Kurt Cobain wrote this song for Nirvana; it came together in a jam session when he played it for the band. He said: "I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off The Pixies."
Kathleen Hanna, the lead singer of the group Bikini Kill, gave Cobain the idea for the title when she spray painted "Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit" on his bedroom wall after a night of drinking and spraying graffiti around the Seattle area. In his pre-Courtney Love days, Cobain went out with Bikini Kill lead singer Tobi Vail, but she dumped him. Vail wore Teen Spirit deodorant, and Hanna was implying that Cobain was marked with her scent.
Hanna explained that early in the night, she was Cobain's lookout as he spray pained "God Is Gay" on the wall of a religious center that they believed was posing as an abortion clinic and telling women they would go to hell if they aborted their child. They got quite inebriated that night, and Hanna said, "We ended up in Kurt's apartment and I smashed up a bunch of s--t. I took out a Sharpie marker and I wrote all over his bedroom wall - it was a rental so it was really kind of lame that I did that. I passed out with the marker in my hand, and woke up hung over." Six months later she got a call from Cobain, asking her if he could use what she wrote on the wall for a lyric. Said Hanna, "I thought, how is he going to use 'Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit as a lyric?"
Cobain didn't know it when he wrote the song, but Teen Spirit is a brand of deodorant marketed to young girls. Kurt thought Hanna was complimenting him on his rebellious spirit, as someone who could inspire youth. Sales of Teen Spirit deodorant shot up when this became a hit, even though it is never mentioned in the lyrics.
This was the first "Alternative" song to become a huge hit, and in many ways it redefined the term, as "alternative" implies lack of popularity and the song was embraced by the mainstream. In an effort to save the label for acts like Porno For Pyros and Catherine Wheel, some industry folk referred to the genré as "Modern Rock," which became a common radio format. "Alternative" became more of a catch-all for music played by white people that didn't fit the Pop or Country formats, and Nirvana quickly became a "Classic Alternative" band.
With this track, Nirvana helped ignite the "grunge" craze, which was characterized by loud guitars, angst-ridden lyrics, and flannel. Grunge was a look and sound that was distorted and emotive, led by bands coming out of the Northwest. Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were other top Grunge bands of the era. Cobain would often dismiss the term as a meaningless label when asked about it in early interviews, but their bass player Krist Novoselic explained that it was a growling, organic guitar sound that defined it.
Cobain said he wrote this song because he was feeling "disgusted with my generation's apathy, and with my own apathy and spinelessness." This feeling of detachment is what led to lyrics like "Oh well, whatever, nevermind." Krist Novoselic added: "Kurt really despised the mainstream. That's what 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' was all about: The mass mentality of conformity."
The video was a huge hit on MTV. The concept was "Pep Rally from Hell," and it was shot at Culver City Studios in California on August 17, 1991, directed by Samuel Bayer, who was a 1987 graduate of the New York City School of Visual Arts. The kids were recruited at a show the band played two days earlier at The Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, where flyers were handed out saying, "Nirvana needs you to appear in their upcoming music video. You should be 18-25 year old and adopt a high school persona, i.e. preppy, punk, nerd, jock. Be prepared to stay for several hours. Come support Nirvana and have a great time."
The shoot took more like 12 hours, with the extras ordered to sit in the bleachers and look bored while the song played over and over. Said Bayer: "Nobody wanted to be there for more than a half hour, and I needed them for 12 hours. By the 11th hour when the band had had it with me and the kids were so angry with me, they said, 'Can we destroy the set?'" Bayer let the kids come down and form a mosh pit, and with all that pent-up energy they proceeded to smash up the set. This impromptu and genuine destruction provided a nice finale for the clip.
The video was inspired by the movie and song
Rock And Roll High School by the Ramones, and was also influenced by a 1979 movie called
Over the Edge, which was a favorite of Cobain and showed rebellious kids destroying a high school.
According to Bayer, Cobain was getting very frustrated with the shoot, but Bayer needed another take. Cobain channeled his frustration into the performance that you see near the end of the video, where he is screaming and mashing his face near the camera. It was great acting trigger by his real anger.
Bayer did the
first edit of the video, which Cobain didn't like - he used a principal character in a lot of shots and cut it too literal, with the music synching up to the playing. Cobain worked with him to recut the video and make it much more surreal, inserting his crazy look as the second to last shot, and making sure that for his guitar solo, his hands were in the wrong place on the guitar.
