“Smells Like Teen Spirit” is a song by Nirvana, it’s the opening track and lead single from the band’s second album, Nevermind (1991)
Cobain came up with the song’s title when his friend Kathleen Hanna spray painted “Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit” on his wall. (What Hanna actually meant was that Cobain smelled like the deodorant “Teen Spirit”, which his girlfriend Tobi Vail wore.)

Kurt Cobain Interview
iloveretro:
-What do you do when you’re not playing music?
Well, I’m reading Perfume for the second time. It’s about a perfume apprentice in the 1700s. And I really like Camille Paglia a lot; it’s really entertaining, even though I don’t necessarily agree with what she says. I still paint once in a while-I painted the cover of Insecticide.
And I make dolls. I like the style of...

Kurt Cobain Interview

-Is there anything about Guns N’ Roses’ music you like?
I can’t think of a damn thing. I can’t even waste my time on that band, because they’re so obviously pathetic and untalented. I used to think that everything in the mainstrteam pop world was crap, but now that some underground bands have been signed with majors, I take Guns N’ Roses as more of an offense. I have to...

Kurt Cobain Interview

-Does it hurt worse when they say bad things about Courtney?
Oh, absolutely. What they said about me is not half as strange as what they’ve said about her. She doesn’t deserve that. She sold 60,000 records, and all of a sudden she’s found herself as commercially popular as me, and she’s just in a punk rock band. Just because she married me, she’s subjected to being as...

- Because people thought you were gay and you had gay friends, did you ever wonder if you might be gay?
Yeah, absolutely. See I’ve always wanted male friends that I could be real intimate with and talk about important things with and be as affectionate with that person as I would be with a girl. Throughout my life, I’ve always been really close with girls and made...

Nirvana’s song Polly
This song is about the actual kidnapping of a 14 year old girl. In 1987, she was returning from a concert in Tacoma, Washington when she was abducted by a man named Gerald Friend. He took her back to his mobile home and raped her. The girl, whose name was not released, was tortured with a whip, a razor, and a blowtorch. She managed to escape when Friend ...

iloveretro:
You used to push people’s buttons in high school, didn’t you?
Oh, absolutely. I used to pretend I was gay just to fuck with people. I’ve had the reputation of being a homosexual every since I was 14. It was really cool, because I found a couple of gay friends in Aberdeen-which is almost impossible. How I could ever come across a gay person in Aberdeen is amazing! But...
