Fun Fact: the Drummer of Nirvana is Dave Grohl the singer of the Foo Fighters. Could you do Pretender by the Foo Fighters it would be nice. Thanks your Freddy
And the rest. His session musician list goes on and on. Killing Joke Tenacious D Queens of the Stone Age He’s played with Metallica and Slipknot too. Also Queen (I say Queen, just May and Deacon) He’s also credited like 100 times more on bands tracks/has co-written so many songs but hasn’t actually performed on them.
Personally, I agree with your description as being their anthem. And for me, after all these years, I never get tired of hearing it. Only the folks in the car next to me...maybe. haha Love your reactions ladies 😊
My 1990s flannel-wearing Seattle soul is so giddy. I love that the welcome sign for the town of Aberdeen (Washington) pays homage to Kurt Cobain. "Come as You Are"
Why is it called 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'? At the time Kurt was dating a girl who had the words 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' painted on her bedroom wall he thought that it would be a good song title. WHAT HE DIDN'T KNOW was that 'Teen Spirit' was a Girls deodorant targeted at teenage girls at the time. And "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the slogan on the commercial.
I thought it was bc one his girl friend wore it, so someone(cant remember who) would always say kurt smells like teen spirit when he came back from hanging out w her.
@@sleepyboy2371 I remember my explanation from a documentary I watched. I may have got a small detail wrong but largely it should be correct. Both could be true.
@@jwec9867 the other guy was right. both Dave and Kurt were dating bikini kill members Kurt was dating Tobi Vail who wore teen spirit deodorant. Dave's girlfriend said "Kurt smells like Teen Spirit" to imply Tobi marked him
Nirvana took grunge to the charts, but lets not forget the bands that came before them, Soundgarden, The Melvins, Green River/Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone (great band)

