When I heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the first time back in the day it just felt so right. I don't know why, but it did. Like the world had been waiting for that song. The 80s were just over, new stuff, fresh stuff was breaking onto the scene from everywhere. I was abandoning the hits of my teen years, which were much more in the Pop genre. And then Nirvana came along and crushed it all. I bought the Nevermind album and listened to it a lot. But that also concluded my journey not only into Nirvana, but also into the whole Grunge style. Somehow, I never connected to any of the other bands from that genre. Instead I got into Heavy Metal. In the 90s. Weird.

Another amazing thing about this entire album is how it has changed the spelling of a word. Before the late '60s, "all right" was two words and only two words. Then, Dylan and The Who changed the word to "Alright" in song titles and that's now become the way the word is spelled. Similarly, Nirvana's "Nevermind" is what most people think of as "never mind." "Nevermind" means "concern" (ex: pay that no nevermind) where "never mind" means "scratch that," "forget it," etc. When we're using websites or certain applications, we will have the option of hitting a button for OK or CANCEL and many websites have thought of clever new words to use to make the experience feel more personal like "Hell Yeah" or "Nahh." I was, very recently, on a FedEx website where I had the option to CONTINUE or NEVERMIND. The second option should have been NEVER MIND but, because of Nirvana (and English's nimbleness) the wrong word has become the right one.

Most beginner guitar players first Nirvana song they learn usually are either "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Come As You Are", "Lithium" or "In Bloom". The very first Nirvana song I learned was an obscure B-Side from the February 12-26, 1993 Pachyderm Studios, Cannon Falls, MN "In Utero" Sessions and was released In December 1993 on the All Apologies/Rape Me Single, the B-Side "Moist Vagina" was the very first Nirvana song I learned on Guitar... (now I can play Every Nirvana/Cobain Solo Home demo songs)... As I have been playing guitar for 22 years. I always write my own Original songs (Vocals/Guitar) In my own band... Which is a cross between In Utero (And Steve Albini Recording Technics) and Sludgy songs from Bleach. Mixed with Kurts 1988 "Montage of Heck" Sound-Collage & 1968/1969 the Beatles "Revolution #9" and the Lo-fi of 1993 Wu-Tang Clan's debut Album "Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers". I consider my musick to be "Independent-PunK & Sabotage" "Anti-Corporate" and "Rawcore". I recorded some of my album In a Analog-Recording Studio using a Reel-to-Reel tape there's only about 8-more tracKs left to be recorded then It will be professionally pressed and released on CDs & Phonograph Vinyls...

Hungry for stories? Mine is really embarrassing but oh well. Had moved back to Olympia in 90 from NYc, corporate legal editing on Wall St. Moved into the woods in a little dome. A friend came by one night and forced me to go to a party she said 'was important'. I think it was out on Delphi Road, it was dark, country roads with high trees. I was really sensitive at the time, sort of introverted. When we got there, the music was deafening in this house, never even made it from the kitchen to the living room where they were playing. All I could think was, the poor birds trying to sleep! I slipped outside and went down the long drive to the swinging gate, cars were parked along the side of the narrow road all over, but no one was outside. I leaned up against the fence and just took in the air, the stars, the beauty of the night. At some point the music mercifully stopped. Not long after this guy came bounding out of the house alone, he was all ecstatic. He sat on the swinging gate, lit up a smoke, and talked about how great it was to play, he was just so excited. I will be forever grateful for that moment, and that I just smiled, happy for him. I wish I could recall more of the conversation, it was just natural banter on a perfect night. ~ Yes, it was Kurt Cobain right after signing with a label, just playing a big party with the rest of the band (who I never saw, as I never made it to that vibrating room past the kitchen). And here they are, this monumental pivot in history. This song, my God.

If there's not a word picture what's my motivation to the tune? Also, Jack, you made some awesome points on count shifts and notes missing; that to me is a huge part of Nataly's Pomplamoose Magic: she speaks that fluently, don'tchathink? Nick yeah, the basslines - really appreciate all you said in this session, man - your own genius showing here.

