and forever changed music!
Fun fact : Every decade the Library of Congress chooses a song to save that best represents the decade. Smells Like Teen Spirit is in the Library of Congress.
@@mrs.martin3158 And they are in the R&R Hall of Fame.
@@thebookmeister8266 More importantly it buried the zombified walking corpse that was hair metal in the early 90's.
Back then, we couldn't just pull up lyrics. None of us had a clue of what he was saying but we all sang along anyway..
The lyrics were on the liner notes of the CD.
RIGHT?!? Our friends who owned the albums were literally writing them down and passing them in class as notes.
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna. Buy our album. We're Nirvana.
I listened to the Tori Amos edition to find the lyrics.
😂 so right.we didn't even need to know the lyrics 😂
Welcome to Grunge music. The drummer is Dave Grohl. After Kurts death he formed FOO FIGHTERS they just released a new album like a week ago.
He did an AMA on Reddit today and I missed it!
Dave Grohl has the reputation for being "the nicest guy in rock".😍
More like three months ago...🤣
@@mrs.martin3158 he probably is!! such a good dude!
needs to do all my life be the foo fighters
This song basically kicked off the whole grunge rock movement of the 90s.
You know a song is great when it starts an entire *genre*.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" didn't create the genre, but it did bring it to the attention of the wider world. Before the term "Grunge" became the agreed upon title of the genre, there was a music writer/critic, named Chuck Eddy, who was calling it "Bigfoot Rock," due to the fact that the bands creating this sound, were mainly from the Pacific Northwest of the United States, where many so-called "Bigfoot sightings" had occured. That was in 1986 or '87. The first time the word "Grunge" was used to describe a band's music, was in 1972, by the famous music writer/critic, Lester Bangs, who was writing about an album by the band "White Witch," for "Creem" magazine. He also used the term "Punk Rock," in that same article!
But, it was probably, Mark Arm (from: Mr. Epp and the Calculations, Green River, The Thrown Ups, The Limp Richerds, Mudhoney and Monkeywrench), who put the word into the heads of people in Seattle, back in 1982.
Yeah
Ya, no. Grunge was alive and well for years in Seattle and Vancouver before this came out. I know because I was there. I saw Nirvana in a room of about 2O people and they weren’t even good. Obviously they upped their game later. Classic grunge band. Fantastic song and video. It still makes me get up and dance and in my late 50s.
Grunge had been around since 87, 88 in not just Seattle, Vancouver, Berkely CA, etc.
I remember driving home from a job late one thursday night in the early 90s and hearing this in the car next to me...WOW....i looked over and the driver was rocking..never forgot it.
Literally one of THE most impactful songs in music history. Put an end to 80s hair metal and thrust grunge and alternative rock into the mainstream overnight.
Btw, it was released in September of 1991.
we have very simailr usernames and i was like i DO NOT remember writing that
@@matthewcalladine5894 lol
More Nirvana.... "Heart Shaped Box", "Come As You Are" and "In Bloom"
R.I.P Kurt! Grunge wasn't just music. It became a way of life, the fashion, the hairstyles. I'm forever grunge!
Same... I feel like I've been in the wrong last few decades lol , growing up thru the 90s was the best time of my life. It'll never be the same😔
@@fenderfox5080 YUP!! Long Live Grunge!!!! It hit me HARD, in a way no other genre has ever done! So grateful to have been 20 when Nirvana and Pearl jam came onto the music scene! What a time it was....
It was a fad. And it wasn't that great. Disco lasted longer. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Maga make america grunge again!!!
During Covid-times I live my late Grunge life, no douching, no changin clothes, too much drinking, too much beeing depressed and too much happiness. ;)
It's a joke. There was a deodorant in the early 90's called "Teen Spirit". Had to do with someone saying Kurt "the lead singer" smelled like teen spirit. This is grunge rock that came out of Seattle, Washington in late 80's early 90's. Suggest you check out the rest of the "Nevermind" album. Songs Lithium, In Bloom, Drain You, Polly, Something in the Way, On a Plain.
