Smells Like Teen Spirit was written by Kurt Cobain for his band, Nirvana and is found on the album Nevermind. Kurt got the name when Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Le Tigre) spray painted "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on the walls of his apartment. She spray painted this because, at the time, Kurt was dating Tobi Vail (Bikini Kill, riot grrrl) and she wore Teen Spirit deoderant, so Hanna said Kurt smelt like her. A parody of the song was later made by Weird Al Yankovic called "Smells Like Nirvana".

A phrase used to remark on the stupidity of teen, especially high school drama. It is used as a means to put things in perspective, often uttered by an observer of a pointless, fruitless argument that has to do with some aspect of dating.
Etymology: The term was sued in a completely different context by the early 90's grunge band, Nirvana.

A ok song by the greatest band ever, Nirvana.
It was majorly overplayed and was killed by MTV and pop Radio Stations.
Go listen to Come as you are, Rape Me, You Know You're right, About a Girl, and Silver if you want some good Nirvana songs

The most overrated song that has been #1 for almost a decade, always beating out the superior Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Sung by Kurt Cobain, commonly referred to by degenerate youth as "God".
"Smells Like Teen Spirit sucks. Thriller is a better song, and a better music video. You know it, and I know it. So get over it."

The most shittiest, overrated song of all time. Stop hopping Kurt's dick, you stupid MTV kids. The truth is that Nirvana were an underground pop punk band (not "grunge" - there's no such thing as grunge.) that accidentally made it into the mainstream because MTV overrated Smells Like Teen Spirit, their most poppiest song.
