  • Smells Like Teen Spirit Appears in Rock & Pop 2018
    ACCESS ALL AREAS... SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT APPEARS IN ROCK & POP 2018 Released: 1991 Album: Nevermind Label: DGC Records ABOUT THE SONG Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain was attempting to write the ‘ultimate pop song’ when he came up with the guitar riff that would become ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. He WITH THE LIGHTS OUT, wanted to write a song in the style of The Pixies, telling Rolling Stone in 1994: ‘I was basically trying to rip off The Pixies. I have to admit it.’ The title came IT’S LESS DANGEROUS after Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of Bikini Kill, spray- painted ‘Kurt smells like Teen Spirit’ on his bedroom “ wall. Teen Spirit was actually a brand of deodorant. HERE WE ARE NOW, The first single from Nirvana’s second album Nevermind, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ was a surprise hit. The label had anticipated that ‘Come As You Are’, the follow-up single, would be the song to cross over to a mainstream audience. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ ENTERTAIN US was first played on college radio before rock stations and MTV picked it up. It is widely praised as one of I FEEL STUPID AND CONTAGIOUS the greatest songs in the history of rock music. RECORDING AND PRODUCTION Cobain began writing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ a few weeks before Nirvana were due in the studio to record Nevermind. After presenting the main riff and melody of the chorus to the rest of the band, they jammed around the riff for an hour and a half. Bassist Krist Novoselic slowed the verse down and drummer Dave Grohl created a drum beat and as a result, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ is the only song on Nevermind to give songwriting credits to all three band members.

  • Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain
    f Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Kurt Cobain (from top) N irvana By David Fricke The Seattle band led and defined the early-nineties alternative-rock uprising, unleashing a generation s pent-up energy and changing the sound and future of rock. THIS IS WHAT NIRVANA SINGER-GUITARIST KURT Cobain thought of institutional honors in rock & roll: When his band was photographed for the cover of Rolling Stone for the first time, in early 1992, he arrived wearing a white T-shirt on which he’d written, c o r p o r a t e m a g a z i n e s s t i l l s u c k in black marker. The slogan was his twist on one coined by the punk-rock label SST: “Corporate Rock Still Sucks.” The hastily arranged photo session, held by the side of a road during a manic tour of Australia, was later recalled by photogra­ pher Mark Seliger: “I said to Kurt, T think that’s a great shirt... but let’s shoot a couple with and without it.’ Kurt said, ‘No, I’m not going to take my shirt off.’” Rolling Stone ran his Fuck You un-retouched. ^ Cobain was also mocking his own success. At that moment, Nirvana - Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl - was rock’s biggest new rock band, propelled out of a long-simmering postpunk scene in Seattle by its incendiary second album, N everm ind, and an improbable Top Ten single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Right after New Year’s Day 1992, Nevermind - Nirvana’s first major-label release and a perfect monster of feral-punk challenge and classic-rock magne­ tism, issued to underground ecstacy just months before - had shoved Michael Jackson’s D angerous out of the Number One spot in B illboard.

  • Grunge Music in Bloom: Musical Analysis of Nirvana's
    1 Grunge Music In Bloom : Musical Analysis of Nirvana's Hit Gilad Cohen Nirvana's music would probably not be the first choice of music scholars for analysis. Despite the band's tremendous success 1 in the early 1990s as one of the leaders of the grunge genre 2, the band's remarkable significance in pushing alternative music into the mainstream 3 and its influential precedents 4, very few popular music scholars have chosen to investigate Nirvana's music in depth 5. It seems that the band's direct, rough sound with its scream-like singing and thunderous distorted guitar 6, made music scholars believe that there was little room for careful musical analysis. The short, repetitive harmonic successions, the dogmatic instrumental arrangements, the fixed rhythmic patterns and the basic strophic rock-song forms - all seem to thwart any attempt to discover "hidden complexity" and richness below what might be conceived as simplistic surface 7. However, a closer look at the music of the leading grunge bands would unveil unique, innovative characteristics. Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam – all share similar harmonic idioms, in which they present a fascinating mix of using traditional rock patterns from previous decades, while seeking new harmonic possibilities 8. The common use of the Phrygian mode 9, the use of power chords 10 as the basic harmonic unit (which many times blurs the definition between major and minor keys), the frequent cross relations between sequential chords and chromatic clashes between melody and harmony – all became trademarks of the genre 11 . 1 Nirvana has sold over fifty million albums worldwide since the release of their debut album, Bleach , in 1988 (Armstrong, 2002).

Nirvana, with their thrift-store clothes and pawnshop guitars, represented a much-needed return to punk-inspired rock and at the same time validated the indie rock scene that had failed to breach the mainstream in the previous decade. A meteoric rise followed, attended by all of the predictable professional and personal pitfalls. Two and half years after the release of "Teen Spirit," leader Kurt Cobain, age 27, killed himself and the Nirvana: The Complete Illustrated History was over.

Jadranka Zlomislić Osijek, 2014. Korać 2 Abstract This paper explores grunge, a music genre that developed in Seattle, Washington during the 1990s. The aim is to show how grunge contributed to changes primarily in the American society as it moved from underground to mainstream and became a primary pop cultural movement in the 90s. It also became a subculture which has its special characteristics like a certain way of dressing, behaving etc. The paper follows the evolution of grunge from its beginning in the 1980s. Thanks to Sub Pop, an independent record label, and its creators Jonathan Poneman and Bruce Pavitt and their sense for business and self-promotion, grunge moved from underground to mainstream at the beginning of the 1990s with Nirvana’s album Nevermind as a landmark and their single “Smells like Teen Spirit” as the anthem of the Generation X. Furthermore, the paper explores how musicians engaged in different aspects of society like politics, campaigning and activism and how grunge became an essential part of fashion statements and different forms of art such as movies.

  • Nirvana Baby’ Spencer Elden Seeks Justice for Commercial Child Exploitation
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, August 25, 2021 Contact: Jason Novak, [email protected], (203)641-6681 ‘NIRVANA BABY’ SPENCER ELDEN SEEKS JUSTICE FOR COMMERCIAL CHILD EXPLOITATION Attorneys For Spencer Elden Available for Comment (CALIFORNIA) – Yesterday, the Marsh Law Firm filed a federal complaint in the United States District Court in the Central District of California against the notorious grunge band Nirvana on behalf of their client, Spencer Elden, who was the infant subject of Nirvana’s breakout album Nevermind which was released almost 30 years ago. Spencer Elden was exploited as a child and was never able to give consent when a picture exposing his naked genitals was used on the cover of Nevermind – an album that has since sold over 30 million copies. Nirvana’s commercial success was largely due to Nevermind and Nevermind’s commercial success was due to the controversial cover art which depicted Spencer Elden, naked grabbing for a dollar bill that is positioned dangling from a fishhook in front of his exposed body with his penis explicitly displayed. "Nirvana exploited me when I was a baby to sell their music, but there is a person behind every image,” said Spencer Elden. “I'm just asking the band to do what they should have done 30 years ago and redact my genitals from the image out of respect for my privacy. If the world could forget about it, then maybe I could forget about it too.” Attorneys for Spencer Elden from the Marsh Law Firm are available for comment and released the following statement: “Our client Spencer Elden never had a choice.
