Nirvana: Smells Like Teen Spirit (1991) - Song Review

Official Score = 3 Devils

Nirvana... Man I miss that band! I mean their type of grunge rock influenced a whole generation of fans, not just in a type of music, but in a way of living that back in the early and mid-nineties was pretty much the only way to live!

What I mean by this is that Nirvana was a trend setter, you could trace the popularity of kids and teens drinking coffee from Starbucks, or some other coffee house to these guys, you could also trace directly back to these guys the popular belief that if you played in a coffee house, your band could get discovered and you to could become famous...

The reason why I mention all of this is because there is one song that I recently heard, that I hadn't heard in a few years that was pretty decent... That song being, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' (1991), from their album, 'Nevermind'!

Nirvana doing, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' LIVE!

Now if you like this type of music... Well you might find this song to be a fun one, and the truth is, is I like this song a fair amount myself, the only real problem is that this song has been played to death! What I mean by this is that this song has been overly commercialized, and in my opinion has killed some of that, 'underground band' charm that was what made Nirvana so great!

In the end, this song is not bad, and in all fairness, if you have never listened to Nirvana, this song is a worthy one to introduce yourself to them...
