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.

1. A brand of deodorant.
2. A song name based on the brand of deodorant. It may be a shitty song but you can deal with it and listen to it anyways because it's by NIRVANA.

Nirvana song that symbolizes grunge and, more than any other song, defines 90's music. My personal opinion is that the guitar riff is pretty good, but if you take a look at the lyrics, they are pretty random. The point of the song isn't really the lyrics, though. This is more about the guitars and practicing the style of grunge, which is more apparent in the music video. What it looks like is a stripped-down performance with excited teens in a sweaty gym.
With the lights out/ it's less dangerous/ Here we are now/
Entertain us/ I feel stupid/ and contagious/ Here we are now
Entertain us/ A mulatto/ An albino/ A mosquito/ My Libido/ Yeah
How much more random can you get? Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't really about anything. The title comes (indirectly) from deodorant. Maybe that's what the sweaty fans need when they're jumping around in the poorly ventilated gym. Hey, just a guess.

A very good but overplayed song by Nirvana that Kurt Cobain claimed was his attempt at making "the ultimate pop song." Inspired heavily by The Pixies, according to Cobain, in fact he called the song a "Pixies rip-off", though the now extremely famous riff is often compared to Boston's "More Than a Feeling". Title was inspired by a friend of his telling him he "smelled like teen spirit." Kurt had no clue that there was a deoderant of that name and took it as though he was teenage-like. Basically the song that killed hair metal music such as Van Halen, Gusn N Roses, Poison, Whitesnake etc. I personally like the song a lot though I must admit the radio stations have killed it by now. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was chosen by Rolling Stone as the 9th greatest rock song of all time. I suppose influencially, it was up there, virtually inspiring every hard rock band after them, though there are better Nirvana songs. In my opinion, what the song is isa very good part punk, part 70s style hard rock, part Pixies soft-hard effort piece of music that is a lot better than the other trash that was out at the time.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" destroyed the trash music known as hair metal though unfortunetely ended up influencing tons of bands that sound nothing like Nirvana, such as nu metal and pop punk shitbands.

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 song that 70% of Nirvan's so called "fans" say is the the best nirvana song ever. They are all n00bs to Nirvana and fake, they are in no way real fans and give them a bad name. They should listen to their real great songs like rape me, heart shaped box and you know your'e right! I'm not saying it's a bad song it is just overated and takes too much attention away from Nirvana's best songs.
prepy fan: het you like nirvana?
real fan: ye they kick ass! What's your favourite song?
prepy fan: smells like teen spirit!
real fan: STFU u n00b listen to their best songs rather than the most overated one!
