Lyrics

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low? [x3]
Hello, hello, hello!

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
...

first off i gotta say nirvana kicks ass nd u gotta love them cuz they arent sell-outs nd 2 all of u pop lovers out there pop sux ass ;p ROCK ON!!!!! i love the song nd the meaning all of nirvanas song cuz they have a powerful meaning nd im sure it impacted many ppls lives.so 2 all of u ppl who diagree wit me i could care less cuz i love nirvana nd i dont care wat society thinks about him or ne punk rockers or ne other "labels/lifestyles" that arent acceptable to society.so screw society its not us its not that were weird theyre just 2 normal.in my opinion nirvana was the greatest grunge band of all time nd when kurt cobain died so did grunge.i love kurt cobain nd hes words r engraved in my heart "its better to burn-out then fade away" later my fellow nirvana lovers we'll all meet after we all burn-out.

I don't like the song, it isn't very good I'm afraid. :-(

Yeah, great song, great video. I think alot of the people who loved it, though, didn't realy know what Nirvana was all about. By the way, the whole "I hate my self, I want to die" thing is way overrated. It was just a joke when they were deciding what to name one of the Cds. It's a shame cause the media really uses it against him in the whole, "no wonder he commited sucide" deal. At least we got people like Tom Grant who can deffend him.

i love it the song has alot of meaning and its a powerful song its great

1st- I like the music video, song and band, but I always have questioned this music video. A music video, I think, should technically show what the band thought the song was about. Examples of these are GNR "November Rain", Metallica "Enter Sandman", and Pearl Jam "Jeremy", but "Smells Like Teen Spirit" has stood and will continue to stand the test of time because it broke down so many beariers. Why is the video good? It showed that anybody could become a rock star. It came out at a time when the world was looking for a change. It showed that the average Joe could be a rock star and opened the flood gates. It's generation X's song just like "Hey Jude" by The Beatles is our parents generation's song. It introduced the world to a new kind of music. Thats why the video is considered the best, not because it's the best video to watch (it isn't). There are better music videos I think, but non of them affeced the world like this one. It was also made at a time when mtv and vh1 were good, when it was 24 hour music videos. Remember that? Yes this song is generation x's song and unfortunatley because mtv and vh1 have changed for the worse, the latter half of generation x is getting exposed to @#$%! They will never remember the time when those stations showed "Beavis And Butt-head" and the rest of the time 24-7 music videos and the artists and videos were good then. This song marks the beginning of the end when rock n' roll music was #1. No artist has done what Nirvana did except The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. We can't do anything about it right now, so unless you are planning to change the world like these 3 artists did, pop in Nevermind into your CD player (or cassette player if you happen to have this album on tape) now and listening to Generation X's anthem and try to remember the good old days.

Ich liebe Nirvana, ich liebe ihre Songs und ich liebe dieses Video. Es ist kein besonders spektakul�res Video, aber es ist toll, vorallem, wenn man Nirvana mag.

It is a really cool song, and it was a kick ass music video. Kurdt didn't like the fame though. We have to blame the song for that. "I hate myself and I want to die, Leave me alone. Love Kurt."

Monday 06/23/03

I still remember the first time I saw that video. I was hanging out at a friend of mine, a british dude, btw, and his comment was kinda telling. "Amazing! I couldn't understand a word!" (Yea, I'm not english speaking by descent, definition or default.) The only video/song EVER to have the kind of impact that this one did. Epic, if there ever was one. To lose someone of that magnitude is a tremendoues loss, a loss for us all. Rock forever.

Nirvana was a brake through band...this was the song that made them big, but at the same time it took away what they were...the song is great and has some meaning but not alot...the video wasn't even put together that well if u actually watch it the music doesn't even go with what kurt's playing sometimes....oh well nirvana kicked ass and still does and i think people shouldn't be like "YEAH THE VIDEO ROCKED" if they don't even know what nirvana was all about...

fu****g sh**t

Friday 01/24/03

Well its a great song, but the video does nothing, - at the time of course it inflicted everyone - displaying mainstream culture slowling getting into this anthem based tune, but in comparison with other music videos this one is almost empty ... and was far from original at the time... but who cares when everyone loves it :P

srry to crush your lovely nirvana pie there guys :]

Ever seen something like that? This is what everybody asked when this video first aired and for most of us this is when nirvana enterd our consciousness. But beside the fact that this was their breaktrough clip it is a good rock-video as well. Smoke, girls and a rocking band. Yes! This is Rock 'n' Roll - mmh, sorry - Grunge.
