  • Summary

  • This scorching audio narrative untangles how Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" became a generational big bang of creative liberation. Deconstructing Kurt Cobain's abrasive howl channeling millions of disaffected souls into a molotov cocktail of working-class manifesto and melodic irreverence, it explores Dave Grohl's unparalleled drum bombardment as the true kinetic life force. The making of the anarchic music video crystalizing their cheerleader anti-iconography is revealed, as is the song's seismic impact torching hair metal banality to upend rock's very consciousness. Finally, Grohl's continuation as culture's most esteemed ambassador honoring that spirit through Foo Fighters and beyond solidifies "Teen Spirit's" immortality.