The girls who played the cheerleaders in the video were originally supposed to be very fat and unattractive (Cobain's idea). The Director Samuel Bayer did not like this idea, but still allowed the cheerleaders to have "sleeve" tattoos and the symbol for anarchy on their shirts. He says he recruited them from a local strip club, which helps explain their unorthodox cheers. (thanks, Chris - Louisville, KY)
Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of this called "Smells Like Nirvana." He shot his video in the same gym with the same janitor, but in his video, the janitor was wearing a tutu. Cobain said he was flattered by the parody: "I loved, it, it was really amusing." (thanks, peter - Montreal, Canada)
The distinctive bridge was originally at the end of the song. Producer Butch Vig had them move it to the middle.
A lot was made of Cobain being a spokesperson for Generation X when this song became a hit. Cobain responded by saying, "I don't have the answers for anything. I don't want to be a f--king spokesperson." Producer Butch Vig explained, "That ambiguity or confusion, that's the whole thing. What the kids are attracted to in the music is that he's not necessarily a spokesman for a generation. He doesn't necessarily know what he wants but he's pissed. It's all these things working at different levels at once. I don't exactly know what 'Teen Spirit' means, but you know it means something and it's intense as hell."
The line "Here we are now, entertain us" was something Cobain used to say when he entered a party.
In a sign of the cultural apocalypse, the February 20, 1992 issue of
Rolling Stone magazine featured the cast of the TV show
Beverly Hills 90210 with the tag line "Smells Like Teen Spirit," turning Kurt Cobain's diatribe against the culture of conformity into a convenient headline for a story about a TV series about rich kids. Here's
the cover.
For a while, MTV refused to air the video. When they finally did, it was on their alternative show 120 Minutes. When the song became a hit, the video went into hot rotation.
The album cover shows a baby swimming toward a dollar bill. Cobain and Nirvana bass player Krist Novoselic had seen a documentary on underwater birth and wanted to use that image on the cover. Pictures of babies being born underwater were too gross, so they hired a photographer to take some underwater shots during a water babies class. The baby they chose was Spencer Elden, who was 4 months old at the time.
At many of their later shows, Nirvana did not play this song, helping root out the people coming just to hear a hit.
Courtney Love deliberated a long time before allowing this to be used in the 2001 movie Moulin Rouge. Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, who along with Love control the Nirvana catalog, claimed Love was trying to get the title role in the movie, which went to Nicole Kidman.
The opening guitar part is a small variation on the main riff of Boston's "
More Than A Feeling." This was noted by a
Rolling Stone magazine writer years later, but not as an accusation of plagiarism. Influences and similarities like this are everywhere in Rock music. (thanks, Redstar - Redding, CT)
The Nevermind album title is taken from the song's lyric: "And I forget just why I taste / Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile / I found it hard, it's hard to find / Oh well, whatever, never mind."
Dave Grohl recalled to
Mojo magazine March 2011: "Teen Spirit definitely established that quiet/loud dynamic thing that we fell back on a lot of the time. It did become that one song that personifies the band. But the video was probably the key element in that song becoming a hit. People heard the song on the radio and they thought, 'This is great,' but when kids saw the video on MTV they thought, 'This is cool. These guys are kinda ugly and they're tearing up their f--king high school.' So I think that had a lot to do with what happened with the song.
But do I think it's the greatest single of all time? Of course not! I don't even think it's the greatest Nirvana single. And compared to
Revolution by The Beatles or
God Only Knows by The Beach Boys?! Give me a break! Smells like Teen Spirit was a great moment in time… but there's better."
A version by Miley Cyrus performed by the pop singer on her Gypsy Heart tour topped
Rolling Stone's 2011 reader list of the top 10 Worst Cover Songs of All Time. It was so bad that it even outranked Britney's much-maligned version of "
I Love Rock and Roll!"
Tori Amos covered this in 1992. She was on tour when Cobain died in 1994 and performed her version 2 days later at a show in Dublin. Patti Smith also recorded the song for her covers album Twelve.
The song was re-released as a limited edition 7-inch vinyl single in December 2011 for an online campaign to get it to the Christmas number one in the UK Singles Chart. However, the track only reached #11 - four places lower than the peak originally scaled by the song 20 years previously.
