My 15 minutes of fame . I'm the guy sitting down left of screen . White T and long shorts . Long hair . 15 years old . Just before the first hello, how low part . Never knew it would be historic moment.

The "Woohoo" song is a song from the band Blur called "Song 2".

This was probably the most influential song of the 90's. RIP Kurt Cobain.

Nirvana literally saved rock and roll at the time. This decade needs saving, who is next?

if a song can define a generation, or a change in pop culture, then this is it

This was the song that ushered in the entire sound of 90s rock. The radio would never sound the same again thereafter, and the influence Nirvana had on music remains to this day. While this song got a bit overexposed, it's a fun jam and a good introduction to an absolutely iconic musical artist (Kurt Cobain)

I was never a big Nirvana fan, but it’s undeniable that this song changed rock music. Glad you’ve heard it. Some folks in their late 20s and 30s react like they never have and I wonder what planet they’ve been on.

I was honored to be able to see Nirvana in concert,. And later seeing Nirvana in concert with Pearl jam and Red hot chili peppers together, what a great concert.

I was 18 years old, when this song came out. It hit me like a train. Its hard to describe for younger folks.... at the time, this sounded so real, energetic, and raw..... it was amazing. Compared to all the other fake hair metal and soft rock that was out at the time. This was like a color movie showing up when everything else was black and white. Still sounds great to me too, that song holds up, doesn't sound dated at all.

the drummer ended up forming another legendary band Foo Fighters with him as the vocalist and guitars

I was big into Alice in Chains when all the folks around me were still into hair bands. The first time I heard the opening chords of this song, i knew things were about to change and my music had arrived.

Some songs bring back VERY specific memories to me. This is one of them. This song came out in late 1991 and was a HUGE hit. It was my friend Keith's favorite song. We were both 27 yrs old at the time. The following 4th of July (1992), we all went to Keith's house for a BBQ. He lived on a quiet, private dirt road. He was married and had two small children. So after sundown, he went and did fireworks in the road for his kids to see. We were all on the yard in lawnchairs watching. Then some drunk driver, fleeing the police, came speeding down this private dirt road at about 80mph and hit and killed Keith. Right in front of us. Right in front of his children. As this was his favorite song, his widow had it played at his memorial service. So when I hear this song, it doesn't bring back any happy memories. It just makes me think of watching my friend Keith being killed.

Another Nirvana request is "Come As You Are"

Smells Like Teen Spirit Load up on guns, bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend She's over-bored and self-assured Oh no, I know a dirty word Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now, entertain us A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido Yeah, hey I'm worse at what I do best And for this gift I feel blessed Our little group has always been And always will until the end Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now, entertain us A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido Yeah, hey And I forget just why I taste Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile I found it hard, it's hard to find Oh well, whatever, never mind Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello, how low Hello, hello, hello With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now, entertain us A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial Songwriters: Chris Novoselic / David Grohl / Kurt Cobain

Strange you would think this song is older. When me and my friends first heard it, it sounded like nothing we ever heard before, it was fresh, raw and real. The guitar sounds were unique and came to define the 90s Alternative rock sound.

Maaaaaaaan, this was released during my senior year of high school, in 1991....back then I had a BMW 320i with two 15" Redline woofers, two 8" Bose mids and two 3" Bose tweets, and 2 JBL amps w/fans in the trunk bumpin, one 600 watts the other 300 watts, a Zapco 24-key equalizer w/the 200 watt bass boost, runnin thru a JBL cassette deck, that system would bump LOUD...I'd drive my boys crazy when we'd cruise up and down The El Camino with my music, cuz right after I'd have "Freaky Tales" by Too Short off his Born To Mack album slappin, I'd make ears ring by playin this Nirvana album loud as hell, this vid just took me back almost 30yrs....holy hell, I'm damn near 47yrs old now, seems like life has been nothin but work, wth two combat tours in Iraq thrown in to make sure I barely sleep and have the most hellish dreams when I actually do get some shuteye....enjoy your youth people, cuz you don't wanna be leavin a comment like this under an Upchurch or Struggle Jennings vid....

“I guess it’s gonna be a singalong” and Kurt starts mumbling 😆

I saw them live way back in 1991 at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit! We all were experiencing this new sound, new look, the dudes didn't wear spandex and eyeliner! This sound was sorely needed and gave a generation a voice! Gotta rep all us GenXers!!

As someone who hit their early 20's in Seattle at the opening of the 90's, this was part of the soundtrack of my life.

Probably the most famous song of the '90s. I'm shook every time I hear it.

Don't you just love it when you come across a tune you've "kind of heard" for years, but don't know a thing about, then get to actually sit still and LISTEN to it? I'm 58 years old and have been a huge music fan since I was old enough to sit up on my own, and I still run into tunes like that on occasion (although it's becoming harder to do with each passing year.) That's one reason I love your channel and your videos so much. Not only are your reactions so real, but you genuinely enjoy the musical journey you're on. There are a ton of reaction channels out there, but you're #1 in my book because you look like you're having just as much fun as I am. I have an absolute blast watching you discover the music I love (I think I've watched your SRV reactions a hundred times apiece - easily 100 times apiece,) and kind of re-live that feeling of discovery through you. Keep doing what you're doing, and keep being you. Peace to you and yours, my friend, and may God bless you all.

