This is arguably one of the 10 most influential songs in rock & roll history.

30 years later and my heart still beats faster to this song.

i love how dave grohl beats the drums like they owed him money. a lot of money. on every track.

Dave Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana and after Kurt's death, he founded Foo Fighters. Give it a shot dude, it's one of the great rock bands!

"Going from sadness to absolute rage" perfectly describes most of GenX

“Here we now. Entertain us.“ Rock classic lyric.

55 years old here. If there's one song that defines my youth, its this one.

You can't understand how monolithic this song/album was for us 90's kids... before this it was all hairmetal 80's vibe and all of a sudden we had our own voice ! It was literally an explosion 💥

The first half of the 90s was such a great time in music growing up - Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Pearl Jam, Alanis Morissette, Soundgarden, Bush, Hole, Metallica, Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, R.E.M., Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, Live, Massive Attack, Portishead.

In 1994, Dave Grohl filled in on drums for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on SNL. After the show, Tom Petty said he'd never been in front of a drummer who hit as hard as Dave did! He was thrilled by the way he played.

The reason this song is so great is because it was kinda of a call to arms for all the teens in the 90 that felt dislocated and had no voice in mainstream media. It is more like an anthem than anything else really

Mind-bending that it’s been 30 years….Truly.

Grunge bands are a great rabbit hole

This is what a movement sounds like. A rock revolution for the young teens of America circa 1991

@christianwilliamson9752 3 years ago

It's a little bit difficult to state how iconic this album was when it came out it basically ended the glam rock and hair metal scene basically almost Altogether overnight this album is great. Bleach. In utero is amazing.

Gen-X'er here. Another reason that Nirvana took over the airwaves was because of the sound of other songs at the time. The #1 song just before Smells Like Teen Spirit was by Bryan Adams and was a love song. Smells Like Teen Spirit heralded the exact moment that the Boomers lost the culture war to the new (much angrier) generation. Oh... and Come As You Are is a wonderful Nirvana song as well.

A lot of Kurt's rage, and pain in his voice came from the fact that he was in actual physical pain. He had untreated gallstones. If anyone has ever had them, they know how incredibly painful they are. I miss his gift. Imagine what could have been. RIP Kurt. ❤

The drummer on this album and the unplugged concert is Dave Grohl. He's a phenom, also has a band called Foo Fighters that is pretty essential if you love Nirvana.
