Smells Like Teen Spirit Traditional Cache

#5 in the Heavy Metal music Series!

When people think of Heavy Metal they picture a bunch of long haired guys with a ton of hair spray, women's make up and wearing skin tight Zebra Pants but that was not for me!! The kind of bands I like wear plain jeans and t-shirts. Some of the bands in this Series are not technically Heavy Metal per sa, it's more like heavy guitar crunching music which was all spawned from the term "Heavy Metal".

Nirvana was an American rock/grunge band that was formed by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987. Despite releasing only three full-length studio albums in their seven-year career, Nirvana has come to be regarded as one of the most influential and important rock bands of the modern era.

In the late 1980s Nirvana established itself as part of the Seattle grunge scene, releasing its first album Bleach (1989).. The band eventually came to develop a sound that relied on dynamic contrasts, often between quiet verses and loud, heavy choruses.

Nirvana found unexpected success with "Smells Like Teen Spirit", the first single from the band's second album Nevermind (1991). Nirvana's sudden success widely popularized alternative rock as a whole, and the band's frontman Cobain found himself referred to in the media as the "spokesman of a generation".

Nirvana's third studio album, In Utero (1993), featured an abrasive, less-mainstream sound and challenged the group's audience. Nirvana's brief run ended following the death of Kurt Cobain in 1994.

In 2014, Nirvana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; the members inducted were Cobain, Novoselic, and Grohl.
