I'm Dutch, I can't speak for other countries, but in my country Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' was and always will be THE soundtrack of the 90's generation. And not just for the Grunge-kids of that era, but for all who were teenager in that particular decade.

[@GlitchintheMatrixMultiMedia]

Oh ya, that is the case almost everywhere. This song launched grunge into the limelight, ended 80's music, and changed the face of music for the next decade at minimum. Thanks for the comment.

What makes Nirvana stand out is Kurt's writing. Underrated as a writer. That is why they are one of the best. You do not define a generation with your music, you define it with your words. Like Dylan. Like Beatles. Beach Boys. Etc. The best had the best writers.

[@paranoidplane9799]

Dude that is so freaking right. Kurt was in many ways the Dylan of generation X.

[@drainpig894]

Someone else who's REALLY underrated as a writer is Martin Gore of Depeche Mode.

The producers of that show demanded the band sing live, but not play their instruments live.

We wear flannel cause it's cold and wet here in Seattle not as a fashion statement

[@RussellTelker]

I was never a Nirvana fan, but Mother Love Bone (and the tribute Temple of the Dog), Pearl Jam "Ten", and Soundgarden all bring me back to early high school.

[@BLaCkKsHeEp]

"The more videos we do, the more i realized i failed you." LMFAO!!! Dont worry dad, you're bringing her up to speed.

[@nicolasfalcon2568]

You had to live thru the 80’s and hair metal to understand how this song changed everything......I’m not surprised this 13 ur old was emotionless after hearing it 💯

[@chrislain1349]

Check out Nirvana's "Lounge Act" or "In Bloom"....she'd like those as well!

[@GlitchintheMatrixMultiMedia]

Yes, more to come on grunge for certain, thanks for watching.

[@christinaFaith84]

"I failed as a parent". Yes you did. Try harder. It's not too late!!

[@paullord3549]

The botched on purpose performance he was on about was when Nirvana performed on Top of the Pops in the UK. Curt didn`t take to kind to being told the group would have to perform to a backing track rather than playing live.

[@Sleepy_DOOD1701]

It was top of the pops and they done it in protest because they were asked to lip sync. Which is good considering what we know now about that show. I'm 22 and Scottish so I have this strange connection to Nirvana because Kurt loved some of the bands from my City Glasgow and suffering from depression his lyrics and voice really speak to me. I love how into it you are and how you're trying to share this love of music with your daughter

[@neriahmontgomery5566]

I can understand everything he says lmao 😂😂 top 10 favorite songs and I’m younger than his daughter. This is a really really good song 🙃😌

[@hollycarey8426]

Ahhhh... I was in my prime. 19 yrs old and they still make me feel the same way today. Legends.

[@agrxdrowflow958]

This channel is screaming Gen-X. Love it.

[@blancobaseballbreaks2525]

I was about your daughters age when this song broke, and yes it was the changing of the guard with this one. Pixies rock, huge influence on Kurt cobain and the direction he took nirvanas sound. And you haven't failed your child, their generation has failed themselves

[@corykroneman9740]

Krist did not get knocked out, he did get hit in the head with his bass though. They where playing lithium at mtv music awards 1992.

[@julia.no.X]

Her opinion - literally 3 seconds on two occasions each time. He is just so engrossed in it. It's his reaction more than anything. Also, if my parents sat me down to listen to their favourite music when I was 13, not sure how that would turn out - she is really patient with her old man.

[@raphil.4149]

When your Wive loves Pixies you did everything right in your life

[@kfp87]

Agreed

[@deoppressoli-bear2600]

My kids would never sit and listen my boring anecdotes. She deserves a medal.

[@user-ib5fi4rr4p]

Definitely react to Foo Fighters, accoustic and original of Everlong, Pretender, Times like these, etc...

[@ocdoc726]

When I heard this song for the first time, I had no explanation. We knew nothing about them and it was plenty mesmerizing. The more we heard it, the more we wanted. Maybe she doesn't need to know so much about it ahead of time and if there isn't much reaction you can still talk about the history afterwards. I do agree that it isn't bad to give a sense for where the song fell on the timeline of music and culture though. Unfortunately, music isn't brilliant anymore and now we just nerd out at how great the music used to be. Whole albums were brilliant and now we barely get half a decent song... suuuuuuckkkks!

[@Sadarsa]

"Still don't recognise the drummer?" **looks at the guy covered by smoke and only sees a lot of hair flopping around** Is he the guy who played Cousin IT?

[@Amanda_21]

Seven years ago, I was her age and I already knew this song by heart while I’m French ! I loved Kurt’s voice so much... And even today I can’t get enough of it!

[@extracaliber432]

Thanks, gonna play the Weird Al version now.

[@thakimster4183]

It amazes me that's there's people who have never heard Nirvana before. Like I was 5 when Kurt died but I grew up listening to them...my kids listen with me now too.

[@oyuyuy]

I really don't like that you sound let down whenever she doesn't love a song. It's not reasonable to expect her to share your music taste. All you can do is to share the music. PS. And to be fair, there's no way anyone could recognize Grohl from that video. I doubt even his own mother would know it's him, all you see is someone with long black hair.

[@laurenbeaudoin7138]

Teach them young. My husband and I are 80to90 kids and my 17yr old likes everything we show her

[@noveltybobel]

When you listen to a song like this for the first time, it's about the experience of the song, how it builds up and sucks you in, you become immersed in the melody and the words. It's an experience which should be savored. You ruined her first experience of this song by pausing at a pivotal moment right as the chorus is about to drop, just to say some stupid shit about Al Jankovic.

[@AngelGarcia-oy3yj]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ultimatetrishbhatia]

It isn't that special of a song. Iconic, yes, but it's not something to be "experienced" especially if you're not from the generation this song originated from.

[@Dr.eeeeeeeeeeevil]

@@ultimatetrishbhatia to each their own, but i woudnt expect your brain to expand on that so ... fuck it nothing means anything to anyone.

[@SWHAF]

this song and this band changed rock, before this glam rock and hair metal were on top. and overnight it died. this song pushed Pearl jam, Soundgarden, Alice in chains and so many more bands into more peoples radios.

[@bevieann61]

Love Nirvana! This was awesome!

[@GlitchintheMatrixMultiMedia]

Thanks so much!

[@iainamurray]

The performance you refer to when he messes it up is from the UK when they did "Top of the Pops". Famously, most acts were told to mime singing and playing the instruments and KC took exception to this. On this occasion, they were told to mime the instruments, but he was allowed to sing. Him being weird and messing it all up was his protest at being told they had to mime. He was a great proponent of live music by all accounts.

[@jakemortinson3310]

Okay that explanation of where the term "teen spirit" sounds like you once heard the story and then forgot. "Kurt smells like teen spirit" got spray painted on his bedroom wall by one of his girlfriends friends because his girlfriend wore teen spirit deodorant, however Kurt had no idea it was a brand of deodorant and thought it sounded cool, and it was years later someone pointed out to him that teen spirit was a deodorant.

[@EasyModeFishing]

I hate that the KZbin version has a shortened solo because the solo is the best part of the song
