Tobi Vail and Kathleen Hanna of the punk band Bikini Kill found a brand of deoderant in a store in Olympia Washington one night in 1990. They both found the name hilarious. It was called ‘Teen Spirit’.
It was marketed to teen girls with girly type fragrances. Vail was Kurt Cobain’s girlfriend at the time and was creatively ransacking Cobain’s apartment one night with pal Hanna. Hanna scrawled a suitably riot grrrl insult on a wall with a black sharpie…Kurt smells like Teen Spirit.
Cobain mistook the context and regarded it as a pat on the back, a reference to his concern about teenage alienation and apathy.
It was not until months after the song was released that he was made aware of the irony. In spite of the misunderstanding, the single struck a chord with disaffected youth and resulted in Nirvana’s stunning rise to grunge infamy and the unintentional empowerment of a generation.