This session changes everything for me, and just only brings me closer to the place where you 4 have probably been for years...so I am now just joining this Parade in Progress...really a great discussion; very enlightening, exciting and now to share it around...Thank you for another huge lesson and options to reflect upon.

A few amazing older songs that also do that quiet to loud thing at times are Queen's "We Are The Champions," "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney, The Beatles' "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds," "Never Break The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith's "Dream On" and "Lola" by The Kinks.

I recently listened to Nevermind and I still find the simplicity of the songwriting super inspiring and it's in my brain every time I'm writing a new song. Always tryin to push it to be simpler.

This was really cool to see people STILL dissect this classic from a technical and historical standpoint. Thanks for posting. I'm new to this channel and this was a delight to watch. Fun AND educational is a hard balance you all have found it. I still can't believe Dave Grohl's statement about his drumming being basic. Him pointing out the intro to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a disco beat that he basically learned from listening to The Gap Band STILL blows my mind. Lol. Thanks again.

That rumor about him writing his lyrics right before he went on stage pretty much came from him. He said in several different interviews something similar to doing things like that.

The insight to the lyrics is pretty telling, as Kurt thought of the voice as an instrument rather than just a medium for lyrics.

In my first band, my co writer was a classically trained musician that could play multiple instruments.Being an uneducated novice who literally invented tunings and lacked rudimentary formal skills, I constantly asked him how everything from time signatures to chord structures worked, but he was adamant in not teaching me.He insisted that my ignorance was why he played with me, because I came up with fresh and impossible ideas. When I heard Nirvana, I heard material similar to my own attempts; they weren't the first, but I found it hard to beleive that people seemed to appreciate it,- finally.NFN, my first influences were the Beatles and Johnny Cash; then I discovered the Stooges and the Pixies.

This is such a classic!!! My favourite lyric is "Hello hello hello how low" so clever. I lived in England when this one came out. It was the jolt the music industry needed at the time. Similar to The Sex Pistols for me in many ways.

Are the lyrics sad though? Kurt had a great ironic sense of humor. I think this discussion missed the humor around lines like "I found it hard, was hard to find/Oh well, whatever, never mind." It's like he starts a thought, decides to rephrase it and then gives up. He's making fun of the very idea of meaning.

@@andresbarriga5305no it’s not? it’s a reference to when Kathleen Hanna spray painted “Kurt smells like teen spirit” referring to how he was with her bandmate, Toni Vail, at the time, and she used Teen Spirit deodorant, he didn’t even realize it was a deodorant until after the song released, so he claims.

Love this show and love Scary Pockets!! One thing I wish you addressed is how they kinda brush the open strings between chord changes at time, which creates a sort of pickup note, particularly when he goes back to the 1 chord. Sounds like 7 to the 1 in a weird way.

Love this series so much! Reminds me a little of Andrew Huang's "4 Producers" series. Suggestions for future episodes: Rhye (how are they so funky and soulful and classic at the same time?); Silk Sonic (pretty much same questions); Pomplamoose mash-ups (would love a behind-the-scenes of the musical discussion - different than the "how we film it/how pomplamoose works video")

at 8:10 that stuff is quite clever. If you start that lick other way around, it is almost the same than police and ambulance sirens melody. In here it is there but it is not, such a way that its hard to notice but it definetly brings up some emergency vibes and tension.

Such a good song... the reason I think, which also adds to your great explanations, is the fact that younger minds are less restrictive, we do worry too much once we get older... Teens get REALLY intense, confrotational, explosive, and then... whatever, nevermind... all the worries are gone. No wonder so many people relate

They would play this song at school dances and the entire gym would become a mosh pit. Everyone I knew grew their hair out and started playing guitar. If you were of a certain age when this song came out it changed you permanently. Great discussion!
