Therapist uses Smells Like Teen Spirit to discuss the way that individuals use apathy as a coping mechanism. The stereotype of an apathetic individual is often a teenager, but many people use apathy to keep themselves safe. Apathy is often seen as strength, but the truth is that real strength comes from vulnerability. It is brave to be authentic, to care, to create. Apathy is often secure, but it comes at the cost of never reaching your potential.

You gotta check out “The World I Know” by Collective Soul. Very heavy song addressing depression and suicide with a powerful video to say the least.

I really like your vids. I would be very interested to see you react to Marylin Mansons older stuff. Especially The Beautiful people, Tourniquet, or the nobodies.The music videos are super artistic and interesting as well. Keep up the amazing vids :slight_smile:

Interesting to see how you elaborate on things that probably even Kurt Cobain himself couldn’t or even wanted to.
This has been quoted from an article: quote ‘‘My lyrics are total cut-up,’’ Cobain maintained, referring to Beat poet William S. Burroughs’ famous writing method. ‘‘I take lines from different poems that I’ve written. I build on a theme if I can, but sometimes I can’t even come up with an idea of what the song is about.’’ endquote
He had an incredible ear for melodies tho, and it’s not unlikely that he just inserted lyrics here and there because they made sense in a “collage” sort of way.

The Anarchy cheerleading squad is my favorite! :joy: Did you know that Kurt had a job as a janitor at his high school after dropping out? He dropped out two weeks before graduation because he didn’t have enough credits to graduate.

I need you to listen to so far away my Avenged sevenfold. there is SOO much emotion to draw from that song. I CRIED listening to it and music usually doesn’t leave that kind of impact on me.

Does the fact that its about their dead drummer make it any more emotional?

This song literally came from a girl spray painting on a wall. “Kurt smells like teen spirit.” The deodorant.
