I’m really surprised he didn’t know what teen spirit was - the commercials for it were played all the time back then. They were played a lot on MTV. It was hard to escape.

I was a young teen back then. I had never heard of it. My sister's both had.

I suspect it was advertised during female centric programming, even on MTV.

I remember it being heavily advertised in magazines that appealed to teen girls. One magazine even ran a contest (can't remember the specifics of the contest) and the prize was Nirvana playing at your school.

The song came out before I had a concept of deodorant and was the rebellious song that older kids would blast driving around town.

Well in the end it didn’t matter since he eradicated the brand from existence.

You're allowed to talk about products. Would be pretty impossible to make art otherwise.
