Narrative

The song that i chose was "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. In the song there is a story of a teen revolution. The narrator is being sarcastic the whole time and he goes back and fort with ideas. When they say "load up on guns, bring your friends it's fun to lose, and to pretend" its saying how when kids hang out with their friends there parents think that they are up to no good. Another part of the story of the song is "little group" and "a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido" this shows how kids hang in groups and tend to have sex because they are young. In the song Nirvana hints upon the ideas of sex a few times, especially when they say "with the lights out, it's less dangerous". They are saying how teens grown up and do grown up things. Also "I feel stupid and contagious" illustartes how people tend to do dumb things when they have peer pressure. Finally when they say "whatever, nevermind" it shows us that alot of people tend to have ADD and have trouble concentrateing, or to forget what is going on in their lives that could be hard for the person in general. This whole song is just about a day in the life of an average teen.