“I don’t really know the lyrics.” My response: nobody does.

I was 10 years old when this song released. At the time I had only heard 80's pop and lite rock or adult contemporary that my mom listened to on the radio and thought that I just didn't like music. I didn't have a favorite song, I didn't like any bands, I didn't listen to anything. Until I changed schools and the bus driver played a rock station. Then I heard this song and it blew my little 10 year old mind. I didn't know music could sound like this and it influenced me greatly. After I heard this song, I began to listen to so much 90's rock and I found so many bands to love, all because of this song. (then 15-20 years later I would discover my dad's music and fall in love with classic rock once I was done being a teenager.)

Fun Fact: During the recording of this song, Kurt screamed so much that he lost his voice and was spitting up blood. True musicianship right there.

The gateway out of 80s hairband era. Nirvana began GRUNGE! They had just that perfect touch of punk. Enmeshed with hard rock and blues. That perfect way to let out emotions.🙌🎸🎤 Hence teen spirit needing to be entertained.

Your face when the drums came in is the same face we all made back in 1991 when this came out.

This song changed everything. i was 21 at the time and loved heavy metal. RIP 1980s heavy metal music.

I used to watch them in the dorms at The Evergreen State College circa 1988. We just thought another local punk band. They became something we never imagined.

I have 3 requests 1 More grunge 2 More grunge 3 More grunge Any of these will do just fine. Thanx

If you are gonna do any other Nirvana, check out "Heart-Shaped Box".

When I first heard this song in 1991 I was hooked for life! Their album NEVERMIND changed the course of music! I listened to that album so much! Interesting thing. Never got tired of listening to t!

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song. After hearing the opening chords and the drum intro, I knew within the first 10 seconds that this song was going to be huge! It defined a generation.

To really understand the impact of this song, you would have to go back in time to the days of MTV where rockers all had big huge hair and wore make up. Then, out of the blue, this shows up on MTV... Its not just the look, the sound was just as different and this song right here changed our society and our culture very quickly.

The song that killed the 80's hair metal scene.

The most musically transformative song since "She Loves You" in 1964.

Nirvana, Pearl Jam, STP,and Alice n Chains changed my life. I was 11 years old and my older cousin brought along her boom box to my grandma's house and we listened to them in the attic. I went from Whitney Huston, Bet Middler, and New Kids to full fledged grungy over a weekend.

For a real trip...watch the official video for Weird Al Yankovic's "Smells Like Nirvana"...the video sends up this one. It's hysterical!

"Woo hoo!". Classic. But a good point. EVERYBODY tried to sound like Nirvana after this album, so it makes sense you'd mistake it for another song (or 50 other songs) from that decade. 🙏❤️

I love this reaction so much. You are the man!

I distinctly recall way back when, seeing this video for the very first time on its debut at MTV; I was immeditaely hooked and had to go out buy their music, it was that groundbreaking (for me) in that era.

After Kurt died, the drummer Dave went on to form and sing for The Foo Fighters. Definitely worth checking out. Hard to believe he stepped out from behind the drums to become one of the biggest rock stars in one of the biggest rock bands of our time. You’d think he was already a big enough legend for being in Nirvana, but he upped the ante.

Fun story, Kurt's friend Kathleen Hanna wrote the phrase "Kurts smells like teen spirit" on his apartment wall and that's where the title comes from. Teen spirit is a girls deodorant.

This song shook teenage me! I came in from school turned the television to MTV and stayed on my knees-totally mesmerized!!!

Jamal: I don’t know the lyrics Everybody else: we know, just go along with it

Did you know the drummer looks exactly like Dave Ghrol lol 😂😂😂

“Negative creep” if u wanna hear them go crazzy. Get goosebumps everytime he hits that scream jn this one.

Dude, I watch you all the time. Keep on. I laugh my ass off to these.

"I find it hard, it's hard to find … oh well, whatever, nevermind…." amazing you should check out the MTV unplugged "Man who sold the world"

I loved this song so much that after I bought the Nevermind cassette, yes cassette, I sat there going over the words until I knew every word. 🤣 I just had a jam session in my living room blaring this video. Still love this song! 🤘🏻 RIP Kurt.

Nirvana-Pennyroyal tea Nirvana-scentless apprentice Nirvana-Aero Zeppelin The best of Nirvana for me

I grew up with pretty much everything you're listening to, but your enthusiasm is infectious...making me appreciate it even more. Thank you for that.

