1 of the most iconic bands and songs throughout the grunge scene. The drummer is now the singer for the Foo Fighter's after Nirvana split due to the singer committing suicide. RIP KC 🙏

[@christophertolley2972]

The guitar solo was shortened by half!! Yeah you are right it was edited down.

[@lion_low]

Nuff love To the fam ! Loving you and yours rock reactions and would love to see a reaction to TOOL - "46&2" 🤘🙏 stay blessed and thank you

[@marcusweaver9728]

This song/band flipped the music scene on its head. The 80s were officially laid to rest and the 90s were ushered in.

[@Brunetto46]

AIC did it one year before

[@fabzzpagano8635]

debatable but i agree.

[@Brunetto46]

​@@fabzzpagano8635 Facelift was the first grunge album to be platinium

[@InFiRe59]

Also the Red Hot Chili Peppers

[@echoromeo384]

Alice was definitely the first for sure. Nirvana was more mainstream but AIC couldn't be touched.

[@carihenson8019]

Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box” and “The Man Who Sold the World” are my favorites, “Where Did You Sleep Last Night” on MTV unplugged is also the sugar honey iced tea.

This is THE song of my teenage years. It opened my eyes and ears to all that was grunge. Nearly 30 years later and I love it as much as when I first heard it.

[@keithkinkade4265]

This song and video changed the face of music in the early 90's. You just witnessed one of the biggest rock songs of all time. Their drummer is Dave Grohl who is the lead singer for The Foo Fighters.

[@Stevesrssrssrs]

This was ranked as the number rock video of the entire 1990's!!!

[@inklanois]

Nirvana crushed thrash metal at the time. They also killed guitar solos for some time. Guitar solos phased out at this time in the 90s. Huge era change for heavy music at the time. I was in a metal band at the time, and one concert everyone had Overkill shirts on. Nirvana came out, and the next week everyone was wearing flannel shirts. I remember it THAT vividly.

[@gavinsmommy101910]

I swear the more you react to rock it feels like a true love for rock is being deeply rooted into your soul and I am so thrilled to get to see it 🤘🤘🤘

[@laylagrey5086]

💪💋😎 you're awesome Jessica 💋💋

[@eagleal3]

The drummer formed the foo fighters. He also plays a mean guitar

[@fabzzpagano8635]

he's a good guitarist... better drummer

[@tetrisgoat]

It’s a real shame. He’s such a nice guy, he should find a kinder guitar to play.

[@82metalchic]

You can never go wrong with Nirvana. 🤘🤘🤘 And look at baby Dave.🤣🤣🤣 30 years later and he's still kicking ass in the rock world. R.I.P. Kurt. You've been gone for so long, and yet your music is still loved by millions. ❤

[@dusksatanofinsomnia]

Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box Nirvana - You Know You're Right Nirvana - Lithium Nirvana - Sliver Nirvana - In Bloom

[@fabzzpagano8635]

don't agree with the list but not a bad list. Shoulda included some more shit from In Utero and more from Bleach

[@dusksatanofinsomnia]

Fabzz Pagano I thought I‘ll keep it pretty melodic and at songs with videos, for him to get into them AND THEN he can listen to the good shit lmao

[@raymondott6100]

David Grhol of the FooFighters was the drummer in this video. What a transition from drummer to frontman for the FooFighters.

[@crazylegssw]

Just remembered my 12 year old reaction of seeing cheer leaders with tattoos blowing my mind.

[@romonabrown7330]

This may well have been THE coolest song of the 1990's. I was there.

[@steveparker8065]

It was a great song for parties when it came out as long as you weren't hosting the party, things break when Nirvana are rockin'. Also check out an old Lead Belly track Nirvana covered on MTV unplugged "Where did you sleep last night".

[@sharkbeatz313]

One of the best bands to do it. Dave Grohl is the drummer who is also the singer fir Foo Fighters. Check out Wake up by Foo Fighters

[@laylagrey5086]

Indeed 😎💋

[@fabzzpagano8635]

Hot take: he is better behind a drum kit.

[@adamsgrad93]

Wake Up is called Run

[@consciouscommunity3897]

This video has so many hidden layers. Kurt has a school picture as a kid in a shirt very similar. He said in an interview once that his only friend at school was the janitor.

