First Time Hearing Rock Band "NIRVANA" 

Shout out to my dude in the middle, educating these guys on Kurt and the bands influence. Awesome reaction!

The day this dropped on MTV, it changed music forever.... Nirvana killed mainstream Heavy Metal and gave birth to grunge/punk mainstream. Literally shook our world in high school.

"How do you know who Nirvana is?" The real question is how do you NOT know who Nirvana is?! I'm glad you all enjoyed them.

The guy in the middle knew the score, knew what a huge deal this song was. You could see it in his face. So happy the other guys loved this epic song.

I'm Gen X (born late 70s). This was our teen music. I remember seeing Nirvana in the PNW sometime in '91-ish. Several other Seattle bands were on the bill. Every one of them great performers and accessible to their music fans. What a time to be young!

Three minutes of Nirvana and already inspired to start a band, that's awesome. Kurt wanted to inspire people to get into punk rock ethics, start bands, and grow up to destroy this corrupt system.

Loved that phrase at 4:29 "they really used instruments and stuff". It struck me because its quite true. A lot of modern music is programmed.

Fun Fact: Nirvana's drummer is Dave Grohl, he is the lead singer of the Foo Fighters and (in my opinion) he is one of the best musical talents ever

In the early 90s, four bands emerged from the obscure Seattle underground, and took the world by storm. They were: Nirvana Alice in Chains Soundgarden Pearl Jam Collectively, they were known as "Grunge Music." Please check all four of these bands out. Every one of them, shook the world to it's very knees.

Love how Nirvana makes everyone want to be in a rock band! Awesome

Shout out to the dude in the gray hoodie in the back who actually knew who Kurt Cobain and Nirvana were.. props to you for listening to all kinds of music.

"they really use instruments" that hit different.. idk why but it did lol

You dont know how people lost their minds when this came out in the 90s. It was unlike anything people really knew about. Pixies had this soft to hard to soft music style but nirvana just took it next level imo

I am a 50 year old white woman from South Carolina and you guys make my day. I get up every morning just to see what y'all are up too. Keep doing what you do!!

Guy in the middle always shares great insight and knowledge.....he knows his music across all genres!

Watching rap/hip hop fans reacting to rock for the first time is just as fun as watching metal heads reacting to rap for the first time Everyone always finds something to appreciate and respect Much love, subscribing

You guys should try Nirvana Unplugged, let’s you really see how incredible they truly were.

Them: This is old-school Me: cries in middle-aged This came out when I was about 13 and, outside of the Seattle music scene, was most people’s introduction to grunge music. It’s the genre which pretty much defined my high school years. We didn’t know what hit us because it was so different. Check out the drummer, Dave Grohl’s band Foo Fighters. “The Pretender” is a good one to start with.

I love how Brandon says, "When he killed himself..then corrects and says, When they found him dead"... TRUTH Brandon, there has always been an issue with how he died- And he is right with wanting them to know who Motley Crew is! Great rock there, as well!! Good videos,guys!

If you didn't know, the drummer of Nirvana is now the singer of Foo Fighters.

Fun facts about the video : Two days before the shoot, the band handed out flyers asking fans to appear in the video, while the LA radio station KXLU also made an on-air announcement call-out for extras. The band’s flyer read: “Nirvana needs YOU… You should be 18 to 25 years old and adopt a high-school persona, ie preppy, punk, nerd, jock. The cheerleaders were girls recruited from local strip clubs.

Being an original old-school Nirvana fan, and them being my favorite band, I enjoyed seeing the younger generation becoming keen to such sick music!! I also loved how the one dude knew a bit about Kurt, and Nirvana! I'll definitely watch more here if you do more Nirvana, and you should do some of their live videos too. Korn, System of a Down, and Slipknot are a few phenomenal bands, if you haven't already checked them out, you should!! It will be worth it! If you need song suggestions from any of these bands, let me know. Take care.

Lived in Seattle in 1980 and 90s. It was an incredible music scene with so many talented musicians forming bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and so many others. Could see the bands for $6 and it made it fun going from band to band in one night. You got to see these beautiful men walking around the city during the day. Crazy time and loved it.

Respect to that brother in the middle he knows his sh!t man . Respect to NIRVANA - this band changed music at the time it was 💯🔥🔥🔥🎶❤

This one song completely changed the landscape of music when it came out. It simultaneously killed the hair metal genre of the 80's and kickstarted the grunge genre of the 90's. One band, one song, changed the world. Then they followed it up with several more, and their MTV Unplugged concert is one of the best of all time.

