Nirvana was an American rock band formed in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987. Founded by lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic, the band went through several drummers—most notably Chad Channing—before recruiting Dave Grohl in 1990. Nirvana’s success helped popularize alternative rock and positioned them as one of the defining bands of Generation X. Their music continues to attract a large following and remains influential in rock culture. In the late 1980s, Nirvana became part of the Seattle grunge scene. They released their debut album, Bleach, on the independent label Sub Pop in 1989. Their sound was characterized by dynamic contrasts, often shifting between subdued verses and loud, heavy choruses. After signing with DGC Records in 1990, the band achieved unexpected mainstream success with “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, the lead single from their landmark second album Nevermind (1991). A major cultural force of the 1990s, Nevermind was certified thirteen‑times platinum in the United States and is credited with ending the dominance of hair metal. Nirvana’s music combined a punk‑influenced aesthetic with strong melodic sensibilities, while exploring themes of alienation and emotional turmoil. Following extensive touring and the release of the 1992 compilation Incesticide and the EP Hormoaning, the band issued their highly anticipated third studio album, In Utero (1993).
