      It was an amazing time.. remember reading literally hundreds of articles about them. I recall no stations where I lived would play their stuff because it didn't fit on the top 40, wasn't classic rock, rap, country, wasn't metal, so it didn't fit in, so they just wouldn't play it. Started referring to it at first graciously as the Seattle sound... then as the olders clutched their pearls, Grunge was born screaming into the world 😄

    This song CHANGED THE COURSE of music. It put a merciful end to the 1980’s “hair bands” and “glam rock”’where guys looked like chicks. This ushered in “GRUNGE” with other GREAT bands like Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and other great bands. “GRUNGE” music came out of Seattle, not L.A. like all the “Glam Rock” bands. This song helped change the course of rock and roll.

    What you just reacted to was arguably the band & song that ended "80's Metal" and kicked off "Grunge" in the early 90's. Practically overnight, everyone traded in their black leather and hairspray for flannel. I remember it well. Nirvana was historic. Oh... "Teen Spirit" was a popular perfume back then.

    • @MissyGail4eva

      Smells like Teen Spirit, at I always believed (correctly so, too..though Kurt later deplored his mistaken misappropriation) was a facetiously funny nod to a certain girl's deodorant scent produced by Mennen that was as ubiquitous to the 90's as Bath & Body Works' Sun-Ripened Raspberry body spray, Elizabeth Arden's eau de toilette, 'Sunflowers', and Davidoff's 'Cool Waters'.

    I’m constantly blown away by how fresh Mr. Video’s interpretations and impressions of these songs are! I’m also interested that people are so surprised by his comparison of nirvana to rap. Is it so hard to believe? If you look at old interviews you will find that a lot of rappers, Puff Daddy off the top of my head, liked “Nevermind” a lot. When Mr. Video made the point about the pre-chorus, or whatever you would like to call it, I could definitely hear it as a hook for a banger!

About A Girl and Penny Royal Tea are good ones from there along with The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie cover) and Where Did You Sleep Last Night ( im not certain who the original artist was). They also do Heart Shaped Box which is a good video and Come as You Are is a classic video.
