Music video by Nirvana performing Smells Like Teen Spirit. (C) 1991 Geffen Records
Is it too soon? I know this is probably the most played out song and video of all-time, and I too rejected it for the better part of two decades. But really, it is a great song and video. It transformed the direction that popular music was heading forever and put an end to the dreadful hair band years. True Nirvana fans would eventually loathe it’s existence for the fact that people that weren’t true fans could only name this single hit. The time for shunning this gem has surely passed, it truly is the anthem of a generation, my generation. I haven’t watched the video in some time and I have to say it looks better than ever. It takes me back to my basement and bedroom bands that would always fall back on this cut because everybody knew it and everybody could play it. That’s the true genius of this classic!
