I went to visit a friend at the University of Pittsburgh in the fall of 1991. I cannot begin to explain how many times I heard this song in 3 days on campus. It was blaring from every other dorm room, out house windows, at every bar, 6am, 2am, 1pm, in the dorm showers, everywhere.

I was there, and it was beautiful. Back when MTV and radio was all we had to discover new music. When this song came out, something in the air changed overnight. A whole generation found their voice. It was like a tidal wave that changed pop music in one fell swoop.

I love how Kurt looks like he is out of control at the end of "the denial the denial the denial....." and then he just snaps out of it. He does this also in "Heart Shaped Box" and some live performances. It looks like he is out of control, and when he snaps out of it he shows you he is in complete control and that makes it look even scarier.

I agree with ya buddy... Nirvana was more then just the music, just like eminem's the eminem show, it was exactly like nirvana's nevermind. It marks the time it is in and captures the youth's anger and frustration of that generation! So therefore if anyone says nirvana was overrated... well maybe the music is, but nirvana itself represents a certain time in history! and i think that's why alot of people are still into nirvana... i myself is a huge nirvana fan, but that's because of nirvana's actual music... i kind of missed the whole early 90's alternative rock boom because i was very young and my parents made me basicly live under a rock!

Nirvana was THE band that brought back real music, period. Kids my age went from there and would get into old punk, etc because we'd weird interviews and Kurt was saying, "Mainstream music sucks, I wouldn't listen to us if I were you." It was just so..NEW. music sucks now..I miss the 90's..
