The first some on my album is Always Dirty Never Clean by Anarbor. Two years ago I went to my first warped tour. There are hundreds of bands and THOUSANDS of people. It was also my first general admission concert and it was completely insane, but I loved it. The first band I saw was Anarbor and the last song was Always Dirty Never Clean and it has stuck with me ever since. Whenever I listen to it, it takes me back to that exact moment. I was so happy, the people around me were happy; it was a pure
Seattle grunge rock and alternative rock scene with their album Nevermind. The album’s cover art is still one of the most controversial even though the album is considered to be one of the top 100 albums of all time. I first heard Nirvana's single “Smells Like Teen Spirit” at my friend’s house and that day I wanted to know who Nirvana was, and how do I get my hands on this CD. At the time, I was only 14 and the next day I asked my mom a ride to the local record store to pick up the CD. I walked into

Not long after, fans knew the exact choreography to the songs like ‘Tearing up my Heart’ and ‘Bye Bye Bye’. Although Nsync is strong, Backstreet’s ‘I Want it That Way’ shaped future music videos and boy bands to use similar components. An example of this 2010’s boy band, Big Time Rush’s video for ‘Worldwide’. The

Kurt Donald Cobain The subject of this writing, is on a man who changed music; a man on the level of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison. This individual is Kurt Donald Cobain from the revolutionary grunge/rock band, Nirvana. While some people would never consider Cobain to hold a major role in the shaping of our music and culture today, they haven’t taken the time to look around. Many people overlook the fact that music played a huge role in the lives of Americans during the 90’s.
As a child Kurt loved the Beatles, but by 9 discovered the heavier music of Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath and KISS (rollingstone.com). Krist was into bands similar to Kurt at a young age, Led Zepplin, Devo, Black Sabbath and Aerosmith (Azerrad 15). Like Krist and Kurt, Dave was into punk at a young age. His first concert was to see Naked Raygun when he was thirteen years old (Azerrad 136). Throughout the music career of Nirvana they have achieved many things.

Another characteristic is that it quickly appeals to the listener and strikes a chord inside them. Whether it is a dance groove the listener likes or the emotional content of the lyrics they will remember the song if there is one thing that just hit them deep inside. One final point is that the song has to be really tightly worked. All the lyrics and music should be interwoven together as if
distinctive way to fuse alternative punk with 70's rock (Nirvana, Nevermind).

After the release of “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” white, middle-class youth of the United States finally had a style of music to call their own and express their “teenage anthems” (Stuessy, Joe)
influence on the music industry, his unintended voice to angst-ridden society and even the fashion industry cashed in on his style. Cobain, the lead guitarist, writer and singer for a band called Nirvana shook the groggy music world with the release of Smells Like Teen Spirit from the album Nevermind over twenty years ago on September 10, 1991.

whistle in the wind like the sound of a child’s toy, whilst the sound of the crying babies echoes through the grounds of Big Bird Primary School as if it were a stuck record. When the children have arrived and the playground has began to fill with fragile, pleasant little children ready for new day of fun learning. When the brass bell sounds, each and every child on the playground grabs their bag and tries to “bagsy” a place at the front. When the teachers arrive like soldiers, the sound

She tells of her parents’ fruitless effort to shield their children from the harsh realities of Jim Crow by planning out virtually the whole trip.
