Smells Like Teen Spirit? ummmm.... no
editI've been looking all over the place for something citable to allow the comparison between the two videos - it seems, on the surface, to be totally original research. I did find one blog-like site that had this rundown:
- Dreary High School Gathering Place
- MCR: Auditorium.
- Nirvana: Gym.
- “Edgy” Accessory Flaunted By Cheerleaders
- MCR: Gas masks, gun-looking objects.
- Nirvana: Armpit hair, anarchy symbols.
- Semi-Synchronized Gesture That Indicates Crowd Approval
- MCR: Saluting.
- Nirvana: Headbanging.
- Crowd-Storming-Stage-Scene?
- MCR: Yes–and the cheerleaders look scared.
- Nirvana: Yes–and the cheerleaders hold their own, even though the possibility of crowd-surfers clocking them in the head with a steel-toed boot is high.
- Solitary Figure At Clip’s End
- MCR: Hotline for “reaching out” if you’re feeling violent. (Wait, what about working out your aggressions in the pit?)
- Nirvana: Tied-up guy in a dunce cap–who, no doubt, would love to “reach out,” given the chance.
Seems more tongue-in-cheek than anything, but it does serve to point out that the supposed similarities are actually pretty clearly differences. Add in the fact that MCR were actually going for "The Wall" and substituting a high school for the movie's arena setting, and I think the only thing that ties this video to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the fact that there's a high school involved.
I'm removing that uncited opinion as Original Research; if anyone has a problem with that, please address it here. Rockypedia (talk) 01:44, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm GhostRiver. I'll be reviewing this article against the good article criteria. By doing so, I am earning points for the WikiCup and the January 2025 GAN Backlog Drive. Although a quid pro quo review is not necessary, it is appreciated. You can see what open good article nominations I have here.
I will go through the article section by section checking it against the criteria. Once I have finished my review, I will place the article on hold, giving you seven days to respond. If you need more time, just reach out! While I'll always put the article on hold once it's ready for you to look at, you may start making changes before I complete my review. — GhostRiver 20:57, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
