"It's really easy to keep your dignity and sign to a major label.... Most people haven't any dignity to begin with." - Kurt Cobain The dark and dusty high school gymnasium appeared like a odd place for a musical trend. The cheerleaders appear to be mannequins, and the bleacher bums appear to be they haven't considered a bathtub in years. A janitor looks like he's adding to the mess rather than cleaning it up. As the music begins slowly, the masses continues to be asleep. But as the tempo and volume of the music slowly but surely increase before chorus is unleashed at full power, the crowd changes into a head-banging mob filled with crowd surfers. In the middle of everything is Kurt Cobain, the grubby blond who could have been recognised incorrectly as one of the masses if he wasn't retaining a acoustic guitar. The track and the music training video both end in full-throated chaos as the frontman for Nirvana and the masses start ripping up the gym. Cobain later mentioned that he tried to model the track after one The Pixies might have done, but "HAS THE AROMA OF Teen Spirit" and its accompanying music training video ushered in rock's "grunge" activity in the beginning of the 1990s. The track, ironically named after a deodorant, captured the culture in its entirety. A a reaction to famous brands the prior decade's yuppies and acts like M.C. Hammer, grunge became a audio and culture for angst-ridden teenagers and the disaffected young ones who were proud to be ordinary. Combining punk, metallic, and hard rock, the grunge audio emanated out of Seattle from groupings like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, presenting the young 10 years its trademark audio. Whether these groupings intended for it or not, grunge became the most popular music of the 10 years, and the appearance and audio both became trendy fads.
