Kurt was pissed at the crowd after that, so they played the first chords to "Smells like Teen Spirit" and just stopped to tease them several times, then just played songs nobody wanted to hear until they ended the concert early.

I think this very channel talks about it in a video about RATM, but to a certain extent, these people sympathize with the way the message is presented. Nirvana, just like RATM, has an anger and irreverence that feel justified and purposeful, and that moves much faster than the lyrics do. You can listen to one of their songs and get the feeling that the music carries, even if the don't understand the lyrics (be it ignorance or in some cases never having even read or heard them properly). It feels absolutely like shit, but sometimes people will just get the anger and not get how to direct it at the systems that the band is desperately signaling at with their lyrics.

Fight club is about the feeling of being trapped as a man in modern society and being unable to unleash your true self. American Psycho has a similar message. The Matrix is also a metaphor for feeling trapped, feeling like your life is fake etc. These are all films about individuals who can't be themselves and are trapped by societal standards. It's something I relate to on an emotional level myself.

Finally his partners convinced him to play but he refused to sing "Smell like teen spirit" as an answer to the audience attitude.

Cobain + Nirvana have a weird relation with South Americans. The first incident I heard was how he walked past a child shooting up on heroin in the street. Openly just sitting there on the sidewalk and the kid looked up at him and smiled saying "Hey, Kurt Cobain, Nirvana ! ! ! You guys rock" or something close to that. It was a heck of a blow for him because he was also starting to use himself but I don't think he saw his own habit as being a way of condoning it for others. Today I've got a couple of Brazilian friends on Facebook. They often share Kurt Cobain meme's a lot which is weird because the context of the ones I have translated promotes an oddly skewed perception of Nirvana. They have a very right wing leaning ideology and yet they seem to LOVE NIRVANA. Am I correct for the majority or do you think I probably just have some weird ass facebook friends ? ? ?

You should definitely listen to Hole too. Courtney Love is a great feminist song writer that really captures the female experience in terms of sexual oppression, beauty standards etc. Her lyrics are very dark though, sometimes to the point of triggering. But still, it's great how she channels pure female rage. Live through this is a great album, Pretty in the inside too if you like a more grungy, dark punk sound

A Nirvana video! Heck Yeah! Cobain has literally been quoted as saying he wish he was gay, just so he could piss off homophobes." I always thought that was so cool, especially since Nirvana was the FIRST band I ever fell in love with as a confused bisexual teenager. Hearing that helped me come to terms with myself. I'll respect Kurt forever for that. He never forgot what it was like to "be different."

He wish he was gay so he wouldn't have to date someone who physically abused him in public and was hailed a feminist hero. Of course he never put in those words, but courtney love took the message. He put that in this way because feminism was never about equality and he never had a chance to complain.

Sexuality is a capitalist lie

you forgot to add this as one big one. On October 30th, 1992, Nirvana were booked to play a major show in Buenos Aires, Argentina. They were so big at that point in time that they just about sold-out José Amalfitani Stadium, which can hold nearly fifty thousand people. Prior to their set, Kurt Cobain witnessed the negative reception their hand picked opening act received, and was so incensed that he considered canceling the gig. Nirvana ultimately did perform that night, but they were sloppy and their set-list was more than a little unusual, as they purposely incorporated rare songs from their catalogue that they knew most of the audience wouldn’t be familiar with, including a couple of unreleased numbers. It ended up being one of their oddest shows, and it was all captured on videotape by a professional film crew.“When we played Buenos Aires, we brought this all-girl band over from Portland called Calamity Jane,” Kurt recalled. “During their entire set, the whole audience-it was a huge show with like sixty thousand people-was throwing money and everything out of their pockets, mud and rocks, just pelting them. Eventually the girls stormed off crying. It was terrible, one of the worst things I’ve ever seen, such a mass of sexism all at once. Krist, knowing my attitude about things like that, tried to talk me out of at least setting myself on fire or refusing to play. We ended up having fun, laughing at them (the audience). Before every song, I’d play the intro to ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ and then stop. They didn’t realize that we were protesting against what they’d done. We played for about forty minutes, and most of the songs were off Incesticide, so they didn’t recognize anything. We wound up playing the secret noise song (‘Endless, Nameless’) that’s at the end of Nevermind, and because we were so in a rage and were just so pissed off about this whole situation, that song and whole set were one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had.” (from Nirvana: The Chosen Rejects)

Kurt almost killed himself in Rome when he thought Courtney would cheat on him. Courtney herself admits that she thought about it. I believe his beliefs contributed to his misery. I believe he killed himself because he felt like he was weak and was depressed how he could be a millionaire but his baby mama would still think about cheating.

