Nirvana was a popular American rock band from Aberdeen, Washington. With the lead single smells like teen spirit from the band's 1991 album nevermind, Nirvana exploded into the mainstream, bringing along with it an offshoot of punk and alternative rock that the mainstream media of the time referred to as grunge. Other Seattle grunge bands such as Sound garden, alice in chains and pearl jam also gained in popularity, and, as a result, alternative rock became a dominant genre on radio and music television during the early-to-middle 90s.
As Nirvana's frontman, Kurt Cobain was referred to in the media as the "spokesman of a generation", with Nirvana the "flagship band" of "Generation X". Cobain was uncomfortable with the attention, and placed his focus on the band's music, challenging the band's audience with their third studio album In Utero. While Nirvana's mainstream popularity waned in the months following its release, their core audience cherished the band's dark interior, particularly after their 1993 performance on MTV Unplugged.
Nirvana's brief career ended with the death of Cobain in 1994, but the band's popularity expanded in the years that followed. Eight years after Cobain's death, song topped radio playlists around the world. Song was an unfinished demo that the band recorded two months prior to Cobain's death. Since their debut, the band has sold more than fifty million albums worldwide, including more than ten million copies of Nevermind in the US alone. Nirvana remains a consistent presence on radio stations worldwide