The band's producer, Butch Vig, heard this song for the first time on a low quality cassette recording the band made. He couldn't make out much of the song because it was so distorted. When the band started rehearsing it in the studio, however, Vig heard the potential in the song. He made sure it was the first track on the album, since it made a statement. Vig told NPR: "Even though we're not really sure what Kurt is singing about, there's something in there that you understand; the sense of frustration and alienation. To me, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' reminds me a little bit of how Bob Dylan's songs affected people in the '60s. In a way, I feel the song affected a generation of kids in the '90s. They could relate to it."

(you may need to drink atleast a six pack, and a couple shot of tequila, after being up at least 24 hrs, or so to hear this. or not)
original line, hello, hello, hello, hello
last chorus,
hello, hello, halo, hell no
The rif is Blue Oyster Cult "GodZilla" as is the bend in the tune wah waaah, wah, waaah from Godzilla
"Here we are now, entertain us" was something that Kurt Cobain was saying when he entered a party.
Kurt was anything but selfish too.. he did what he thought was right for the band.
and yes Jean from Puerto Rico Courtney did murder him!!
2. In case you dudnt know, Kurt had a funny point of view in life and he mocked a lot of things. In this he was making a mockery of teens :p
3. Awesome song. First song i learned to play entirely.
4. YES COURTNEY LOVE KILLED KURT.
5.:) i get carried away
What some Cobain haters here don't realize that KC singlehandedly killed the 80's "hair rock" band look, and destroyed big careers of big bands almost overnight. Why?
Because Cobain was TRUTH in ROCK - and that is showing unabashed PAIN in who you were and what you thought you were. No other band has had the ability to really push the dirt level rawness of a musical story than Nirvana.
As far as Grohl making supposedly bad remarks about Kurt, what he was saying is that the style of the Foo Fighters is different than Nirvana, and more commercial... and that's true. Nirvana was hard to listen to beyond their five best songs. The rest was horrific pain from Kurt that didn't spell commercial success.
what he was trying to say and it is a real inpration
to me and my generation...of course i was a baby at the time i discovered it and loved it!
Love you Kurt.

Even from under the cultural rock where I was in the early 90's, I had heard OF Nirvana and the whole north-west, Seattle, grunge thing. I knew they were big on mtv and a couple of radio stations I didn't listen to. I was a busy late 30's, family raiseing, married guy working 50 hours a week at my main job as an pd/md/at and ae (hah, it was a small place) at an AC station in NNY. I wasn't watching a lot of mtv at the time. So, the first time I actually HEARD this song and the band (and all that)was from the booth of a roller rink. One of my 2nd jobs. I jocked there 2 nites a week in the winter of '91 - '92. One of the kids brought me the cd, I didn't know any of it so I just cued the first track. Believe it or not, the sound quality in a roller rink dj booth is not always that great, with a hundred or so people rolling by you on 8 wheels each in a wooden acoustical nitemare, and I thought "this is noise". But the energy of it's impact, instant and almost troubleing, on the kids was un-mistakable. It made me remember what it felt like to be young and deeply affected by music, but also think that kids seemed much more violent and angry these days. Maybe age takes the edge off memories of being mad. I don't know but I would get asked to play that song probably 25 times a nite, and spun it at least three or four times and the line that would be stuck in my head on the way home was "..I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us.."
This song (and saddly, K Cobain) are among those few that come (and go) along every once in a while and become cultural icons. I would go on to discover the rest of Nirvana, and like most culturally iconic songs, it is not my favorite of the groups' but it was, with no doubt, it's most impactfull. And a great tune to dj with at the time.
Today, after hearing it so many times in the past, this song still feels fresh and, for lack of a better term, arouseing, to me(of course,now i'm listening under slightly better conditions;)
i love this song,ITS MY ANTHEM!!
He's declaring his denial that he could have AIDS, and is having free and easy sex without caring about the possible consequences. Millions of teenagers do it everyday. Kurt was tuned into that.
"A DENIAL, A DENIAL" means "no way, I don't have any disease, let's make love" - which he translated to the carefree days of sex before everyone (including the condom industry) pushed wearing condoms.
Personally, Nirvana passed me by in the nineties, music never bothered me when I was a teen. I like their stuff but I'm not bowled over by it. If kurt didn't like his success he should have done what Kate Bush did, have a couple of hits and fade into the background.