I live in Olympia, WA. Nirvana is everywhere (Not that I'm complaining.)

Actually, legally, no they can't. Rape is the act of inserting a penis into an orifice without consent. Women can sexually assault, which is virtually the same crime, but they can't rape (bullshit I know). I think the focus is on women because they make up almost all sexual assault victims and are far more likely to be sexually assaulted than a male. Although yes I agree, men can be sexually assaulted to, and it is very hard for a man to come forward and report this. A more general approcah the subject would be great

rock, while still being one of the top genres, is not in the spotlight the same way other kids of music are, like pop music mainly. I can guarantee that there at least a few bands or artists that sing about important things, but you just haven't heard of them yet since you may not listen to those genres

I remember listening to Nirvana as a kid and getting frustrated because I knew I liked it but didn't know why. I felt like I could almost -- but not quite -- understand it. In retrospect, I can say they absolutely got me thinking. Not so much about feminism (dyed-in-the-wool feminist from birth, intersectional before it became trendy, never ashamed to say it, so no awakening needed there) but about what I expected from the music I listened to. I mean, I still loved the 80s pop/rock/metal that shaped my early childhood, but I know I thought a lot more critically about music and its messages after Nirvana happened. I feel privileged to have seen them in their prime.

That’s one of the reasons I liked the “Seattle” bands because they were openly feminist and felt like a corrective towards the sexism endemic in a lot of rock.

When I was young-(boy)-er, there was this guy who would sexually harass me without me knowing what harassment was. Obviously, he took advantage of my innocence since I was four at the time. He did this every time I visited his home because my mom was best friends with his mom and dad. Then there was this year when my mom told me about rape, I was eight at the time then we went to his home for a Christmas party and he lifted me up to the mirror and put his hand up my skirt and into my underwear. I knew something was wrong, my mom told me about it, and I managed to get out before it got worse, and I convinced him to let me go. When it came to the part where you talked about Polly and its story, I began crying. I was eight years old when it happened and when you said "Can you imagine how much strength that took?" I remembered what my mom said to me when I told her about it.

One of my friends was raped at a really young age too, the rapist was either a relative or a very close friend of the family. He was caught in the act by some family members, and the family forgave him after he apologized. I don't know if he was prosecuted for it, but he absolutely should be. My friend was traumatized, and their family did nothing to protect them. All they did was tell the rapist that what they did was wrong, instead of making them talk to a therapist.

Truth. One issue I had with Christopher Cross' Cobain bio was how the author glossed over the grunge musician's feminist politics, and his involvement with riot grrl punks, his love of the Breeders, and advocating for Patty Schemel as a replacement drummer for Hole. Like somehow those things didn't correlate to his affection for his mother, sister, daughter, and Courtney Love. Or even the fact that the R&R HoF performances by Nirvana were all headed by women--a fact Cobain probably would've loved. I feel like the person who's really upholding the feminist legacy for Cobain and Nirvana is Krist Novoselic--or the dude who was in Nirvana with him for the longest amount of time, and the one who still has a serious pulse on the PNW punk scene. Not that anyone else associated with Nirvana is terrible, but Novoselic has done some pretty amazing things to ensure Nirvana's legacy remains entangled with the parallel riot grrl scene.

Well, I suppose most artists considered to be 'greats' get far more tv coverage, but that's arguably due being more pop friendly with wider appeal. Many teenagers that went to live Nirvana gigs in the late 80s to 94 will be well into their 40s now. You might have to wait a while before they have a foothold in the media you consume, but I'm sure I've seen a Nirvana documentary or two on tv before. The last concert seems to be on here, Munich Germany 1994

Fantastic video, Jesus Christ, the respect I have for Nirvana and the messages they wanted to spread will never stop growing

Yep. I became a fan of the music as a child, but as an adult after reading books, watching interviews, quotes, etc. I also became a fan of Kurt as a person. He was a self admitted feminist, anyone doubting that should read or watch some of Kurt's interviews. He even played at Rock for Choice (pro choice benefit). He was against homophobia, racism, sexism, a lot of the issues important to so many today. Considering the amount of macho posturing bands did back in the 80s and 90s, I think it's awesome that Nirvana were so openly against that shit.

Like the fact that many male victims of SA are often looked down upon or told that they 'should've enjoyed it', like that's a thing that directly stems from the patriarchy and feminists are also against. Or that men's suicide rates are so high because they were always taught to supress their emotions. That's all things that feminism wants to stop, so it's not only for women's benefit, but for everyone's. Feminism isn't trying to take anything from men we just want the same things that men have for woman all across the globe. It's simple really, and beneficial to everyone.

