This paper talks about, in depth the song “Smells Like Teen Spirit� by Kurt Cobain. The writer talks a lot about how this song connected with so many about growing up in America. The author repeats countless times on how Nirvana wasn’t the first band to write a song like this but it was how the song was performed that allowed people to understand what they were talking about. The writer talks about how the song at times was distorted and the lyrics weren’t articulated very well. That was the basis of his point that this is why the song connected to so many people. The author used the analogy of someone hitting their finger with a hammer and how every body knows how bad that hurts. The author compares that to the song saying that every body knows what Nirvana was feeling or talking about in the song. The author also talks about how his older brother, who was nine years older but did not understand it. The author at that time was nine and did not enjoy this music at all. But as he got older Nirvana became one of his favorite bands, and he did understand the song. The author then made the point that Nirvana made the generation gap clear.