Best song of theirs... Something in the Way.
@@eviltoasterpastry Bet you never heard this Nirvana Song...
th-cam.com/video/MQZw3Sv5kfU/w-d-xo.html
@@CelticSpiritsCoven isn’t this them covering a kiss song?
Yes. So many great bands from the Sub Pop label. We had a subscription and would get singles in the mail. I appreciate that now more than ever.
it was the 80s that had this deodorant he wrote this song in the late 80s
This changed music in the 90's for the better.
@@mmmoendo yea but nu-metal gave birth to better music
@@stephenmerasty1420 nu-metal may have been the shortest lived yet most influential era. I get hatred for that opinion much like the one where I think aic is better than nirvana
@@justinwilder3514 You're not wrong there. Can't help but think about limp bizkit when nu-metal is brought up so I can understand that. Still can't deny some of the great music and sounds from deftones, korn, and slipknot.
@@stephenmerasty1420 exactly, or mudvayne or flaw, nu metals short lived bands would have killed it any other era!
Nope
Kurt is an amazing screamer. RIP. 27 Club.
Nirvana WAS the 90s. Like, this is the beginning right here. This song.
Of course, you're getting a 90s vibe. Nirvana is credited with launching Grunge into the mainstream.
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
Oh well, whatever. Never mind.
A denial, a denial...
Yes Kurt was and still is my high school crush! Love his screaming voice👍👍👍Grunge is not dead.
RIP Kurt🙏💙
bruh how have you not heard this!!
Next one... Nirvana unplugged "where did you sleep last night". There is so much great Nirvana!
Another great version of a Leadbelly song.
Agree! Their version, and Kurt's voice, is incredible - soul penetrating and other-worldly.
Nirvana unplugged - when MTV did its little last hurrays.
I watched it on MTV and I loved it. The first Nirvana album I bought was in 1991 - Nevermind -
right after this I was lucky to buy the first album Nirvana released - Bleach -
and then - In Utero -
Still have all 3 of them.
Saddly I don't have - Incesticide -
That was Kurt transcendent and he died shortly after the Unplugged set where he did 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night?' Shockingly good.
Made me feel a little old there, I was an 80s baby and the grunge era was what helped me through my depressed teenage years. It's amazing to think that a genre of music that seems mostly about depressing topics helped me through some really bad depression, especially considering how many grunge artists ended up. Also I had so many plaid shirts and ripped jeans, I was so sad when my favorite plaid shirt finally fell apart (so soft and comfy).
I remember being blown away by Nirvana when they were on MTV unplugged with their covers of "Where did you sleep last night" and "The man who sold the world" (though David Bowie's original is still my favorite version). There are so many great grunge bands out there. I would recommend Pearl Jam (Jeremy or Alive), Stone Temple Pilots (Vasoline or Plush or Interstate love song), Temple of the Dog (Hunger Strike), Soundgarden (Blackhole Sun), Bush (Machinehead), Mad Season (River of deceit), Screaming Trees (Nearly lost you), and of course Alice in Chains (Love hate love or Nutshell).
Ilove 70s 80s and 90s 🤘😎
I'm right there with ya sister. Before discovering country music, grunge was on of them that helped me through the depression most.
Funny thing is I listen to this while doing dishes and sweeping!!!! It makes it so much more fun!!
Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (MTV Unplugged) 346M views
Yes! This is a good one. And About A Girl. It was about Tracey the girl he lived with and shared the Teen Spirit with! The deodorant 🤣
Kurts voice is amazing. They had so many great songs.
For a completely different vibe from Nirvana: “Where Did You Sleep Last Night”. Do the video from MTV Unplugged in NY. Kurt’s greatest vocal.
It was actually mocking teen herd behavior. Something that's been around for generations. 'Teen Spirit' was a popular deodorant specifically targeted at teens at the time.
Rob, time to react to The Doors..."Riders on the Storm" or "LA Woman"'...you owe it to yourself to listen to a band that will cement your love of rock music.
I’m not sure where he gets his channel name but his name is Jay.
