Nirvana came out with this song in 1991. Kurt Cobain, a member
of the American rock band, was the one who wrote the song. He publically
admitted that when he started writing the song, he was initially trying to copy
the Pixies.
This song is famously known as
being a part of the Grunge Movement. This song was written in a time when
people were killed over the labels they were wearing or the brand of their
shoes. The Grunge Movement started in Washington state when people refused to
wear high-end clothes on the street. Quickly, the new “in” thing to do was wear
oversized, messy-looking clothes with greasy hair. This drew attention away
from the violence that spawned from expensive clothing.
Reading the lyrics can only be
slightly less confusing once you know that Kurt Cobain was a heroin addict. The
words themselves don’t make any sense, like many other songs of this same
generation and genre. This song expresses the 90’s well because it was the time
of the Grunge Movement and nearing the end of the age of sense-less dance music.
This item does not specifically talk about one subject, so there
is a lot that isn’t discussed. The Grunge Movement isn’t mentioned by name and
it’s only inferred that this song is about that. This song also doesn’t talk
about the violence that led to the Grunge Movement.
