O Hino Rebelde Que Definiu uma Geração
Smells Like Teen Spirit, released in 1991 by Nirvana, is one of the most iconic musics in rock history and a symbol of the grunge movement. Composed by Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, the song presents raw energy, with distorted guitars and an explosive refrain that captured the rebellious spirit of the youth of the era. The curious title came from a song written by one of Cobain's friends, Kathleen Hanna, who wrote "Kurt smells like Teen Spirit", apparently referring to a popular brand of deodorant. Music quickly became a song of Geração X, reflecting feelings of apathy, nonconformity and alienation. The clip, set in a school gym, helped reinforce the grunge aesthetic and was widely shown on MTV. Despite this enormous success, Cobain expressed discontent with the fame and marketing of the band. Still, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" remains a framework for alternative rock and continues to influence new generations.