@@thebookmeister8266 you know damn well this guy's heard this song before everybody's heard it
Hell yess
Welcome to grunge rock. I didn't think you would like it but it's cool that you do.
You got the head banging down.
Think of how you were not liking James making you listen to Thunderstruck. Look how far you've come in such a short time. You are a true rocker now! 🤘
This CD by Nirvana "Nevermind" was released my senior year in college and I fell in love with the music and band instantly. I would play this CD on repeat along with Pear Jam's CD Ten.
In bed for a week due to back agonizing pain but, I'm definitely BLESSED. Happy to hear you are too.
I'm held up in bed unable to walk now too. Glad to know we're not alone in than. I hope you are better soon!
This band changed the entire world. I love your channel! Amber is an amazing addition to the channel love you AMBER !!!!!!
React to Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box
One of my cousins was wearing a Nirvana band t-shirt & I asked him to name 3 of their songs - He struggled, but he did it 😝
I'm absolutely loving the fact that not too long ago...Jay (listening to Creep): I'm dont think I'm gonna like rock! Now hes jamming to grunge...welcome aboard buddy!
The most important moments in the history of music. Nirvana changed everything.
That song buried 80's rock and I have been stuck in the 90's since. Good reaction!
This song is the beginning of Grunge. It's my understanding that Kurt Cobain didn't like that term (Grunge), but the sound and look of this video (as opposed to the hair bands of the time like Motley Crüe) changed the world. Nirvana, Peal Jam, Alice in Chains, and Stone Temple Pilots came out of nowhere and changed everything for the 20 year old, snot-nosed version of me.
and also SOUNDGARDEN!
Grunge music at its BEST.
R.I.P. Kurt...It was a life style, grunge if in a genre...A lot of talent thru the whole band...Thanks J. Peace
Just heard that Lloyd Price, who sang "Stagger Lee" died today. RIP, legend.
I sure am glad you reacted to Nirvana!!! I'm excited about this one. Grunge is my favorite genre. RIP Kurt. Teen Spirit was a deodorant back in the day his girlfriend at the time wore so he just used hers. His friends would mess with him, "Kurt smells like Teen Spirit " lol
Songs to try out by Nirvana
Come as you are
Lithium
Heart Shaped Box
All on Nevermind Album
Also try the MTV unplugged since you're a 90s kid you may remember those? Chill vibe but extremely cool.
About a Girl
Lake of Fire
Anything on those 2 albums you'd probably like.
In Utero is less polished album but so good! 🔥
I heard an interview by a hair metal artist--I forget which one--who said that he knew his career was over when he heard this song. He knew that the 80s was 100% dead. If you want harder, go with Motorhead "Ace of Spades."
I think that might have been Vince Neil from Motley Crew. Not sure though.
SLTS puts "Ace of Spades" to shame.
Nirvana's in the air tonight.
And now you’re prepared to enjoy the piece of art that is Weird Al’s ‘Smells Like Nirvana’.
This song is such a headbanger for me. This was revolutionary. It legitimately changed the landscape of music of the 90s and 00s and is STILL seen as legendary to this day. That's Nirvana for you.
Historic song! Changed the course of music. 🤗
Now just for fun go listen to the Weird Al parody Smells Like Nirvana
This song is absolutely amazing 🔥
Absolutely love this song and love Nirvana even more. They have so many bangers that you always have a variety of their songs to choose from. I’d recommend, “In Bloom, Heart Shaped Box, The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie cover) and many more. Great reaction to an iconic song 👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👋🏼💜🇨🇦
THE OFFSPRING "COME OUT AND PLAY" & "SELF ESTEEM"
You saying this gives you 90’s vibes fills me with some emotion that I don’t think there’s a word for
This song went hard!!! I love Kurt’s voice too.
You mentioned about how that man was playing his guitar, and it reminded me of an interview i read with the 70's Canadian band GUESS WHO. They commented their song American Woman was written on the fly in the middle of a concert. The guitarist broke a string and was replacing it. Noticing the dead air he started playing before that was tuned and told the singer to sing something, so he started making up lyrics and the song was played with one string out of tune.