@@addy3164 He still probably would have done heroin. Krist said that he got a call from him the first time he did heroin. And he pinpoints it in 1986. He also probably was a janitor at that point as well.
I LOVE you two!! I’m adopting you as my grannies! Absolutely Nirvana’s anthem and yes, I always play air guitar and nod my head. Let’s have a beer together and check out Green Day- Basket Case, American Idiot or Jesus of Suburbia.
Great taste grannies! Nirvana was one of the bands coming out of the emerging grunge scene around Seattle along with Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and numerous others. Check out one of Soundgarden's songs (Black Hole Sun, Spoonman, Black Days) - you won't regret it! Chris Cornell was an amazing singer.
This was 1992. I was in 12th grade. This song freed us all. Even teachers knew this song. Even the mentally challenged kids in special class knew every word of this song. It's not Nirvana's anthem. It's a whole generation's anthem!!! Gen X, here we are now,.. ENTERTAIN US!!!! Two Rockin Grannies need to hear School. It's my favorite Nirvana. Should've known better, it's just my luck,... no recess. NO RECESS!!!
Drummer is Dave Grohl, the singer from Foo Fighters. He also plays the drums for Tenacious D’s albums and for some of Queens of the Stone Age. You two should check out No One Knows by Queens of the Stone Age and Beelzeboss by Tenacious D
Nirvana's first album was by Sub Pop records. It was called Bleach. Nirvana had went through so many drummers. When they finally got signed to Geffen Records and was ready to make this album, they had to search for a new drummer. So they found Dave Grohl, who had to learn everything that previous drummer had already done for all these songs. What pressure! Dave was supposed to be the shy quiet one because Kurt and Kris was really the band. After Kurt died, it was like a year later when Dave Grohl released his first Foo Fighters album. It was incredibly weird seeing Dave smiling on the cover photo, because it just seemed that he didn't give Kurt respect. But Dave made some pretty good songs from that first record. He played every instrument on that record AND sang. He only formed the band after the album was released.
Great intro to Nirvana guys!!! But now you've opened up a huge box of other great songs to react to. We all cant wait to see more NIRVANA with our grannies!!!!!
Thank you for finally doing Nirvana!! New (49 year old) subscriber here! Great reaction. So wonderful seeing you enjoy yourselves! Love to you and yours! 💕
I saw them live back in 1991 at Saint Andrew's Hall in Detroit. That show remains the loudest concert I ever attended! I also broke my arm in the pit at that show and kept going!
I have never smiled so much while watching a Nirvana video, and I AM Gen X! I was 18, Freshman year of College, when this video/song came out... I LOVE Grunge Music and all that it represented... And now I have a whole new reason to love it! You are both amazing!!!
Also you should check out the video where nirvana was supposed to play smells like teen spirit live for mtv, but they were told they had to pretend to play. Kurt sings totally weird to troll them, and they all fake their instruments so obviously. It's hilarious!
The Drummer, Dave Grohl is so fun to watch drum. Nirvana and most of the Foo Fighters emerged from different punk scenes (Dave's most well known for Scream out of VA/DC, NOT Seattle.) He was the first drummer who was able to sing back up and harmonize with Kurt. He is now very well known for his scream. He is the hardest hitting drummer around. People argue that he is not technical, but he will go down as one of the most highly influential drummers of our time. He has also developed skill over time - he was 22 when Nevermind came out. Even though he's been front man in the Foo Fighters for 26 years, he still considers himself a drummer first. He learned how to drum listening to punk music and drumming on his pillows in his room. I highly recommend the book The Storyteller by Dave Grohl to get a sense of him. But there is SO much more. He has also done some incredible side projects. Take a look at Them Crooked Vultures (drums) and Probot (most instruments.) Would be great to review them as well as his time with Queens of the Stone Age, and he just did a song with Mick Jagger virtually bc they were bored in lockdown. He has played or at least knows EVERYONE in the business and still considers himself a fan/regular guy. His fan base is rabid, but like a family. Everyone gets along and no one gets hurt. Fans take care of each other and accept each other and he loves when we sing his songs back to him. He has kicked people out of his concerts for fighting (although there are plenty of bands that will stop that shit.) He also has a habit of letting a fan up on stage and play the drums or guitar for a song. Look up the Metallica one at the Foo Fighters concert. I was busy worshipping (and meeting!) David Bowie when Nirvana was out so ignored them. Life was happening during Foo Fighters, but one of their songs recently triggered me to save myself and I am now a devoted fan. Respect. Whether you like them or not. Kurt was a genius in his way, and Dave is a genius in his. Both were high school drop outs and never expected fame - they just loved music and were incredibly talented. To this day, Dave cannot read music or teach someone to play drums bc he just does it.
The idea of the video was that they wanted it to be a "pep rally from hell" at a high school which is why you saw cheerleaders, students in bleachers and the custodian. Nirvana is my all time favorite band and they have many amazing songs/videos. I definitely recommend Heart-Shaped Box or In Bloom as I think they are the most compelling videos visually (along with them both being great songs) ..of course Come As You Are, Lithium and You Know You're Right are also great. Love that you were both so into Nirvana, they mean so much to me. :)
