Fun fact: rape me was about the whole “she was asking for it” mentality back it the day. It was about how most women who are sexually assaulted are done so by someone they know like a friend or family member, and then left feeling alone and if they are the only one. It is also slightly about women who have been assaulted being blamed by others and called names. The song is simple but the context is amazing

Loved your reaction!! Here is a little bit of info about 'rape me' if you're interested. Kurt Cobain was really vocally feminist and 'Rape me' is intended to be a anti-rape song, Cobain and Love played a number of charity concerts that were specifically for raising money for rape victims or to raise awareness about rape. Lines like "I'm not the only one" are referring to how common rape is, he's trying to raise awareness. Anyways great video!!

I read that the song was based on a woman who was raped and tortured by a group of guys at a rock concert. I remember finding it unusual that he made the song from a woman's point of view. He could have been an empath and that can be a tough way to exist in the world.

Dave Grohl actually came up with the main drums and guitar riff for Scentless Apprentice. Kurt then took that and wrote the rest of the song, as well as the bassist Krist writing his own bass line. It's the first and I believe only Nirvana song where Kurt, Dave, and Krist all have songwriting credits. As a drummer, I use this song to warm up before I play because of the intense kick drum pattern, love Dave Grohl!

The first time I heard this album was early 1994. I was tripping on LSD and this album was emotionally disturbing. I remember thinking, “Kurt’s not well”. When it was over it left me with a dirty, yucky feeling that stayed with me for days. Only two other albums have ever made me feel like that. “Jar of Flies” by Alice in Chains and “Animals” by Pink Floyd. When we heard about Kurt I remember not feeling that surprised. I was like “ Did anybody listen to In Utero?” Near the end you guys brought up Kurt and Courtney’s relationship. Yes, that was extremely toxic. They were both heavy into heroin and they both led very extreme lifestyles. It’s amazing that Francis Bean turned out to be such a balanced person as an adult. She could have gone completely sideways and it would have been no surprise. An entire generation watched her grow up. I think I can speak for all of Gen X when I say that we are so very, very proud of her. She has grown into a beautiful, talented, smart woman who does not seem to live in the huge shadow of her father.