PS... the drummer is famous...
Played on KILLING JOKE (2003) and is front dude for that wee outfit called Foo Fighters
I was in the Army stationed in Germany when this hit. Every club played this multiple times a night from my experience and every time, the floor was packed. It's one of my favorite songs now.
It gives you the 90's vibe because it is the 90s vibe song. It brought a whole new genre of rock to the attention of the world.
I suggested this awhile back so glad you did it!!!
Nirvana and other bands were my memories of college and grunge & alternative rock remain my favorite genre today. I still listen to their songs almost everyday.
You should watch and listen to Weird Al's brilliant parody video of this song, named Smells Like Nirvana.
One of the bands that started saving me from a lot of the sucky 80"s rock I had endured! Rock on KURT!!!
WHAT! I like the 80’s.
This song started a whole different generation of music. Epic. Our brains exploded.
I distinctly remember the first time I heard this song and it really changed my life in a way? Odd to say, but it is true. You just knew it was special.
Great reactions Jay😀👍❤️✌️🌼
Kurt had so much pain and so much energy and power. RIP
Anybody remember Love's Baby Soft? Teens smelled like that when I was a kid.
OH I remember Love's Baby Soft!!! Although Kurt didn't actually write this about the "Teen Spirit" deodorant. The name of it just inspired the lyrics. He was quite a joker!!! Hehehe!! :)
@@michaelgilbert197 I only knew it as a perfume sort of thing. I wasn't allowed to have it. Waaah. I was so deprived. ;)
I loved that perfume!
@@adamsgrad93 hee hee! I was wondering if anyone was going to know what I was talking about. Thanks!
@@michaelgilbert197 he did and didn't. His girlfriend Tracey wore it so he used hers. His friends would mess with him and say " Kurt smells like Teen Spirit " but he does say he wasn't thinking about that. In the 90s rarely did a song match the title anyway.
I was a teenager in the 70s. While everyone was disco dancing I was looking for the loudest and hardest rock I could find. By the time this group came out, I was in my 30s. I found the whole grunge music scene very refreshing after the weird 80s stuff.
I dig it that you dug it! Nuff said!!
This redefined music! I was a teenager in the 90s and I remember when this came out. It blew up everywhere!!! Some of the best bands came out of the grunge era.
I was in high school when Nirvana and this song came out... So much changed after, it was amazing and still is!! I was devastated when Kurt Cobain died, to lose that much talent so young is always rough. I recommend "Come As You Are" but you really can't go wrong with much of anything they do.
Yes, this is 90s Grunge Rock that started in Washington state and became very big and all I can say is WOW!
Love it, brings me to my youth. Do come as you are
One of the best and most underappreciated songs by Nirvana is Aneurysm. You will not be disappointed.
Nirvana "Come as you are" is my favorite. ❤️
You got him mr. Rob!
No he actually said” here we are now, entertain us” alluding to him going to concerts or performing anywhere that’s what he felt people wanted from him
Nirvana was slightly before my time, but I still loved this song, everything I loved rode the wave this song started. It optimised what it was to be a teen in the 90s. And dude, Jay you making me feel so old here man.
Great REACTION 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 NIRVANA!!!
It came out in 1991, so no surprise it gives out 90's vibes.
Talent at it's finest!!!
The Beatles play on the Ed Sullivan Show. Queen performs at LiveAid. Michael Jackson drops Thriller. Nirvana comes out with SLTS. These are just a few of the pivotal moments in 20th century music history. So many more great performances and events many of us have been witness to. I remember when this video first came out and thought... yes, this one is going to be replayed for the next fifty+ years.
He was everything He is everything
Greatness resides in the ability to connect to listeners 30 years later.
This song changed the course of music at the time. There had certainly been plenty of alternative rock prior, such as Jane’s Addiction and even Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but this was the first to hit the main stream and gain the attention of the popular consciousness. The whole movement was a rejection of the superficial hair metal and rock scene of the time, such as Van Halen, Skid Row, Poison, Motley Crue etc… their songs mostly being about mediocre love, girls, money etc etc and nothing personal… the whole philosophy of the alternative / grunge movement was to be a lot more personal and driven by the music and passion behind it rather than commercialism and superficial nature of the music it took over from. It was music from the heart that it’s audience could relate to.
