How 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' Changed the World

Why has all the seminal rock music disappeared from the charts? Rock is dead. Or at least that's what the music press have been telling us for the last half decade. There's not been a genre-defining rock act that has gripped the public consciousness in forever. Crunching guitar-based music is mostly gone from the charts. Hip-hop, day-glo pop and synths are the new dominating force. A lot of these RIP Rock articles envision a shake up. A new sound that is going to make "rock music" culturally relevant again. Simply put: We need another Smells Like Teen Spirit. But what made Teen Spirit so essential anyway?

He makes it seem like he doesnā€™t care about the lyrics, but if you read his diary he really did care, he just kinda kept that ā€œi didnā€™t careā€ vibe

Even my dad, who grew up listening to the Beach Boys and was almost 40 when Nevermind came out, heard Smells Like Teen Spirit and thought that it was a big deal and bought the album shortly after its release.

What's funny is I knew the song. And one day I was with my girlfriend and she needed deodorant (and other things), so we went to the store. I went down the aisle with her, and I saw that deodorant called 'teen spirit' and said "oh that's funny, the deodorant is named after the nirvana song...clever". She said "no, that deodorant has been around longer, I think". So I thought "no, the song can't possibly be based on a deodorant" lol. I love little epiphanies like that. :) great video!!

I still insist that ā€œhere we are now, entertain usā€ is the most prescient rock lyric ever written. View it now in the context of youth culture today. Astonishingly relevant.

There was something almost magical about ā€œSmells Like Teen Spiritā€. As a longtime lover of music, itā€™s one of just a handful of tunes in which I distinctly remember the first two times I heard it. The first two times I heard it was on Tulane Universityā€™s student-run radio station WTUL. It was in either late August or early September 1991. Both times I was in my car driving very close by Tulane U on Broadway. When I heard it I thought it was the musical equivalent of my generation. Honestly, thatā€™s exactly how it struck me. After the 2nd time I went right into a nearby indie record store (The Mushroom) and described the song for Mike. He knew exactly what I had heard. He said ā€œYeah man thatā€™s Nirvana. Theyā€™re out of Seattle. Album is called Nevermind.ā€ And he put on ā€œCome As You Areā€. That was it for me - I was hooked.

The thing about "smells like teen spirit" is that it's kind of just like a big joke on the idea of a rock pop song. It's deconstruction of the genre is so effective as to be invisible, in short term at least. Today ppl don't even know what rock music was, or why people loved it. Cobain came from a generation that was able to witness incredible performers in concert at their prime. But now it's all just a blank slate at this point...

It is funny how people always seem to say "(whatever) is dead." Yes the way Nirvana influenced society will never happen again as it is unique to the concurrent circumstances. However, music will never "die." Rock is alive and well and people twenty years from now will look back and say "man rock is dead, they don't make them like they used to." Our brains love nostalgia and place the past on a pedestal, sometimes deserved and often times not.

Rock, punk, grunge, metal Or in other words: any bands like led zeppelin, greenday, nirvana or metallica will never die, even if we need to wait 20+ for it, we will alwats get another one