I feel simultaneously old, proud of the incredible musicians I grew up with, and happy I rocked grunge in real-time.

4:23 The "wow, music has really changed, they were actually using instruments, bro" just makes me cry

YES!! Finally some grunge for the GenXers!! This song and grunge saved rock and roll! Grunge was a sub-genre of alternative. The typical "grunge" song was driven by heavy instrument distortion and angst-filled lyrics that a lot of us young folks were drawn to. As I've posted before, to completely understand the impact grunge had on Gen X, you have to understand the prior decade, the 80's. Most of us had parents who were busy climbing up the corporate ladder or we had one parent struggling to make ends meet! Either way we were alone a lot. The music was horrible in my opinion, a lot of one-hit wonders, pop princesses, and dudes in bright spandex, eyeliner and big, over-processed hair. The lyrics were empty and my friends and I couldn't relate to them. When grunge made it's way to the midwest, most of us became grunge. It became a "look" and we were all the way in! Finally, there were lyrics that spoke to us! A group of young midwest GenX misfits finally found their place. It's sad that most of the "grunge" OGs are gone! I miss that era the most! It was a magical time to be young! Andrew Wood - RIP Kurt Cobain - RIP Layne Staley - RIP Chris Cornell - RIP Scott Weiland - RIP I have to mention Chester-RIP - he came later but he spoke to my soul! I hope Heaven has a stage and off to the right, a pit!!

This song almost singlehandedly changed the musical landscape of my high school years overnight.

I enjoy the young man in the middle. He seems like he truly listens to the music to understand it. I feel like he has a deep soul and would be a great person to have a deep conversation with. I wish great things for you.

This guy on the back dictates so much respect by simply being respectful himself. That's a huge lesson to so many people...

Guy in the Grenada shirt, when told he's about to break his neck rocking out, says "this is how the song makes me feel". You get it my friend! You get it!

‘They really use instruments & stuff..’ 😂😂 I. Am. Dead.

I was at a HS weekend party in 1991. Nirvanas “ In Bloom” was playing on the radio. The room fell silent. We all bobbed our heads and tapped our feet. At the end of the song. One guy stands up and said.”Holy shit!” It was magical. A few weeks later. Everyone was wearing flannel and gone were the neon color shirts and 80s hair band hair. The music spoke to us kids who had boomer parents who gave us the keys to the house and were at work all of time. We hated our parents and would rebelled in anger..

This song and video changed the world and my life. It instantly made all the hair bands look stupid and shifted the course of rock and roll. I will never forget it! My music buddies and I all bought instruments and made a band all because of this song. It was an awesome part of my life.

The drummer for this band Dave has a massive band of his own. Spectacular guitarist

This was pretty funny lol. This song literally CHANGED THE WORLD!!! Even the rap/hiphop world!

Came here for Nirvana, never seen you guys before, but props to you all for embracing and appreciating quality music even if its outside your comfort zone. Mad respect to the guy at the back who knew about Kurt and Nirvana and seemed to have genuine admiration showing himself to be a broadminded, cultured individual. I wish you all every success with your channel, and i am def going to check out more of your vids.

Man, you guys are making me feel old as hell. I was 14 when this came out. I originally hated it because I was listening to rap at the time, but Nirvana has been my favorite band since 92 and the reason why I'm a musician.

I became a full on grunge girl after I heard Nirvana the first time. They changed so many of us. Thank you for this!

"We should totally make a rock band" greatness 🙌

This is my era, I was in highschool when grunge was everything! Thank you guys for venturing out You won’t be sorry!

It makes me happy to see that ppl are still discovering Nirvana and loving it!!

There are people who don't know who Nirvana is? Holy shit...

Kurt came from nothing and changed everything. Love the guy in the middle bringing the Nirvana lessons. "Our little group has always been and always will until the end..."

Ah, the music of my youth. Nevermind came out when I was 17 and changed my life.

lmfao the guy in the back getting pissed his friends don’t know who kurt is is literally me 😂

The drummer, Dave Grohl, formed the Foo Fighters after Kurt Cobain’s death. He is the lead singer and also plays guitar. They go hard.

