Nirvana song that changed everything about a genre

Nirvana – ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’

‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ certainly wasn’t the first grunge song ever written, as grunge music had been a twinkle in the eye of many a Seattle-born musician for a while now. However, while ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ might not have been the first grunge song, it was certainly the one which skyrocketed the genre to being one of the most exciting in the mainstream.

We celebrate grunge these days as a movement that shone bright and fast. While its time in the mainstream was short-lived, you still hear elements of that iconic sound in what a lot of rock bands are making to this day. This likely wouldn’t be the case if it were not for Nirvana acting as many people’s gateway into the genre.