Read the lyrics and you'll see almost every verse is a veiled comment on AIDS. I put the lyric interpretation in parenthesis (like this):
"Load up on guns and bring your friends (everyone bring booze and drugs to the party)
It's fun to lose and to pretend (even if you think you're a loser, pretend you're cool, being cool means "who cares what people think?")
She's over bored and self assured (the hot chicks are bored, and want to have sex with bad boys)
And all I know are dirty words (I'm a bad boy, so I get the hot chicks)
"Hello, hello, hello, how low? ("How low" can a person go?)
"With the lights out, it's less dangerous (Have sex in the dark without a condom, it seems less dangerous)
Here we are now, entertain us (disdain and cynicism for sex education and warnings about AIDS - sneering at the authorities, makes them laugh "entertain us")
I feel stupid and contagious (I am horny so I don't think about the consequences that I might have AIDS and might give it to someone)
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto (CIA secret testing of AIDS virus on Africans - look it up)
An albino (Albinos supposedly are immune to AIDS - look it up)
A mosquito (The AIDS virus was spread in Africa by mosquitoes infected by CIA germ warfare spooks - look it up)
My libido (My sexual urges can't stop me from from having sex even though I might have AIDS)
I'm worse at what I do best (I'm good at sex, but I might have AIDS so that makes me 'worse')
And for this gift I feel blessed (I'm so good, that nobody asks me if I have AIDS before we have sex)
Our little group has always been (all my friends sleep around casually)
And always will until the end (we have sex until the disease kills us all)
"And I forget just why I taste (oral sex)
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile (likes reaction of partner)
I found it hard, it's hard to find (male/female sexual organ comparison)
"Oh well, whatever, nevermind (casual sex has no answer, it's just done without thinking)
A denial! (Don't worry, I don't have AIDS and I won't catch AIDS)
Kurt was never said to have AIDS, but wrote this song definitely laughing in the face of the heavy paranoia of AIDS and the history of how AIDS supposedly came about. The sleazy hooker cheerleaders and the teenage abandon in the song video backs up this song interpretation. I wrote this interpretation when the song came out, over 17 years ago.
R.I.P Cobain
instead of "Oh no, I know a dirty word"?
In the intro Kurt says:
This song was written by a woman called Tori Amos.
The music is great and it is so simple. The lyrics according to Moby are insouciant. This is basic hard rock the way it should be.
A couple of things I'd like to correct from above:
The mosh pit didn't develop at the end of the day. It started at around the second take of the crowd's actions and disintegrated from there. In fact the director (Sam Bayer) make a huge gaffe in that he did a "practice run" but didn't film it.
During the practice run the crowd on the bleachers actually made a pit on the bleachers themselves. This was never repeated because by the second or third take all that kept happening was camera hogs running up in front of the camera to ensure on-screen time.
So that whole thing about the kids getting angry because it was a long day and then wanting to destroy the set because of their anger is B.S. I didn't see anyone who was angry. Just rambunctious. It's not like they didn't feed us.
Additionally, the set was comprised of a sweep, drum kit, a basketball hoop, and bleachers. It's not like you could really destroy anything other than the drums. The hanging from the basketball hoop was encouraged because it was good film -- not because teen angst got in the way.
Another thing that's mistaken above is that I believe the cheerleaders were just regular actresses (not strippers). The tattoo sleeves were makeup. This was really cheesy. It would have made more sense to have had L7 as the cheerleaders, but maybe they were on tour at the time.
On the what's true side of the equation, flyers for the shoot were handed out at the Roxy show and Chaka was a very well known graffiti artist at the time.
I find it funny how Kurt didn't know what Teen Spirit was.
He makes the name work tho.
Smells Like Teen Spirit will live on.
the lyrics dont really mean anything, just saying sort of like "what are we supposed to do" when 'we' is a collective term.
also, it sucks how people listen to this one song repeat like 300 times and are like zomg i love nirvana im such a hardcore person! dikeads. SLTS isnt even their best song, its just a radio friendly unit shifter.
;)
Courntney was too stupid to plan his murder.
Look at the song Heart shaped box.
He mentions the zodiac.
"she has me like a pisces when I am weak."
He mentions pisces which is his zodiac sign.
He says in his suicide letter
"Im just a sensitive, unappreciative pisces."
It shows how this letter is genuine because it has personal connections with him and his lyrics.
And he talks about guns and has a picture with him with a gun in his mouth.
He was probably suicidal most of his life
and displays it in his music.
He was addicted to drugs
dealing with personal issues and fame problems.