Y'all are so adorable! I was born in 1957, so I'm ancient, but I did get to live through the dawn of rock n' roll. I get so much joy from watching your reaction videos. You remind me of some of the high school students I used to teach (or try to) back in the day. Much appreciation for you and what you 💛 ✨ 💓 ❤

It’s NOT the 80s. It’s the 90s. Nice to see Kurt put smiles on your faces. REAL LEGENDS NEVER DIE.

I would loooooooooooooove love love for you guys to do more rock music. You'd be surprised at how anti-cop anti-establishment Rock is.

I remember the first time I ever saw this video..I was FIVE. I knew even at that age, that I was watching something spectacular. Nirvana is still one of my fav bands. Checkout “Zombie” by the Cranberries or some Alice In Chains “Would?”, “Man In A Box”, “Rooster”, and much more!

Guys, the Beatles are timeless. Give them a chance-they started it all.

There's A LOT of music you don't know. Props to middle dude. Kurt Cobain pretty much started the grunge/alternative Era in the 90's. He didn't like being famous, he just wanted to play music.

Raised in WA, lived about 10 mins from his house- his music was and still is a massive part of my life

Watching you guys enjoy that made me truly smile. One of the top 5 most important songs all time. 🤟🏼

The drummer then became the lead of Foo Fighters. Plus check out Children Of The Korn ft Ice Cube Enjoy🤘

First time I found out the drummer, David Grohl, ended up making his own band, The Foo Fighters, after Nirvana was no more.. still one of my favorite music facts.

We listen to this in the van in the early 90’s on cassette tape. It cranked and fired us up for our college soccer games my guys! FIRE!

This song revolutionised metal and in an instant ended hair metal. Nobody heard anything like this before these guys!

Don't knock the age of music guys there are awesome bands from 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s

Dude sitting in the back really knows his sh**! Much respect!

Hey saxophone was rock in the 70s and 80s - whatever you pick up, learning an instrument will definitely change your life and the way you think. They've shown it rewires the brain in a lot of positive ways, so start a band and just have fun with it - you guys have one huge journey ahead of you with rock, and I can't wait to witness it, this is the stuff that made me who I am, from The Doors to Nirvana and Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Led Zeppelin and a thousand more, like every bit of guitar from 1965 - 2000 (I was listening to my father's old record albums as a kid, and was 3 when MTV went on the air). This song was the Summer before 9th grade for me, and Grunge music like this shaped all of high school for us - yeah the dude on the cover IS 30, and a little freaked out by the whole thing lmao Poor guy has the most famous naked baby picture in history

Sometimes I wish they would listen more than they talk.. Nirvana are LEGENDS!!

Once again loving the CartierFamily! Also a huuuuuuge fan of Nirvana, can’t wait to watch all they videos! Don’t see a lot of us blacks liking Nirvana and Linkin Park.

I would LOVE to see you guys delve into rock. Your subs would go through the roof. SOO fun to watch ya’ll!! You don’t know who Motley Crue is?? 😂

Literally broke the metal scene. Overnight, once this album was released big hair metal was dead and grunge was king.

The drummer for Nirvana is in the rock n roll hall of fame for two different bands Nirvana and Later after he started the Foo Fighters and they are in the hall too. Nirvana changed music forever they were the band back in the day! Try the song “Where did you sleep last night” on mtvs unplugged you will truly see Nirvanas greatness

"They really use instuments"! Greatest quote ever! Kind of sad the state of music right now.

The guy in the middle(or in the back) , everyone needs a friend like this guy! He's cool AF

They changed the game. Rock music was the 80's hair bands (Def Leopard, Poison, Guns N Roses, etc.) and Nirvana ended ALL of that. Grunge music was the fad immediately when this song came out. Seattle became the epicenter of grunge since so many bands came out of the Seattle area - Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and others.

I vibe with bro at the back so hard 😂 like hanging out with my younger mates “how TF you don’t know who ..... is?!”

Love the guy in the backs knowledge about these older bands. Great job man in the back

I grew up in the 90's, Nirvana blew up when I was in elementary school and they got heavy play on Mtv back when they were still playing videos. Nirvana is legendary, and their drummer has a spinoff band, Foo Fighters y'all should react to. Both catalogs are deep!

I so love watching you guys open-mindedly digging into rock music I listen to every genre. But I love how you guys enjoy The Rock music.

