Overall Meaning

The song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana is widely considered one of the most iconic songs of the 90s, and possibly of all time. The lyrics seem to capture the feeling of disaffected youth and rebellion that was prevalent in the decade. The opening lines, "Load up on guns, bring your friends / It's fun to lose and to pretend" suggest a nihilistic attitude where self-destructive behavior is seen as a form of entertainment. The following lines describe a female character who is "over-bored and self-assured", implying that she is looking for excitement or meaning in her life but may not be entirely comfortable with what she finds.


The chorus of "Hello, hello, hello, how low / 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" is often repeated and has become one of the most recognizable parts of the song. The repetition of "hello" suggests a desire for connection or attention, while the line about feeling "stupid and contagious" seems to echo the alienation and disillusionment that many people felt during the time.


Overall, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" can be seen as both a reflection of societal discontent and an anthem of rebellion. The iconic chorus has become a part of popular culture, and the song's legacy continues to inspire new generations of musicians and fans.