He says so many times how he hates mainstream and how sometimes he feels like a sell out.
He wrote it in his suicide letter as well.
He killed himself.
Thats what happened.
s feet, i think he was murdered
Okay, only reason I could think of that would have killed himself is because he was married to COURTNEY LOVE. I would kill myself. -_- Except, I would not leave all my money to Courtney Love. Who would?
THERE IS NO WAY ON ANY EARTH THAT KURT KILLED HIMSELF. Before you make your own opinion, take the damn time to read the FACTS.
its taken from the film "The Blue Lagoon"
check it out
at first I didn't believe it, but go to Wikipedia, search "Kurt Cobain" and scroll down until you find "Suicide Dispute" this will totally disprove the suicide theories. its sacry. After reading it, you'll see that it was IMPOSSIBLE that Kurt committed suicide
if he killed himself, then none of this stuff could hav happened.:.:.:.:.
There was not a single finger print on the shot-gun. This indicates that it was wiped. Now if Kurt shot himself there would have to be a finger print, belonging to him, on the trigger. There wasn't.
The amount of heroin found in Kurt's blood after the autopsy was very high. Infact it was so high that the toxicologist stated that a person under the influence of that bigger doseage would be totally incapacitated. He said that there is no way Kurt would have been conscious, let alone been able to write a note, load a gun and pull the trigger.
Marks on Kurt's body idicated some kind of struggle before death occured. The puncher wound left by the needle used to inject the heroin was deep and messy, indicating the needle had been stabed into the flesh, as if by another person.
The suposed suiside note makes no mention of Kurt killing him self or atempting suiside. The note is more like an appolagy for leaving the band Nirvana. The last 4 lines appear to have been added by someone else, handwriting experts agree this and the ink in the last 4 lines was fresher and different to the ink on the rest of the note.
Courtney had tryed to hire a hit man to kill Kurt before for $50,000. There marrige was over according to friends and witnesses, Kurt was talking about changing his will and writting Courtney out of it and leaving everything to Frances. This was witnessed by the Nanny.
A stool was used in the investigation, which it was said that Kurt used to block a door. The door used had no access from the outside anyway.
The blast patern left by the gun shot indicates Kurt was shot/shot himself whilst laying down on his back.
but yeah this is a great song! not nirvanas best but truly awesome. if u want to see more about kurt you can visit my webpage[[this is the nirvana page]] by going here.
http://pic3.piczo.com/irock2100/?g=9288912&cr=3
(watch the drum head in the music video)
Over played, But a great song none the less.
~justice for kurt~...(yeah he was MURDERED)
Nirvana's a top band. & Nevermind is one of my fave albums.
I honestly have no idea what this song's about. It reminds of wild parties tho...and losing yourself =]
In "Smells like Teen Spirit"'s riff, the change from the 2nd to 3th chord is unique and that's what makes this song incredibly awesome. I understand some guys can get confused (actually some friends of mine use to play it in the wrong way and they couldn't note the difference!)
To bad about cobain, he could of made some more really awesome songs....
I also would like to note how AWEFUL Tori Amos's acoustic piano version bull s*** was, nobody should be trying to cover a song so great as Teen Spirit unless they're gonna play it how Cobain wrote it, with the heavy overdrive guitar and everything
NO PIANO FOR GOD SAKES!
i like 2 get together with like 10 of my frends on a saturday night @ like 10:00 and wake up the whole neighborhood with 10 guitars on 10 amps playin full blast with a drummer...its awesome
The lyrics match how i feel..."I feel stupid and contagious here we are now entertain us." Its how i feel about my parents, they treat me like i'm stupid and refuse to b near me
kurt cobian said he was pleased with the good review
As for Kurt Cobains death have any of these conspiracy people on here got any proof to back their claims, if not just say "I THINK Kurt got trampled by a stampede of raging kangaroos"
Besides probably being the song that contributed mostly to their success (due to excessive ariplay it recieved on MTV), the song is subtly criticising the apathetic herd instinct of youth. The irony is that the very people it criticises are the people who actually like it. For the people who can actually understand the meaning, its an amazing song.
Personally, being a Nirvana fan I feel insulted when people tell me they like Nirvana and then tell me they've only listened to SLTS.
Also they appeared on the "Jonathan Ross Show" when the sound failed and they trashed the set its amazing footage.
Sometimes a suicide? Is JUST a suicide, dudes.