And of course, there was the ironic consequence being the commercial success of the band… this led to all sorts of dramas… one of which was of course, the tragic death of Kurt.
Oh, an ex girlfriend of Kurt, sprayed ‘Kurt seems like Teen Spirit’ on his bedroom wall, referring to a deodorant of the time…. He liked that! :-)
Have a listen to ‘Jane Says’ by Jane’s Addiction if you get the opportunity.
90's song gives 90's vibes to a 90's baby. Welcome, we've been missing you.
I had Nirvana's "Nevermind" on a cassette tape and I listened to it almost every day when I was in high school.
I was 13 in late '91 early '92 & first time I heard/seen this video on MTV, my mouth was wide open I was just hooked, listenedto it everyday and bought the album, yes this had a massive impact on me and it was the undertone of the 90s.
Crazy I know but I didn't get turned on to Nirvana until I turned 60! 😂 I was listening to rock station and they started playing Nirvana and I became a fan! 😅
When you say Nirvana automatic Best Grunge rock 🎸 ever r.i.p. Kurt🤘✌
It's the seminal 90's grunge band, they were at the forefront of the grunge movement. Have you ever heard of Courtney Love? That's his widow. In April 1994 at the age of 27 the lead singer Kurt Cobain took his own life with a shot gun leaving a wife and young daughter. The lyrics are "With the lights out, it's less dangerous, here we are now entertain us, I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now entertain us a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido,Yeah, hey!"
Goose bumps. “Here we are now, entertain us.” Does this not describe America today?
Lol he says "with the lights out its less dangerous" and "I feel stupid and contagious"
My kids wore Teen Spirit. Hearing this song i can smell it. Memories come to life. 😊
Nirvana to Grunge is what James Brown was to Soul. They were one of the, if not founding bands of the genre.
I always am glad Jay reminds me to hit the like👍
one of the best groups, best album, and best song to come from the 90s
I just read the lyrics while listening to this and it appears to be complete gibberish!
That said, I still freaking LOVE IT!
I LOVE UR MISHEARD LYRICS. thats the beauty of nirvana, you can mishear his lyrics and it still amounts to the same thing!!!
Turned MTV on and dropped to my knees the first time I saw this!
Im black and from the Caribbean but when this song dropped we were literally rocking out rip legend
They was big in the 90s . Great song. Love your channel.
Years ago I worked in a plastics factory & we were allowed to play music while we worked. I had an MP3 CD that I made that plays every song once at random on my portable stereo, and it lasted the whole shift.. It had great bass, too. My songs were a great mix of rock, pop, soft rock ballads, dance, RnB.......... My machine went down one time & the tech was working on it. This song was playing & I could tell he was getting annoyed. As they went into the 3rd verse, he knew that the chorus was coming up again & he almost started yelling at me. He told me to turn it down or off, in a harsh voice. LOL!
I love it when you say that song is going on the phone.
This song & album changed music... yes, in the 90's!! This was the first CD I ever bought. Listened to Nevermind over and over and over. This is one I'm sure your girl has heard before. This song was so freaking huge when it came out. It was everywhere. RIP Curt. Check out "Where did you sleep last night" from MTV Unplugged. It'll literally blow your mind. Your girl probably hasn't heard that one. It's a cover. The drummer, Dave Grohl, is the lead singer & guitarist of Foo Fighters. I was able to see them live in concert before Covid struck... and he is also a great live performer. Been loving these guys for a long time & still listen to them all the time.
I was in my senior year of highschool when this came out. At the time it felt like a unique blend of anger, apathy, and amusement. I imagine that many of my peers have their own differing feelings on it as well. Welcome to essentially the quintessential GenX theme song.
Cobain's wife, Courtney Love, was in a band called Hole. They had some good stuff too.
