This made me recall that clip of a person in a pink cat costume at the drums furiously drumming away to what I assume was a kid's song being performed live at some event in Japan.
Tempo experiments have proven to me that Nirvana songs, at least a lot of the hits we know them for from cultural osmosis and radio exposure are all just punk songs that Kurt probably couldn't play at the speed he intended because he was too smacked out on heroin, and thus the rest of the band just sorta improvised around it to create what we now know as Grunge. And to further add credence to this 🤓 The Melvins were coming up around the same time and while not grunge or even necessarily identified as punk, they are the ogs of the Sludge Metal scene, and even featured Kurt Cobain, albeit banging weird drums on a weird song on a weird album. Also I have tested this music theory* and yes, they sound like "omg this is literally the same chords but literally a whole different song/genre". Smells Like Teen Spirit sounds like Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front or Biohazard if I speed it up a few things over thing. *Yeah I don't know music theory much but you get it. And also if you have read this far, congratiulations and thanks for coming to my TED Talk; you get to know that one of my edits has been that I was referring to guitar and not drums, in my assessment for those who need it clarified. Whups.

When people say "classical music" they really just mean European classical music. And ngl i dont understand ppl who say its any better than pop music. Its literally just pop music of the past. Its just simple harmony all the way through. I have no idea it why it alone persists to this day when there are so many more much greater classical music styles.
@@marten594For most of history classical music didn't really feel like drums contributed anything "musical". Drums were harsh and got in the way of a good melody. I'm glad they won out in the end, I attribute that to Jazz music, which gave every instrument a chance for a solo, then people started to realize that drums were good. Though before that marching bands also did some drum work which went a long way to impress people. But it really was early Jazz (and its precursor "big band") that finalized the modern drum set.
@@maggiescarlet You are right that those existed, but they weren't in large number in every orchestra, and almost every composer wrote music with few, or no, drum "notes". It would be like saying that everyone had a turbo on their car in the 50's, when in reality, they did exist then, but it wasn't until the 1980's and 90's that they were actually common on performance cars.