Good ole Grunge music!! :) Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog... There are others I listen(ed) to but my mind just went blank. Love the Weird Al suggestion, too. :)
For some of us the 1990s began with this song, and ended with Marilyn Manson's Fight Song and Disposable Teens. And then the Nobodies... which is still relevant.
Smells Like Teen Spirit became an anthem instantly. Rolling Stone magazine made a list of the 500 greatest songs in history (1950 onwards, I think) and Smells Like Teen Spirit ranked 9th. Nirvana played Where Did You Sleep Last Night on MTV Unplugged and is nowadays one of their most reacted songs on TH-cam, considered one of their greatest classics and it is on their Greatest Hits album. You should check this one out.
Since you've reacted to this, you should check out "Smells like Nirvana" by Weird Al Yankovic. Just something a little different and fun to brighten your day. Rock on ladies! \m/
This was an anthem for a few generations that grew up from divorced broken homes and outcasts that could feel the pain in the lyrics just like later with Korn,Papa Roach and Linkin Park because they sang about things we experienced
2 out of the first 3 comments already indicated the drummer of Nirvana is now lead singer and guitarist of Foo Fighters (by the way can't go wrong going down that rabbit hole) but it just feels like you have to state that on a Nirvana song for some reason (I mean if Dave Grohl had enough arms he wouldn't need band members to play live with he is quite capable of recording the whole band solo in fact he did for the first album)
A Grannie saying "Grunge" was worth the price of admission. Kurt was keen on not explaining his lyrics, he wanted people to interpret them they wanted to "it's your crossword puzzle" he said.
Incesticide is my all time favourite album from Nirvana :) In Utero is almost tied though, both are definitely what I’d use to introduce someone to Nirvana. Album wise anyway! Although I do love them all for different reasons. First ever song that I heard was Drain You (from Nevermind). I remember other songs I first heard were Sappy, Territorial pissings, aneurysm, heart shaped box. Then a little later Love Buzz, and Floyd the barber. So many sounds, I was totally addicted before I even knew Kurt had passed away. Broke my heart although I was ten years too late. I found out at the age of 12 back when Bebo was a thing.. someone actually told me at school and I was devastated. Anyway, favourite band and the reason why I play guitar to this day :) great video
Just for fun in your own time....you should check out Weird Al Yankovic's spoof of this video...SMELLS LIKE NIRVANA! He used the same set the original video was filmed on. The same janitor. And a bunch of the same kids that were in Nirvana's original video. Very funny...
Nirvana played in so many underage clubs when they started, they joked about, when everyone raised their arms jamming, all you could smell was Teen Spirit deodorant 😁
Based on this, I think y'all would really like Concrete Blonde. They're not quite grunge, but I think they're a decent companion to the genre. They were an alt-rock band in the 80's and 90's (Though they leaned a little goth on the Bloodletting album). By far their most loved song would probably be Bloodletting (The Vampire Song).
This was the first CD I ever bought and still love it to this day. I think you all would get into my favorite band Norma Jean. They are are a lot like Nirvana but 10 times heavier. Check out this song Sword in Mouth Fire eyes
Love you both! Your my mother is in her 70s and I'm not so sure she'd be as open as you lovely ladies. By the way Nirvana changed my life. Literally it's like I came online when I heard Nirvana. They also showed me to love good music as long as it has passion and sincerity. Kurt Cobain was an enigmatic artist. If there is any musicians like this in the past 25 years I haven't found them. I liken 2pac to kurt Cobain. They were both amazing artist who captured the earth. And they both were the realest in there genre. I'm 38 now and I love all the greatest from John Lennon elvis sublime Bob Marley Michael Jackson run mc ll cool j the doors to Korn slipknot and so on..I appreciate the greats and I missed a bunch. But none compares to kurt Cobain 2pac John Lennon Bob Marley jimi hendrix eminem michael Jackson and elvis. The best are obvious sure there are plenty greats like sublime Korn biggie nas tool pink floyd led zeppelin Phil Collins krs one madonna. But not revolutionary.
Intetesting fact: Soundgarden, back in 84' officially started the "Seattle grunge movement" (which started off with style, punk's were staring to rock ripped flannels, dirty converse high tops, mixed matched prints, thumb holes in cuffs, corduroy everything...hence "grungy look"). Soundgarden is definitely more hard rock/metal, same with Alice in Chains ( PLEASE react to some Alice, with Layne fronting though, not Duvall), than the other "grunge" bands. You will both be blown away by Layne's hauntinly beautiful, very distinct & unique voice, & poetry. Grunge is Nirvana...same with Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Screaming Trees (also a killer band to check out), Tad, Screaming Trees, Babes In Toyland, etc.
I'm 71 and still rockin'. I've been rockin' since the 60's. So relieved to see that it's not too late. You're never too old to rock n roll.
still rocking?
Fun Fact: the Drummer of Nirvana is Dave Grohl the singer of the Foo Fighters.

