This here is a video of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit written by Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl and produced by Butch Vig.  The song was released on September 10th, 1991.  The song itself starts slow and gradually builds up in tempo and dynamics.  The vocals and screams of Kurt Cobain shows emotion and the angst of the younger generations are portrayed brilliantly in this song.

This video and song is important in American history as it redefined the music industry.  With this song comes the creation of an alternative rock type music called grunge.  This song would shortly become the unofficial anthem for the younger generations known as Generation X.  For those who haven’t heard this song yet I strongly recommend you do.  Take five minutes to enjoy this song.