"WOOOHOOO" 😍😂 Man you are so adorable. I really love your sweet reaction. You have one big fans from Slovakia. God bless you 😘

Punk Rock/Grunge,heavy metal rock n roll,I love it,Youth`s gone wild,most are Rebellious,always a reason for reactions and aggression.

oh how i loved their mtv unplugged session . i remember blowing my speakers in dts (like dolbydigital5.1 i think. not sure if dts is only a european thing lol) for months . but i always had the lyrics next to me for a while hehe

Pure energy!!! Absolutely love this song!!!

When i was 8 or 10 years old.. i remember that Song on the radio in my country el salvador. This song is amazing!

"I found it hard, it's hard to find, oh well, whatever, nevermind" probably my favorite lyric of all time

we should turn him on to some older Tool like Lateralus.

Nirvana ❤️Lives in my heart forever

I didn’t know that Nirvana did this song, either. I have heard this once in a while but, not often. This is one of those songs that a person will listen to if, it plays on the radio. I never got into Nirvana. The songs tended to be a little darker than I could handle at the time. This is when my husband and I were still living in the often gloomy winters, Puget Sound. I need a lot of sunshine all year long. Thanks for the reaction, Jamel.

Alice in Chains - Junkhead (Live)

"Weird Al" "Smells like Nirvana" Will mess with you if you know the song and not the lyrics.

I don’t know you and your video appeared in my feed like magic but you’re awesome.

Friends hat and listening to Nirvana. 2 of my favorite things. Subscribed.

Back in the day I saw this video and said to myself "wow, things have changed, this is a new movement, a new sensibility - what does it mean?"

Institutionalized by suicidal tendencies aka Pepsi song is a must listen

I WAS Waiting for this one my mane!!! Song that made em famous and started a revolution. That's hasn't been even close since them

Love your videos and reactions!

The rest in peace at the end was a nice touch.

Deftones - 7 Words, My Own Summer, Be Quiet And Drive.

I'll never forget the day I saw this on MTV....the shock heard round the world. #RIP Kurt

I just found you and I've been watching you react for like 3 hours to so many songs i love from so many genres. Love that you are so eclectic.

Now you have to watch Foo Fighters with Everlong

Lol, nobody really knows the lyrics.😉 “Oh well, whatever, never mind” - that’s all we need to hear and know.

Man I'm gonna be completely honest, your reactions are the best bro. Keep it up!

First hearing this song was amazing. There were these hugely distorted guitars, then the clear, sweet single notes, and Kurt’s clear voice. I saw Nirvana sometime between 89-91, just before they broke, and their energy was amazing. RIP Kurt.

This song was the changing of the guard. 80's hair metal died the day this song came out.

React to nirvana - in bloom Please!!!

I remember when this song came out and I too never knew the lyrics but loved the sound. If you haven't done so already, you might want to see the version done by 1000 Rockers. They had 1000s of drummers, guitarists, vocalists, and keyboards playing this music at a football stadium. Quite amazing to see them keep in rhythmic timing.

I was 13, this band saved me, as dysfunctional as I was. I felt like someone else was as pissed at the world as I was!

For something a bit faster and intense of theirs, try "Territorial Pissings" and "Negative Creep"

The song you were thinking of is called Song 2 by Blur. You should react to it

Love your videos mate ! cheers from Manchester UK

I love all of these bands!

I appreciate your honesty. U keeps it real dude. So many faker ass reactors out here. Keep up the good work!

The song that killed hair metal

We played this song in band in the '90s. The whole world latched on to Smells Like Teen Spirit immediately.

this came out when I was in high school grunge rock 90s was so awesome so many great bands and great songs another great song love it

hey jamal, i really enjoy yours videos, maybe you can react to some punk rock music, like sex pistols, the ramones, dead kennedys or the exploited, cheers from chile keep it real bro!!!

Anyone else waiting for the “woohoo” part of the song?! No - just Jamel so!!! 😂😂😂

Fun fact, Kurt’s favourite song was Terry Jacks Season’s in the sun. He said in an interview that whenever he heard it he would cry:(

Loved your reaction!

The anarchy girl was always my dream when I was 13. I never found her.

No one knew the lyrics, b/c Kurt Cobain hated this song and mumbled it all the time

RIP Curt Cobain, Such a talented young man. I love your channel. It is so much fun to see you younger people are lovin' our music from back in the day. It always makes me feel great. Thank you and thank you to your lovely audience.

Love your channel!!( Thanks!!!)

Hey, you should check out Bad Religion. Their singer is amazing and he is a college professor with a PhD. His lyrics are very political and insightful, the harmonies are amazing, and the band sounds killer! I would recommend Sorrow, Kyoto Now, Generator, or anything off the album Stranger Than Fiction. Love the videos, keep ‘em comin’!

Got react to LA's own Red Hot Chili Peppers Breaking the Girl. Watch the video not the live version.

Your long pause, and then "WOO HOO", followed by another pause made me laugh...I've had a rough day---THANK YOU for making me laugh! (Great song, isn't it) :-)

Love the moment when you can put a song you heard many times to the artist and the video.. Like having a lightbulb moment...