I grew up on this I’m a gen z my first favorite band, it was really hard to understand social media the new generations view on 90s band and punk rock grunge was never really a thing until after she died whether you like Nirvana or not you have to admit there’s either before nirvana or after they were the biggest band that blew up very fast in history. These new generations are following this narrative by reading into the lyrics that he was cynical, depressed, suicidal, angry when in fact, he was the total opposite. He had a dry sense of humor. He was actually hilarious, and he was very sarcastic when he would do some of his concerts did not like the production of never mind. You can hear the songs before they even were on never mind, and some of the songs in utero as well, and it had completely different sound live however, Steve Albini let them have a big say and how they wanted to sound Kurt hired Pat Pat smear from the punk rock band the germs who had a sour of guitar sound to them. I don’t like the Foo Fighters at all however, Dave Grohl is more of my top favorite drummers. He put himself down about how he did some rip offs and never mind, but that was for the studio version. I’ve never seen a drummer hit so hard in my life did several drum parts and then Dave added his hard hitting sound to what Kurt wanted nirvana has been around for a long time. He knew what he was getting into. He took it lucidly not many people would be able to handle the thing that fast and he created more than music. He created a movement. He is misunderstood. He did not blow his head off. Courtney loved not murder him. It was an isolated incident. Maybe that would make sense but there are so many artists that came From GarageBands that ended up dead, whether be drug overdoses or suicides because they weren’t meant to blow up they weren’t created by the industry or they did not obey so a lot of my favorite band such as Operation Ivy and rancid Tim Armstrong with independent labels however, the whole sellout thing was punk rock band is a little crap. You want your band to succeed, that’s not selling out selling out is what offspring did they started out punk punk is not just Music is a way life and they owed epitaph, which was owned by the front man of bad religion him and his wife mortgage their house and they owed them the second record and said they left them hanging and signed a major label and they are owned and to this day in our 60s, still singing high school songs they did not involve rancid however has evolved very mature people call them sell out because they got popular, but they’re really not that popular. They don’t have private jets. They don’t do world tours and it took them a long time. Tim Armstrong is a poet and a genius and all his side project people don’t even realize he’s done platinum hits for pink Jimmy Cliff. I think his name is he has created the label sister label to epitaph call hellcat and he signed so many bands that were never been hurt. They start up and Gilman St., Lookout records as well as Green Day lookout could not handle how big those vans got and we’re happy for them to move on, but Tim decided to take his million that he earned an outcome the wolves created helcat nirvana start off with independent label sub however, he didn’t listen to what the record labels wanted him to do he was punk and then he wanted to go more into new wave. He liked the B52s his first song he learned was from the cars, my best friend‘s girl bands that were very good such as the Melvins, the meat puppets and the Vaselines he absolutely loved and in the US gave them fame. He lived next-door to Michael Stipe from R.E.M.. who is Francis Bean‘s godfather but of course the narrative is to blame Courtney Love for his murder or even Dave Grohl of course that’s what they want you to believe but this is an isolated just to him. Let’s think of all of the artist that have died because they blew up and we’re not created example Bradley Nowell from sublime Laney Stanley Mike Starr Shannon Hoon Holes bassist Kristin Pialf sp? The first guitars from the Red Hot chili peppers every member of Mad Season except from McCready Andrew wood from mother love boat Scott Whelan Chris Cornell Chester Benningfield Avicii Sinéad O’Connor DJ AM, Amy Winehouse, all around the same age all went to rehab and then just overdosed oh yeah river Phoenix the list goes on, so it’s obvious the labels want to create control the music industry As far as analyzing his lyrics, he wrote so many songs and said not analyze them really didn’t mean much until after he died the more he became more valuable moneywise to the record label and now with social media and people that didn’t live through these times he has been made out to be something totally false. He wasn’t talking about dying. He was talking about the divorce in some of this songs he was very sarcastic during a lot of his live sets which is actually very funny and clever whether you think he plays the guitar simple well basically that’s what punk rock is gives a voice to anybody, but I don’t think anybody can do what he did look up some of his boot such as hung him on a cross and ain’t it a shame there’s so many that are funny nothing was sad

And if you want to know more about Kurt, how complex and cool he was, I do think the movie Montage of Heck is a really well done biography on his life. Granted, Courtney had a lot of say in its production and I know very few Nirvana fans like her, but Krist, Kurt's oldest friend and Nirvana's bass player, is also a big part of it. So are Kurt's mom and sister. From a storytelling perspective it's well done, it features lots of Kurt's diary entries, and I think it does a great job of showing how awful addiction is, how it affects everyone around you, and what a huge artistic and musical talent Kurt was.

I don't know how you could do a first listen now, though, and think about anything but what he did to himself less than a year later. Appreciate the honest reaction - I think you see the art but also are wise enough beyond your years to know that the road he took is not one to glorify and probably impossible to understand.

It's interesting listening to this so far away from when it was released. Sure, almost every song points towards Kurt's tortured soul/body, but in the moment, at the time this was released that sort of sad introspection was pretty common, especially in alternative music lyrics/themes. It's hard to imagine today that cries for help like that were pretty common, lyrically, in style almost. Of course, after Kurt took his life these poems/lyrics took on an entirely new shape. Kurt was a very sarcastic person, and he was incredibly unhappy with the commercial success of Nirvana and the fans it attracted. The types of people he grew up hating (who were mean or abusive to him) had become a large part of his fanbase. Depression and angst were themes a lot of bands of the time had. So, listening to In Utero in 1993 didn't garner the same reaction you two had (obviously). Was Kurt being sarcastic? Was he being tongue-in-cheek? Was he using metaphore? Well, yes... AND he was truly unhappy with life and success, hopelessly addicted to heroin, and suffering from debilitating chronic stomach pain. Pretty sad in the end. Check out Bleach, Incesticide, and Unplugged. (Bleach, you know about.... Incesticide is a compilation of non-album tracks from before Nevermind, and Unplugged captures an amazing live acoustic set full of a handful of Nirvana tunes, and a bunch of amazing cover songs. Unplugged in New York is AMAZING.)

