methodwriter85 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 In this episode of Teens React, we see kids react to Nirvana, the seminal 1990's band that defined a generation. I love seeing kids appreciating old music from another era. I grew up listening to Motown oldies station, and it's an annoying when people automatically reject something because it's old, and I love that these kids were able to get into this music. Think about it- not one of these kids were alive or even in utero when Kurt Cobain existed. It's great to see that young people today can still find themselves relating to their music. It is mind-boggling to think that Nirvana only released 3 albums, and they've persisted and endured long enough that people are playing their music on classic rock stations. 2
Slytherin Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 "I actually like old Music like that" I love that comment. I love Nirvana and I still listen to their Music But I can't understand that it's been 20 years ! How is that possible when I'm still 27 I was so sad when Kurt Cobain died
Andy78 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 How is that possible when I'm still 27 Is that 27 in Care Bear years?
Slytherin Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Is that 27 in Care Bear years? yep - and at heart
Adam Phillips Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I remember when Kurt Cobain died. Ugh. I and my crew of jocks were really down about that one. We were all huge Nirvana fans. There was something about his privileged-white-boy-cynicism that struck a chord within us. Most people remember Nirvana from the album Nevermind, but it was their final studio album In Utero that seared itself into my synapses. I can remember, uhh, inducing an altered state of perception, if you get my drift, and then listening to "All Apologies" over and over. Not that I endorse either activity. Anyway, it was damn fine music. I continued to be a huge fan of Dave Grohl and his band Foo Fighters after that. My best friend and business partner, himself a good amateur guitarist, did too. I think In Your Honor is his favorite rock album ever.
Site Administrator Cia Posted March 24, 2014 Site Administrator Posted March 24, 2014 LMAO. My kids were just like... what are you watching? Who is Nirvana? Yet they know ACDC, Van Halen, etc... so I don't feel so bad.
methodwriter85 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 Nirvana came out when I was 5 years old, but I had older siblings so I listened to it that way. "In Bloom" is my favorite song by them.
Thorn Wilde Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) I adore Nirvana. My favourite song is Pennyroyal Tea, I think. But I like all their songs. Just a couple of days ago it was exactly 20 years since Kurt Cobain killed himself. Sad. EDIT: Watching the video now, and the fact that one of those kids sounds surprised when she says, 'He sounds the same when it's live' makes me weep for the younger generation. Ugh.

hh5 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 hey one of the teens is professing to be a groupie "I love him" lol maybe until she sees how old the guy is or was
JamesSavik Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Went through the same crap with Jim Morrison in 1975. 1
Thorn Wilde Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 hey one of the teens is professing to be a groupie "I love him" lol maybe until she sees how old the guy is or was He was only 27 when he died (same age as Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson and Amy Winehouse to mention a few members of the infamous Club 27), and teenagers have had crushes on far older celebrities. I think they'll live.
mickey1952 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Went through the same crap with Jim Morrison in 1975. And with Joplin in 1970. And with Hendrix a few weeks before that.
hh5 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 yeah but some may feel oh he's 27 like 50 years ago ... I can't have his love child ... he be an old fart if he was still alive some may feel like u say agreed they'll live but there's many weird realizations that would shock ppl He was only 27 when he died (same age as Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson and Amy Winehouse to mention a few members of the infamous Club 27), and teenagers have had crushes on far older celebrities. I think they'll live.
Thorn Wilde Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Went through the same crap with Jim Morrison in 1975. Surely you mean '71, not '75?
JamesSavik Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Surely you mean '71, not '75? Yes- 71- my mistake. I forgot. It's amazing that the Doors went from nobody to super-group between 67-71. Edited April 9, 2014 by jamessavik
Former Member Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 This is one of the bands "The Cool Kids" listened to in my friend's basement lmao. They were the Jocks,The Preppy Rich Boy, and the pretty girls all secret "Stoners". We'd hang out in her basement with them and play pool, I learned alot in those days about Sex,Drugs,& good music . And for those brief moments we were "The Cool Kids". Heart Shaped Box & Lithium are probably my top 2 favorite songs by them. Are we all going to start growing our hair longer and bringing back those Grungy Sweaters? lol.
