What Is So Great About The Smells Like Teen Spirit Video?

[FaTaL]

brought grunge to the forefront

plus i love the song, its not the best song on the album but its one of the best of the 90s

Count me in on the "Nirvana was overrated" and "Cobain didn't kill himself" camps.

1. I think Nirvana is alright, but man they are not the be all to end all that alot of ppl make 'em out to be. This song is directly responsible for their success, so I blame this song. I just don't think it's that good, and I think Nevermind is an average record as well. There were so many other, much better alternatives from that era.

2. I read a book on Cobain, and there's just too much mystery surrounding his death. I do not think he killed himself, and I think that that hoebag Courtney had something to do with his death. But that's a conversation for another day.

I don't think the bassist from hole Kristen pfaff od'd either

[StatUS]

One of my favorite Rock songs all-time.

Video is average though.

 

[The Antagonist]

cuz that song and video is the equivalent to jay z's hard knock life.
it blew cobain up. no pun intended.
mainstream cross over.

True. That's why you'll see it atop lists of "Greatest Songs of the 90's" or "Most Influential Songs" and what not, cause it's the song that broke Nirvana to mainstream and the song that launched the alternative sound in the 90's..

No.


Smells Like Teen Spirit embodies what grunge was...it's the equivalent to Straight Outta Compton for West Coast Rap.


When you think grunge, you think Nirvana, and this video.

basically...

I think that video captured the slacker/gen y perfectly. Cobain became the posterboy for kids on the edge and MTV ate it up.

The crazy thing about Cobain's death is some believe Courtney did it. She was heroined out her mind. How could she muster the strength to blow his brains out. I wonder how his fam feels about the many rappers using his name and suicide as punchlines. Anyway, I add his death to the long-list of praised musicians dying in suspicious ways.

While Nevermind is a good ablum, I wasn't that into Nirvana. I was rocking with NIN, Garbage, and Smashing Pumpkins.

 

[Mook]

this aint hip-hop fakkits

neither is nicki

 

[BAMBINO]

Not a big Nirvana fan but i respect the fact that they did whatever the f*ck they wanted...

"So I'mma pull a fukkin' Jeffrey Dahmer/
Now we suicidal, just like Nirvana"

"A man of honour wouldn't wanna try to match my persona/
Sometimes rhymin' I blow my own mind like Nirvana"

Did Cube & Pun think Nirvana was one guy?

While Nevermind is a good ablum, I wasn't that into Nirvana. I was rocking with NIN, Garbage, and Smashing Pumpkins.
