“Smells Like Teen Spirit”

Nirvana | 1991

"Smells Like Teen Spirit," named after a brand of deodorant marketed to girls, was Kurt Cobain's attempt to "write the ultimate pop song," he said, using the soft-loud dynamic of his favorite band, the Pixies.

In 'Teen Spirit,' a lot of that vulnerability is in the tone of his voice."

"There are many other songs that I have written that are as good, if not better," he claimed.