There's a reason for that, there are misandrists who say they're feminists. They say the fight for equality even though they've demonstrated that they think women should be superior. Thanks to feminazis, the word feminist has become synonymous with misandry

@@cryo311old No, it doesnt, there is no such thing as hatred for man. The only thing that may overwhelm man is inside of sexism, things like "man must be tough, and they cant be emotional, or they need to be alpha, etc", THIS can screw any man, but still under the idea of sexism, the same thing that is a huge problem for woman. There is a whole cultural and historical background to sexism, hundreds of years of sexism, misandry is just term for weak dudes who felt attacked by the reaction of all this hatred. Its the same for racism, racism against white people doesnt exist, in the west at least it doesnt

@@marcelosaletti1183 There is a thing as hatred for men, dismissing that is sexist. Just like how misogyny is sexism towards women, misandry is sexism towards men. Sexism is simply just hatred or prejudice based on sex or gender, men do have hatred towards them.

I loved this video, just about as much as I love Nirvana and their music. Nirvana was a band ahead of it's time, yet made it a whole generational movement. I feel like definitely the messages got lost among so many fans they had, and I can't claim that some of these songs meanings didn't miss me either. But I'm so glad they weren't afraid to speak out, and just be a booming voice among the crowd someone that they couldn't ignore.

I wanna slap my face when people say "Sappy" is about Kurt's turtle.

such a beautiful video!!! it gave me chills!! it’s so refreshing to find a video like this. wonderful commentary and it was put together very well!!

Plz do a video on The Doors or even Jim Morrison himself

This was super interesting. I’ve never been much of a Nirvana fan and you’re completely right that it gets swept under the rug. I had no idea Cobain felt so strongly about these issues, absolutely radical.

"He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he likes to sing along, but he don't know what it means"

I love this video. I've always enjoyed watching the exact people the song In Bloom is about sing along and claim they are huge Nirvana fans.

There’s a video where St Vincent says that Nirvana were feminist and this guy in the comment section kept calling everyone a bunch of “soy boys” for spreading lies. In Bloom is basically about him!

Nirvana changed the world for the better, throwing out misogyny and fascism from the mainstream. Anyone in the comments claiming feminism is cancer have a twisted idea of feminism, feminism is equality for men and women, ridding of oppression and misogyny.

So great to see the amazing charity plug at the end of this video. Also great video, was so awesome to see you covering these topics :)

'Sappy' means so much more to me now. Thank you!

nah cuz this is why i love them so much, their music is top tier but their messages too

People are going to try to say “Oh well Feminism is different now” The same argument against the current wave of feminism has been the same argument FOR DECADES now. Just because people shape these arguments to be new doesn’t mean they are.

Yes, feminism, was never about gender equality (and I'm serious) that's why curtney is hailed as a feminist hero as well s kurt, even though she was frequently publicly abusive towards him and that she's recorded being sexually abusive towards people to this day.

I’m a firm believer in equal rights and treating not just women but everyone with respect. That’s my problem with the very extreme form that has transformed an idea of equality to an idea of superiority. In my opinion it tarnishes and disrespects the hard work done by people like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Stanton, and Lucretia Mott. I dunno I just think we should be kinder and more respectful of others. It’s something I’ve been working on myself and I have to say it’s so much nicer

Feminism is just as reactionary and backwards now as it was when it was first coined.

You make incredible content and I am glad that for Nirvana, you explained their lyrics, their message and how socially aware they were. Not just they are grunt and cool. This is a great video and I love that you teamed up with No Means No because things are very important. Your videos are very good and really inspire me, I appreciate your channel very much.

“A waste of sperm and eggs” has to be one of the simplest but most effective insults out there.

This is why I love Nirvana so much! Kurt Cobain was too smart & sensitive for a world like ours. His views were so ahead of his time & everything he said still holds true today. Sad that he had to take his own life!

He was the opposite of smart. He was a feminist, drug addict, smoker. People who’s views were ahead of their time were just wrong. Their is an objective truth and Kurt and people now days have new ideals and morals and they aren’t objectively true

Great video man. It's great to see someone focusing on these issues that were so important to Kurt. I was just old enough that my own views on the world were being shaped when Nirvana broke out into the mainstream. I gravitated heavily to them and picked apart kurts lyrics. I think this is how he would want us to remember him.

We need someone like Cobain in todays day and age to react and keep people from saying shit like "walk around with my bitch on a leash" like Lil Pump does. Like they turned down millions cuz of Axyl being a piece of shit. Cobain, and all of Nirvana, are way better people than most musicians around these days.

Thorough. Nice editing, as always, and schooling me once again on the big details I somehow overlookef.

Now I respect Kurt Cobain even more