Oh, and great song (not the best Nirvana one) but it appears everything about it has been said. I felt it was an ironic reflection of teen tired of apathy of his/her generation and lack of engagment by their parents.
"American Pie". She was not trying to rip anyone off, or do anything better than anyone else.
yet the mainstream loved it? It was one of the most popular songs in the 90s, and even now it is still very well known.
It reminds me of "Spit It Out" by Slipknot, which was about how this radio station kept bashing the band. The song ended up being played on that radio station regularly.
Not everybody knows of and not everybody loves it, the girls next door to me (Who are 13 and 15) have never even heard of Nirvana, nor have their boyfriends or any of their friends. I guess the song is a self forfilling prophocy. Lack of atttention span and dis regard for the past arew certainly here, because average teenagers don't even know this song, it's pitifull. I know kids whjo havn't heard of Nirvana, Kurt, SLTS, Grunge, or hell, people who don't even know what Led Zeppelin is. Thats gross...
How could Kurt Cobain have shot himself???? When he was out deer hunting with Big Foot don't you see what happened Big Foot rolls with the East Compton Crypts and some Bloods saw them fools and started shooting Big Foot carried Kurt off to Santa's house in the North Pole so he could live with Elvis, and Tupac... Note also that while it isn't confirmed Jesus could be with them as well...
"here we are now entertain us" was about kurt turning up at parties and saying that line
i much prefer the boxset version(butch vig remix)
And Tanya you are right, the first few Beatles albums were crap, and they only began getting really good several albums down the line. Nirvana may have been able to do this, but you can't give them credit for something they never did. We will never know if they would really become innovative.
Thats the last time i post a message this long.
Read the book about his life. Not riverting stuff but if you are into Cobain then go for it.
He seems to have loved The Beatles a lot.
Cobain could not sing for Sh*t. He could not play guitar for sh*t. HIS LYRICS ARE NOT THAT OUTSTANDING. there are wayyy better lyricists such as Bob Dylan. Smells Like Teen Spirit is not a great song. Its just an average song which becomes unbearable after the 3rd listen.
Pearl Jam blows Nirvana out of the water.
ps
I was a complete skeptic about the murder theories "this is all conspiracy theory bullsh;t, let him rest in peace." but i got the book Love and Hate as a gift and I read it and there are a lot of unexplained coincidences, and the investigators immediately jumped to the suicide conclusion without fully investigating. Maybe Kurt can finally rest in peace once ALL options are investigated, and we know once and for all what happened in that greenhouse.
tada.
me and my friends are trying to start a court case. We need to prove that courtney love is the killer of
Kurt Cobain. We all know this, and there is a lot of proof showing that this is wht hapened,
1. when he was found dead, he had 3 times the lethal dose of heroin, so is it really possible that he would be able to pick up a shotgun, which is fairly heavy and be able to aim it at his head and then even if he managed that would he be able to pull the trigger? think about it
2. kurt was in the process of filing a divorce when he was found dead, was this courtney getting revenge? i think so, and was the male nanny at the house, michael dewitt also involved for a high payment, because of the low salary he recived? i think so
there are many more peices of evidence
if you want to see them please visit www.cobaincase.com
thanks guys and we need to put this criminal Courtney Love to Justice.
theevolution4285@aol.com
This is evident in the first three songs off Nevermind.
Load up on guns... (SLTS)
He's the one who like all our pretty songs and he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun, but he knows not what it means (IN BLOOM)
And I swear that I don't have a gun (COME AS YOU ARE)
Somebody please help me!!! I need to find out about "Smells like teen spirit" means. I read the lyrics and read this message board..... but still can't figure out what this song really means .... especially the first verse. Thanks
This song came out when I was about 14 and it was as if Cobain new exactly how every teenager in the world felt.Even if you werent a Nirvana fan, you felt a connection with the song. It was the ultimate teenage anthem then and it seems like it still is today.

"We came in one day and they played a rough mix of it and were like yeah this rocks" Krist
And just a comment: Kurt Cobain HATED playing this song.
Rest In Peace Kurt Cobain
Mennen, the makers of Teen Spirit deodorant, attempted to capitalize on the song's success in advertisements made after the song topped the charts. The ad was aired during an episode of Saturday Night Live -- the musical guest that night was, of course, Nirvana.
This song is about how teens cant just focus on one thing.
Goes to show how nieve I am
