==================================================== "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is a song by American rock band Nirvana. It is the opening track and lead single from the band's second album, Nevermind (1991), released on DGC Records. The unexpected success of the song propelled Nevermind to the top of several albums charts at the start of 1992, an event often marked as the point where grunge entered the mainstream.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was Nirvana's biggest hit in most countries, charting high on music industry charts around the world in 1991 and 1992, including topping the charts of Belgium, France, New Zealand and Spain. The song garnered widespread critical acclaim, including topping the Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics' poll. The song was dubbed an "anthem for apathetic kids" of Generation X, but Nirvana grew uncomfortable with the attention it brought them. In the years since Kurt Cobain's death, listeners and critics have continued to praise "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as one of the greatest songs in the history of music.
Nirvana war eine US-amerikanische Grunge-Rock-Band aus Aberdeen, Bundesstaat Washington. Die Band wurde im Jahr 1987 gegründet und erreichte Ende 1991 mit dem Album Nevermind, auf dem mit Smells Like Teen Spirit einer ihrer größten Erfolge war, internationale Popularität.
Sieben Jahre nach der Gründung löste sich die Band im Frühjahr 1994 nach dem Suizid des Sängers Kurt Cobain auf. Die Band verkaufte ca. 75 Millionen Tonträger.
