Smells Like Teen Spirit


The song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana is in the key of F major. It was released in 1991 as the lead single from their second studio album, "Nevermind." The song was written by Kurt Cobain, the lead vocalist and guitarist of the band. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is often regarded as one of the iconic songs that shaped the grunge movement of the early 1990s. The lyrics are known for their obscure and cryptic nature, reflecting Cobain's anti-establishment sentiments. Interestingly, the title of the song was inspired by a deodorant brand called "Teen Spirit," which a friend had written on Cobain's wall. The melody is characterized by its heavy guitar riffs and explosive chorus, making it a signature anthem of the alternative rock genre.