[@treyannbella9934]

I can’t believe you’ve never heard this, its one of the most iconic songs😂

[@mariaprado391]

Speaking from having grown up in the 90s with a friend circle that listened mainly to hip hop RnB n reggae maaaaaan you throw this on at one of the parties n EVERYBODY is losing their shit! Shout to to NYC n BTHS in the 90s 💛

[@Blizzard0fHope]

this was the song that 'launched' a genre. . . while nirvana wasnt the only, or even the first of what would be labeled grunge bands, they were firs tto make it to the mainstream. . this song shifted the music world in a big way and opened up a wave of new bands and music. . sent all the talent agencies seeking the 'next nirvana'. . so while nirvana wasnt really the best of the grunge bands they were the most important one

[@LFRFAMILY]

*Thank You For That Info!!!* You guys are frickin Awesome

[@pikeinorbit]

1991!!! My freshman year at college with their cassette in my walkman on the bus to soccer games!!!

[@JKM395]

Welcome to my childhood! This dropped when I was in the 9th (8th?) grade, so it hit perfectly for me. That party was basically a big part of my high school experience. When I heard Kurt, I figured out I could do that too. I've been preforming ever since. I don't think there will ever come a day when I don't miss that dude. Anymore of theirs that you would do, I would love. Stay safe. Hydrate. Wash your hands. Listen to more music. This too shall pass.

[@Gibson1961SG]

The first time I heard this I was 11. It came on during some VH1 classic music videos marathon, and I instantly started jumping on the couch and tearing it up. I don't know how some people don't get this band. I loved seeing you get it!

[@Mazecraft]

I was a sophomore in hs when this came out! Fitting it has new meaning in this CV era!

[@mzluna313]

I hope Heaven has a stage and a pit off to the left! Kurt Cobain, you are still so missed! This is a song that influenced an entire generation! It was an awesome time to be young and grunge!

[@psychobetha]

when this album came out, it literally changed the world. and my life 💜

[@PriestessOfNothing]

I remember when this came out, the Earth's polarity reversed. Rock was changed forever. RIP Kurt

[@jarhead4ever1]

This is one of those songs you remember exactly where you are the first time you hear it! Lol

[@DanJackson1977]

Does anyone remember that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a late 80s early 90s ad campaign for a deodorant called Teen Spirit?

[@whatkatiedidnext7108]

Yeah kurts ex GF (not Kourtney) once wrote on the wall of their apartment in lipstick 💄’kurt smells like teen spirit’ because he wore it constantly. It stuck with him and hence the title , love rock history!

[@gnomekilla8071]

My daughter at 7 years old made me get her some when we went to America because its like the song mummy 🤣 that was 9 years ago so I presume you can still get it

[@tetrisgoat]

What Katie did Next Nearly right. A mutual friend wrote that, and he smelled like Teen Spirit because his lady friend wore it.

[@nathankrush3289]

The song that changed everything.

[@Pilutta100]

A denial. I visited SanFransisco 1991. For my 20th birthday. Heard this song for the first time then and was blown away. Nice see ppl reacting to it. Hugs from Sweden.

[@TheBlackQueen]

Nirvana aren't known for their guitar solos or complex songs. They're known for their unique atmosphere and lyrics that reflected the youth of Generation X. Guitarist, vocalist, and lyricist Kurt Cobain tragically passed away in 1994, three years after this song, of a presumed suicide (though there's also wide speculation that it was murder). Hey was very much viewed as a cultural icon in the 5 years they were famous and the day he died struck millions of teens and young adults into grief. Drummer Dave Grohl, as many have and will point out, has gone on to form and/or play in various groups, such as The Foo Fighters, Queens Of The Stone Age, and Them Crooked Vultures. Bassist Krist Novoselic went to dabble in Politics after Nirvana with brief reappearances at Nirvana-related events.

[@dustin9181]

Love the open mindedness you have I grew up in the early 90s rap/rock/R&B was at a all time high in the early to late 90s they paved the way!

I may know all about Nirvana (Foo Fighters) Etc, so I am enjoying you “tuning in and turning on” as us old people called it in 1960’s, to this iconic band. You make me laugh out loud and like the dance moves, too. I subscribed so I can learn something about your favorite music.

[@bigcraiggles9838]

Oooooh. You've done it now. The NIRVANA wormhole of Music is going to suck you in. their UNPLUGGED album top 5 album of all time. In my opinion.

