Therapist Analyzes Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

Cool Heart shirt👍 Awesome band. Wish I was old enough to see them back in the 70s

good analysis…

î guess kurt was a bit to
vulnerable
rip

Actual kurt said his lyrics didnt make sense cuz he focused on the music first…BUT WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW!!!mia goth laugh

Straight into the song no messing around. Love your style

A therapist analyzing Nirvana… I expect to hear full bullshit but damn I am surprised… That was really good !!

Keep it up

The janitor is a reference to kurt himself. After dropping out from highschool he got a job as a janitor at that same highschool

I remember the first time I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit. It came on the radio in the 90s as I was driving down Route 21 in NJ and it blew me away.

heart-shaped box when?..

Bloopers in the video :

2 kids moving to the music when it begins

Cheerleader smiling right into the Camera

Facts = Kurt was a Janitor in the same high school he quit

The Cheerleaders were Strippers hired

Samuel Bayer ( the director ) made a “Johnny Rotten” Video
Looking exactly the same in 1992…this coming from a singer who hated Nirvana

Some facts from VH1 ( POP UP VIDEO -1997 )

OMG You’re a genius Taylor, love your analysis

Pacific Northwest,. Depression, yep. Nirvana, sound garden, alice n chains, etc. Birth of starbucks and heroin office ceos

Good bye hair bands…

Wow, you really nailed this! And even when the apathetic teens get excited and have energy it’s aggressive and destructive and - they’re not celebrating who they are (like the janitor) - they’re lashing out. It’s almost like - this is what putting on the mask of apathy and holding it in does. It builds and builds until the dam breaks and it comes out in cathartic yet uncontrollable aggression.

Please please please do Something in the Way!!!

I like your analysis on this!!!:slight_smile: I feel like you got in his head a little bit more than people that read a book or listened to a CD or something. Thank you!!:slight_smile:

This style of music was pretty new when it appered. All the grown-ups where shocked by the noise. But on every party their music was played. It spread a feeling of not be a part of the grown-up society.

“Where Did You Sleep Last Night” needs to be listened to and analyzed. Just for the pure emotion Kurt into singing that song. It is raw and moving.

Do you know who the long haired hippie looking dude on the Drums is…? That Me Lady is none other than Dave Grohl. Lead for the Foo Fighters. And do you know what a Foo Fighter is? Came from WWII and UAP’s seen by Stuka and Messerschmitt fighter pilots. I like what your doin’ gurl. Good job.

I left my apathy aside but under it there was only more apathy. Ah well.
