About Discography


The discography basically just tells you about Nirvana's albums and what the songs are about
Bleach - (1989) Album produced by Jack Endino; drums by Chad Channing except where otherwise noted.

Blew - The whole song conveys themes of entrapment.
Floyd the Barber - A song about a small town that goes bad, the title is taken from a character on The Andy Griffith Show. Everyone turns out to be a mass-murderer. The song also shows Freudian castration fears. Drums: Dale Crover
About A Girl - A song written for Kurt's girlfriend Tracy. She threatened to kick him out if he didn't get a job.
School - A song about the incestous Seattle scene. The bands seem to resemble high school cliques.
Love Buzz - A cover song from the group Shocking Blue from the Netherlands. Chris wanted kurt to put this song in the album so kurt rewrote the guitar tab for it.
Paper Cuts - Part of the lyrics are based on a true story of a family that Kurt was acquainted with, who locked their children in a room. Other lyrics have to deal with parents, and neglect. Drums: Dale Crover
Negative Creep - The first person narrative from an antisocial person
Scoff - A song that's directed towards the people who didn't believe in Kurt's musical aspirations
Swap Meet - A battle of the sexes put in the background of a Sunday swap meet.
Mr. Moustache - Speaks out against the stereotypical male macho image.
Sifting - Seems to take on authority figures with it's mention of preachers and teachers.
Big Cheese - This song is written about Sub Pop man Jonathan Poneman and the pressures he put on the band.
Downer - Kurt's attempt at a political song. Drums: Dale Crover

Nevermind - (1991) Album produced by Butch Vig; all drums by Dave Grohl

Smells Like Teen Spirit - An attack on the apathy of our own generation.
In Bloom - An attack on people who listen to certain music for the wrong reason. Imagine the macho, gun toting guy who sings along to Nirvana, but has no clue what he's singing about.
Come As You Are - A song full of contradictions on how we act versus how we think society thinks we should act.
Breed - Growing up and being trapped by middle class America.
Lithium - A first person narrative of a nervous breakdown, or an update of the Marxist description of religion as "opiate of the masses." An ode to disconnection.
Polly - Based on the actual kidnapping of a 14 year old girl and her torture.
Territorial Pissings - Multi-themed song that attacks macho men.
Drain You - A song about (plainly and simply) love. Highly medical theme.
Lounge Act - A song about having a certain vision and being smothered by a relationship.
Stay Away - An attack on any conformist clique.
On A Plain - Many small lines of poetry having multi themes.
Something in the Way - A song about Kurt's experiences living under a bridge when he was kicked out of home.
Endless, Nameless - Previously called "The Noise Jam." An experimental song created when one of the takes on Lithium went bad.