Excellent performance!
Wasn’t their song but it’s good
RIP Leadbelly (1888-1949)
RIP Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)
Definitely one of the best
The drummer, Dave Grohl, went on to form the Foo Fighters, still going strong 25 years later.
After Nirvana he was actually the drummer for Alanis Morissette for a while
lol could'nt tell that was him
And the rest. His session musician list goes on and on.
Killing Joke

He’s played with Metallica and Slipknot too. Also Queen (I say Queen, just May and Deacon)
He’s also credited like 100 times more on bands tracks/has co-written so many songs but hasn’t actually performed on them.

he has been doing drum solo with nandi bushell..lol she is a little pistol

And for me, after all these years, I never get tired of hearing it.
Only the folks in the car next to me...maybe.
haha
Love your reactions ladies 😊
It was just one of their songs, everyone else made it an anthem.
I was sick of it the first time I heard it. POS band.
Kurt came to HATE that song.

Also "Them Crooked Vultures" is another good one. Supergroup with John Paul Jones and Josh Homme if I am remembering correctly.

He should switch to guitar imo 🤪
And put out a demo that got picked up before he even formed a band then goes on to be a multi Platinum artist in his own right
Fun fact when he dropped out from high school he went back to the same school to be there janitor, that is why you see a janitor in the back-round

Still love this song! It was so popular when it came out in 1991 😁
In Bloom is another fantastic tune from Nirvana.

Nirvana played in so many underage clubs when they started, they joked about, when everyone raised their arms jamming, all you could smell was Teen Spirit deodorant 😁
Based on this, I think y'all would really like Concrete Blonde. They're not quite grunge, but I think they're a decent companion to the genre.
They were an alt-rock band in the 80's and 90's (Though they leaned a little goth on the Bloodletting album). By far their most loved song would probably be Bloodletting (The Vampire Song).
Everyone is saying it and I have to agree, Weird Al Yankovic - Smells Like Nirvana ✌️🤘
Lmfao I do love you ladies
This was the first CD I ever bought and still love it to this day. I think you all would get into my favorite band Norma Jean. They are are a lot like Nirvana but 10 times heavier. Check out this song Sword in Mouth Fire eyes
Love you both! Your my mother is in her 70s and I'm not so sure she'd be as open as you lovely ladies. By the way Nirvana changed my life. Literally it's like I came online when I heard Nirvana. They also showed me to love good music as long as it has passion and sincerity. Kurt Cobain was an enigmatic artist. If there is any musicians like this in the past 25 years I haven't found them. I liken 2pac to kurt Cobain. They were both amazing artist who captured the earth. And they both were the realest in there genre. I'm 38 now and I love all the greatest from John Lennon elvis sublime Bob Marley Michael Jackson run mc ll cool j the doors to Korn slipknot and so on..I appreciate the greats and I missed a bunch. But none compares to kurt Cobain 2pac John Lennon Bob Marley jimi hendrix eminem michael Jackson and elvis. The best are obvious sure there are plenty greats like sublime Korn biggie nas tool pink floyd led zeppelin Phil Collins krs one madonna. But not revolutionary.
Shout out to Frances, Courtney, Kurt. 💞💕💞💕
As they mentioned them in their reaction video.
There's a fantastic and very heavy cover of this song by a band called Bruthal 6 that I think you grannies would like
Almost 30 years later this song still rips. \m/
Last song that changed everything. My favorite band. React to their Unplugged. RIP Kurt
Great shirt Nana King, have the same one! =) If you guys love you some Till, check out Lindemann!
This song effectively ended the 80's hair bands and ushered in the new era of Grunge... pretty impressive for just a song you can barely understand.
Intetesting fact: Soundgarden, back in 84' officially started the "Seattle grunge movement" (which started off with style, punk's were staring to rock ripped flannels, dirty converse high tops, mixed matched prints, thumb holes in cuffs, corduroy everything...hence "grungy look"). Soundgarden is definitely more hard rock/metal, same with Alice in Chains ( PLEASE react to some Alice, with Layne fronting though, not Duvall), than the other "grunge" bands. You will both be blown away by Layne's hauntinly beautiful, very distinct & unique voice, & poetry. Grunge is Nirvana...same with Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Screaming Trees (also a killer band to check out), Tad, Screaming Trees, Babes In Toyland, etc.
You remember the song "where have all the cowboys gone?"...There should be a song, "where have all the grunge girls gone?"..I miss chicks like you
