The Reviews about Smells Like Teen Spirit (page 6/ 13)
------ performed by Nirvana


I think he is talking about a hooker | Reviewer: Maddie | 12/31/07

Hi all, I think Kurt is talking about a hooker. "She's over bored and self-assured I know, I know a dirty word" then the song goes
"With the lights out, it's less dangerous (apparently some kids may think sex is less dangerous with a prostitute in the dark")
Here we are now, entertain us (a group of guys looking at the hooker)
I feel stupid and contagious (this line talk about aids)
Here we are now, entertain us
A mullato!
An Albino!
A mosquito! (I think by mentioning all these different people,except for the mosquito of course, denotes the idea that everybody has sex with prostitutes)
My Libido! (well this word clearly talks about sex)(if you don´t know the meaning look it up in the dictionary)
Yay!(x3)"
I´m not a fan of Nirvana but I like their songs, I think they are all obscure and misterious. There´s always a hidden message in the lyrics but everybody interprets the meaning in different ways... hope you can see a different point of view. :-) thanks for reading...




hmm | Reviewer: Andy | 12/30/07

the song is pure ART.
I agree with most of the people's oppinions here about the meaning of lyrics.
well.
it's like EVERYTHING.
there's sex in it
and drugs
and rebelion
wandering,searching for the purpose
strange ways that life takes us on
...
destruction of mind
no answers
denial
and in the end...what is left?

pure art,I say...

Meaning of Smells Like Teen Spirit | Reviewer: chris | 12/25/07

Cobain said he was trying to write the ultimate pop song when he wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit. He then proceeds to write a fascinating mix of lyrics where one line is the opposite of the first -- or else the two lines have no connection whatsoever and it is pure random stream of consciousness.

Each time a lyrical sequence appears to begin to be saying something, he quickly reverts to essentially saying 'nevermind' - either literally, or just by writing some randomly generated words instead of completing the thought.

In the end, the song comes across as a parody -- imitating a pop song but loaded with intentional meaninglessness.

Cobain said he was trying to write the ultimate pop song when he wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit. He then proceeds to write a song where each time a line begins to actually say something meaningful, he quickly reverts to essentially saying 'nevermind' - either literally, or just by writing some play on words instead of completing the thought.

The use of words that sound alike but have no meaning when placed together makes the song a parody of pop songs in general. ‘Nevermind’ seems to be the point of this song -- imitating a pop song by leading the listener into nothing more than a ‘psyche.’



<3<3 | Reviewer: Nirvana<3333 | 12/22/07

Wow, one of the greatest rock songs in history & no comments... Great song to this when you're feeling angry & rebellious. Makes you feel great!



Reincarnation | Reviewer: Dawn Rainfeather | 12/12/07

i think my best friend is like a host for cobains spirit cuz before he was into Nirvana he was just like Kurt i mean like LIKE KURT every thing how they think what they beleive and i am scared that something will happen to him



smells like a meaning... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/4/07

this is the song that defines what nirvana is all about, which is that cobain cannot stand the fact that he's part of this human race, that all he has to do is go on stage spout stream of consciousness words and jam, and people will freak out over it. but the lyrics all mean something, they're saying that the group nirvana is cobain's small gesture of defiance, that he will not play along with all the nonsense, though he knows that ultimately he has to because he's still a human on this earth. but as he says, his band has always been and always will, that's why it's called nirvana, that somehow he and maybe others can transcend all of it. of course his death was a strange way to do it but who knows what really happened, anyway i think this song is a work of art, literature, comedy, tragedy, social and human commentary, philosophy, i could go on and on. plus it really really rocks...