Frances Farmer was an actress who was institutionalized against her will, and Kurt was very drawn to her story. But it doesn't have anything to do with the name of his daughter, she was actually named after Frances McKee from The Vaselines.

Little old guy wisdom for you here. 1? The box he speaks about in heart shaped box wasn’t ONLY a metaphor for a vagina. Courtney actually gave him a heart shaped box that, I believe, if memory serves, was given to her by none other than Billy Corgan. Rape me was actually definitely an anti rape song. Listen to it closely and think about it, you’ll get it. Scentless apprentice was about a book Kurt Loved. He brought it with him everywhere. It was about a perfume makers apprentice. But the thing that made Kurt so special as a song writer was that none of that matters. I really means whatever it means to you. He wanted it that way. There are bands that make music that is intended to be interpreted in a specific way and if you miss it? Or the meaning isn’t important to you? It just misses for you. Like Pink Floyd. Or tool. Less so tool but still. Tool. But Nirvanas music could be enjoyed by anyone and you may not even know what he actually says. And that’s totally ok.

Great reaction - I'd recommend you continue down the Nirvana rabbit hole in this order - Nirvana - MTV Unplugged Nirvana - Bleach Nirvana - Live at Reading Nirvana - Incesticide Nirvana - Hormoaning 2 (a ton of great outtakes including Sappy and You Know Youre Right. Nirvana has many outtakes as good as or better than album tracks): kzfaq.info/sun/PL0w_A1Hb1i9MnBLVC3_3I2mYokqOOzUJW Then continue down the Grunge Rabbit Hole and start with these classics: Pearl Jam - Ten Alice in Chains - Dirt Soundgarden - Superunknown For my money there has never been a more intense and visceral and honest time in rock music than the Grunge movement that came out of Seattle in the early 90s.

Nirvana's popularity was a rebellion against the heavily-produced commercial pop music that was making all the money at that time. That kind of squeaky clean music is not for humans, its for malls and businesses. Humans are much dirtier and noisier. Should also be mentioned that Kurt's daughter (Frances Bean Cobain) was born the year prior. Childbirth is one of the most visceral, intense, and 'dirty' experiences in human life. You can't make squeaky clean pop music about it if you're honest. Also, Frances Farmer was an actress in the 30s from Seattle who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and committed to a mental institution, although she did eventually get out. Kurt's daughter is indeed named after her. "I miss the comfort in being sad" is most likely talking about how Kurt hated success and fame, and missed the comforts of his prior life. When you're entirely content to be the outsider and the underdog, success can be a curse. And it was for Kurt. Overall, though... reading into Kurt's lyrics too much isn't a great idea. He often just stuck in whatever fit (with music and vibe). There are a few songs that he reportedly wrote the lyrics in the car on the way to the recording studio. He did not like it when interviewers asked him about songs meanings.

Cancer is a reference to Courtneys (his wife) star sign I imagine as he references Pisces at the beginning of the song (Kurts sign) ... when she was trying to woo Kurt, she sent him a heart shaped box with trinkets in. ~ Rape me I believe is aimed at the media ..... one particular magazine article done on the couple while Courtney was pregnant was so damaging that Child Services swooped in and removed their child not long after she was born and began a court battle to get custody back. Trauma trauma.

If you're impressed by Dave Grohl, you should learn about Pat Smear. He joined Nirvana as a touring guitarist and 4th member for the In Utero tour and later a member of the Foo Fighters. Decades prior, though, he was also a member of a well-known punk band, The Germs. All of this, and he's stayed pretty well under the radar
