Apr 4, 2024 · In terms of its sheer cultural clout, rock influence, and beloved legend status as the closer to every Nineties night ever, Smells Like Teen Spirit has to be the definitive Nirvana song,...
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the epitome of teen angst music, and it accurately portrays the darker portions of the teenage soul. Despite the utter simplicity of the lyrics, the song is really deep in its display of raw emotion.

There’s an endearing, well-traveled story behind this one: After trying for months to get ahold of Nirvana to get permission from the band to record a parody of “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “Weird Al” Yankovic eventually managed to get ahold of Kurt Cobain during their time on the Saturday Night Live set, and Cobain’s initial reaction was to ask Yank...
The pop-punk cover: When it’s at its worst, it’s a have-your-cake-and-eat-shit exercise in semi-nostalgic, half-ironic distancing from somebody else’s popularity. When it’s at its best, it’s a tribute to the power of reclamation — or, in the case of Pansy Division, a chance to stand your ground. Queercore pioneers who toured with Green Day during t...
Back in the mid ’90s, ex-Jellyfish/then-Imperial Drag keyboard player Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. joined up with producer/engineer/vintage-synth collector Brian Kehew for a preposterous yet very ’90s concept album. The idea: What if those Switched On-inspired synthesizer albums of the late ’60s and early ’70s — records where the likes of Dick Hyman a...
The relationship between Kurt Cobain and the Melvins was a deep but often painful one. The Melvins were one of the catalysts for Nirvana existing in the first place: They were former bandmates in Cobain’s pre-Nirvana band Fecal Matter, and after the recording of Bleach Melvins frontman Buzz Osborne was the one who introduced Cobain and Novoselic to...
Oh boy. Electroclash! Australian electro/synthpop/mash-up artist Dsico (aka “Dscio That No-Talent Hack”) rode a brief wave of poptimist all-the-rules-have-changed mania at the beginning of the millennium that didn’t last nearly as long as the spotlight moments afforded the likes of, say, Soulwax. It’s not clear why, other than maybe the fact that g...
Nashville’s Los Straitjackets first came about in the tongue-in-cheek early-mid ’90s, which might be one reason why their lucha-masked instrumental surf-abilly antics were typically seen as cool retro cross-cultural style for the Conan O’Brien crowd rather than blatant cultural appropriation. Despite their affinity for Mex-American and other Latin ...
You don’t have to be a Marxist to subscribe to Karl’s famous Eighteenth Brumaire Of Louis Napoleon quote that history repeats itself “first as tragedy, then as farce.” You just have to be aware of when irony echoes sincerity, which itself often winds up echoing irony to only a slightly lesser extent. It’s probably exaggerating to call Paul Anka’s s...
This cover by Los Angeles neo-soul/future-R&B duo J*DaVeY isn’t ironic or comedic or even sarcastic — but it is irreverent, in that it sands down and glosses up nearly everything about the original song’s makeup except the lyrics itself, which singer Jack Davey twists melodically inside-out during the chorus to sound more like some kind of blasphem...
Right, right, I know: They covered Alice Cooper and Blondie on the old Muppet Show back in the day (albeit with actual input from Alice Cooper and Debbie Harry). Still, even after all these other entries, hearing Sam The Eagle, Rowlf, Link Hogthrob, and fucking Beaker do a barbershop-quartet version of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is such a weird fit ...
After so many different weird deconstructions of “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” it’s only fair that we have a somewhat more profound jazz interpretation to close things out — and we don’t even have to go to the Bad Plus well this time (though they did a fine version back in 2003). Robert Glasper’s version of the song has become one of the pianist’s mor...