[@munkeebranestoo5259]

They definitely put their all into this 1. Losing Kurdt is as bad as when we lost Hendrix, or Lennon, or Joplin, or Morrison,.... It seems they ALL had sooo much more music inside. But, I'm grateful 4 what they DID leave 4 us 2 enjoy

Just so you know, the drummer for Nirvana is Dave Grohl who was the lead singer for The Foo Fighters who you did the song The Pretender. #FACTS

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Voted by a magazine, maybe Rolling Stone, most influential album in 1992 across all genres, less than a year after its release. It took just a few hours to record, at Sound City Studios.

[@leannmiller7153]

Love Nirvana ❤️❤️❤️

[@amyhuggins7966]

I’m SO HAPPY you found them. The bad ass drummer (Dave Grohl) was beyond devastated when Kurt Cobain (Nirvana’s lead singer) took his life. He eventually went on to be the lead of The Foo Fighters. He’s stupid crazy on the drums. I mean-nuts! Great reaction! The BEST CONTENT! Halfway through your first reaction video, I “Hit that THANG! I’ve been with you. Love your channel. I’m not going anywhere!!

Just so you know the drummer of Nirvana is Dave Grohl. The lead singer of Foo fighters.

[@keithgraham8588]

Kurt has some pretty good lyrics, don't get me wrong, but there were a lot of times where he had to write a full song worth of lyrics in less than 20 mins. This lead to many of his lyrics being literal nonsense like the "mulatto, albino, gelato" thing. It isn't supposed to mean anything other than being catchy words that rhyme together.

[@Gibson1961SG]

Nirvana's brand of grunge was anti flashy guitar solos and other characteristics of the Hair Metal that was dominant in the industry before grunge. Kurt also just wasn't really technically good enough at guitar to rip one of those kinds of solos anyhow. Hes was an excellent rhythm player, and his lack of musical knowledge lead him to write intuitively some complicated and nuanced melodies over some very unique chord progressions. His use of 5 chords made his progressions tonally ambiguouse enough for him to slip in and out of a number of modes for his different melodies, sometimes even in one song. 5 chords are the basic power chords everyone learns when they start guitar, named 5 chords because they're built from just the 1 and 5 from that chords major scale. This was the accidental genius of Kurt. His lack of chord shape knowledge and fucks to be given lead to him writing some the most unique and memorable melodies of his genre. Well that, and his ability to be totally emotionally involved and present in a performance, while still appearing to be in a state of inner chaos (Ozzy-esk).

I’m sure it’s already been pointed out but the drummer here is Dave Grohl, who went on to form Foo fighters as the their frontman, who you reacted to the other day “The Pretender” I believe was the track you did from Foo.

[@derekfullerton6724]

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but in the studio version(CD/tape) the song is 5 minutes and 1 seconds long. The guitar solo is MUCH longer and you will like it. I promise!!

[@shannonbiehl4282]

When cds first came out, no one had a CD player in their car. You could buy a cassette that had an ox cord connected to it, pop the cassette in the player of the car, and plug the cord into a CD player and it would be playing on the car speakers!! Sounded horrible. Every time you hit a bump, the cd would skip! Someone had to hold the player so it you were driving alone, no cds for you! Haha!!

[@shannonbiehl4282]

[@mztweety1374]

I'm a fan of the Foo because of Prince. Im a fan of Nirvana because of Dave Grohl

[@uoabigaillevey]

While I like this song, I do have a (most likely) unpopular opinion regarding the song to share. Specifically the lyric "Here we are now. Entertain us." This very lyric is either what led to the "Me me me.. It's all about me." mindset.. or it is the result of that mindset taking over the youth in the 90's. Hard to tell which it is. I just remember back then thinking to myself "Who the hell are you to demand that you be entertained just because you exist." Still a good song.. but yeah. That is the message I got from it.. and part of why I did not delve much into grunge music beyond the more popular songs that got MTv airplay at the time. Hate this comment all you want but that is my true original reaction to the song.

[@MrRefractorman]

In the 80's and 90's there was a lady deodorant called Teen Spirit. Sometimes Kurt would use his girlfriend's deodorant. She would laugh and tell him he smells like teen spirit, and this title was created.

[@kristinabushnell3652]

You should def listen to Weird Al's parody of this called Smells Like Nirvana. It's hilarious!! Thanks for the reaction!! You're Awesome!! 🙂
