With the lead single " Smells Like Teen Spirit" from the band's 1991 album , Nirvana exploded into the mainstream, bringing along with it an offshoot of punk and alternative rock that the mainstream media of the time referred to as grunge. Other Seattle grunge bands such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgardenalso gained in popularity, and, as a result, alternative rock became a dominant genre on American and Canadian radio and music television during the early-to-middle '90s. As Nirvana's frontman, Kurt Cobainfound himself referred to in the media as the "spokesman of a generation", with Nirvana the "flagship band" of "Generation X". Cobain was uncomfortable with the attention, and placed his focus on the band's music, challenging the band's audience with their third studio album .

Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves Lyrics

Nirvana

I was born in the wagon of a travelling show
My momma used to dance for the money theyd throw
Poppa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
Gypsies tramps and thieves
Wed hear it from the people of the town
Theyd call us
Gypsies tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of mobile
Gave him a ride filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen he was twenty one
Rode with us to memphis
And poppa woulda shot him if he knew what hed done
Gypsies tramps and thieves
Wed hear it from the people of the town
Theyd call us
Gypsies tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Yip!
Yahoo!
She was born in the wagon of a travelling show
Her momma had to dance for the money theyd throw
Grandpad do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
Gypsies tramps and thieves
Wed hear it from the people of the town
Theyd call us
Gypsies tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Blahblahblahblah....
Fuck it
Fuck it all
