That being said, you are dead on right about one thing, which is the most important thing, no one would give a rats ass about grunge or any grunge band if it werent for Nirvana. They launched the movement and made it as huge as it was, they didnt just effect the music that was around at the time, but the rock star image and look as well, their influence is still quite present today, even if grunge is dead, Nirvana lives on. If thats not major impact, i dont know what is.

I'm not disagreeing with that at all.
I'm saying that SLTS is overplayed, ****, and overrated.
Any other song is easily as good as SLTS

And the first person to use the term "grunge" was Mark Arm of Mudhoney/Green River. And guess what...he used it to describe the music BEFORE Nirvana

Oh then i guess we can all gay kids in the 1800s the first punks?

You didn't bother to describe what makes a grunge band grunge either.

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
hello, hello, hello, how low?
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial

Tell me exactly what makes this youth relatable

Is that really hard to understand?... Everything in bold is all metaphors for gods sake, of course its gonna sound obscure, that dosent mean it is persay, the "load up on guns, bring your friends" at the begining is a reference to the songs main plot...The song is about a youth gang that prepares for a shootout, and the songs protoganist is confused about weither or not he should leave the gang.

Maybe that will help a little, but if you dont even know what Cobain had in mind when he wrote it (like many people) then of course it wont make any sense to you, that dosent mean it wont make sense to others.

I agree that the Chorus lyrics not in bold make little sense, and Kurt himself said that was intentional, he said those lyrics of the song didnt directly mean anything, but he put them in the song to somewhat confuse people into trying to figure out what it means, as a joke, kinda like what John Lennon did in I Am The Walrus.

This is ridiculous. Nirvana had better songs than SLTS. These bands were grunge, BEFORE Nirvana....therefore Grunge existed before Nirvana, it just wasnt the "cool" thing

Too bad you are very off on the meaning of the song.
The song is about the apathy of the youth

Must you get angry.....
A debate does not mean someone has to be angry
You will find that not everyone agrees with you on all things

Grunge is a style of music....a subgenre
What makes punk music punk, and pop music pop

Thats the theme of the song, i was talking about the plot you dumbass.

If you cant even tell the difference between themes and plots, you should leave.

And the gang plot is tied to the apathy of youth theme, idiot.

Then explain to us all the things that Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Soundgarden have in common.

The punk rock and culture movement began in the late
1960's. It formed from pre, or now, proto-punk bands such as The New York
Dolls and Velvet Underground. This type of rock was very minimalist and it
started in the underground streets of New York. Punk became less
minimalistic, more obvious, and fashionable when it commenced in the UK.
This started bands like The Sex Pistols and The Clash who performed a way
more abrasive and underlying punk rock. With the commencement of these
bands punk rock triggered millions of youth because of the relevant message
it instills. Its rebellious, different, and apathetic attitude towards social norms
and government stirred the water for many to begin their own punk band.
This culture changed millions of lives and inspired the hearts of the youth in
the world for generations. Hopefully it will continue to inspire and prevail the
positive message it always has, forever.
