I didn’t enjoy Bleach but maybe that’s because I listened to it after already listening to the other two. Same with when I listened to Hole’s first album Pretty On the Inside.
I resisted Nirvana at first but then In Utero came out and my mind was blown and I became a fan just in time to experience the loss of Cobain, a moment I remember vividly. His/their music got me through a strange, disconnected time in my early 20s living and working in NYC which was still a rough place, listening to Nirvana, Throwing Muses, Bob Mould, Morphine, PJ Harvey, etc. Now my son listens to and loves Nirvana, the circle is complete, and I look back on that time with deep nostalgia. Great article.
Older Gen X loved all the music videos you mentioned and when Smells Like was world premiered we turned off the channel. We could go to bars by then so there was no need to watch unless it was 120 minutes on a hungover Sunday night.
I remember that I had heard the album Bleach and then when Nevermind came out I initially wasn't sure if that was the same band.

Thank you! And good job with your son ❤️
My husband Terry lived in NYC for a decade, he moved there in ‘94.