I moved to Seattle from Portland in spring of 1990 and I bought a lot of cds from stuff I heard on MTV and underground radio up there. One time the guy running the record store gave me a cassette tape of a local band and told me to listen to it a few times and let it grow in me. He said it’s a band called Nirvana. It was the album Bleach and it stayed in my cassette player for two months solid. I coulmd get enough if it

Nirvana has a litany of videos you should check out, but make sure you also check out their version of a David Bowie song, "The Man Who Sold the World", on MTV unplugged. Freaking amazing!!!

The Song "Something in the Way" used in The Batman is also Nirvana :) Nirvana is one of the G.O.A.Ts and is responsible for introducing me to other music genres besides r&b and hip hop. No Doubt was another favorite group of mine during this era. I LOVED growing up in the 90s!! It is my all time favorite for music, movies, television, and video games just in this old person's humble opinion lol.

😂 this was fun to watch and as huge grunge guy it made me smile lol I remember my first time hearing this song back in the early 90s and every group of friends has one friend that knows what you don’t and educates you lol mad respect to the one friend

HOLY SHIT I NEARLY DIED WHEN U SAID ABOUT THE WHITE LIGHTER 🤣 I was born in England in 84 and I remember hearing that story in the 90s. Im so glad you had your man there to help you…please try and explore music pre 2010. Even saying that makes me feel depressed 🙃

In 1991 Nirvana finally gave Generation X rockers their own sound and defining soundtrack. The media labelled the Music Grunge. Its funny that I found you guys learning about rock while I was searching to learn about rap and hip hop. Enjoy your journey (Aerosmith and Run DMC Walk this Way maybe?) I'm off to learn about some guy named Tu Pac.... ps the Beatles are still relevant and amazing or why Michael Jackson bought their catalogue?

Damn. Hearing them say The Beatles are too old for them and that Nirvana is "old school sh*t" makes me feel ancient and I'm only 33.

As a lifetime Nirvana fan, there's no greater joy than seeing young people hearing Nirvana for the first time. Takes me back to my youth, It was so awesome being a teen in the 90s. You don't know what you got until it's gone... Teenage angst has paid off well, now I'm bored and old... Miss you heaps, Kurt.

1:57 that was the most sincere “I apologize for being uncultured” 😂 I spit out my drink hahaha you guys are hilarious

watch on YT "Nirvana Live at the Paramount 10/31/91" absolutely amazing film/sound quality, Nirvana were at their peak here, for this live show... just iconic!!

No feeling like that Nirvana feeling. Keep it up gents. Bravo

Hey brothers, I have a request can you react to Bob Marley and the wailers. The new generation needs to hear good reggae music. Always I feel good listening to music with y'all 😊 thanks

Everyone has that one friend that knows all the best music from every genre. They are usually the best people you will ever meet.

Just think…. All that power, energy, emotion is just coming from 3 guys, and their bass, guitar and drums. No computers, no machines, so amazing. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I'm convinced dude in the dodgers jersey lived under a rock

Fuck I miss grunge music 🤟🏻

The Beatles are great. Influenced a ton of music. They were one of Cobain's biggest influences, too

The drummer from Nirvana, Dave Grohl, was Kurt's closest friend. They were like brothers. After Kurt died, Dave eventually formed his own band called Foo Fighters and they're still going strong. Damn good music

I LOVE seeing people discover Nirvana for the first time. I remember hearing them by seeing the premiere of this video on MTV when they released Nevermind in the early 90s and it changed my life. Seeing people get turned on to their songs 30+ years later for the first time is so satisfying.

Legends in there time bro. One of the most influential bands in this century. I would like ya'll to listen to some old school Metallica, like master of puppets

The band Living Color is an all-black hard rock band that kicked ass in the 80s. That shit's hard af and really great.

Great reactions, You guys gotta react to some falling in reverse, popular monster and their newest track zombiefied, pure hype music!

This is the song that ended a musical era,glam rock of the eighties,over in one video!!! It was genius...I was a teenager in the eighties and still love that music to this day BUT Nirvana will always be legendary in the truest sense of that word!! RIP Kurt Cobain

It was such a huge change in 1992, almost a revolutionary act in the style of music.

Shout out to dude in the Dodgers shirt for those eyes 🤤 Gorgeous. Also, love Nirvana and this song. Their influence reaches far and wide and if y'all ever heard of Dave Grohl & the Foo Fighters then you're aware how wide the net was cast. RIP Kurt & Taylor. 💛❤
