MUSICVID #17: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

POSSIBLE POINTS OF INFLUENCE:
  • The feet tapping at the beginning, part of easy movements of the body representing the music

ACT: Nirvana
YEAR: 1991
ALBUM: Nevermind
DIRECTOR: Samuel Bayer
LABEL: DGC Records (owned by UMG)
SINGLE?: Yes, second 


BACKGROUND

  • One of the (if not the) defining bands of grunge, a sub-genre of alternative rock, Nirvana were active
  • Their music will forever be overshadowed by the death of their lead vocalist Kurt Cobain, officially declared a suicide (although there is much debate over this, as written about in the linked article above)

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOUND + VISUALS
