Born out of the Pacific Northwest’s underground punk scene in 1987, Nirvana was founded by Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington, later solidifying their iconic three-piece lineup with drummer Dave Grohl. Their fusion of heavy guitars, unfiltered emotion, and sharp melodic instincts quickly set them apart from their peers, helping to spark a cultural shift that would come to define the sound and spirit of the early 1990s.Though their career was tragically brief, Nirvana reshaped the landscape of modern rock, exploding into the mainstream with the unexpected success of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Their landmark album Nevermind (1991) brought alternative music into the global spotlight, earning widespread critical acclaim and massive commercial success. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014, Nirvana’s influence remains immense. With over 75 million records sold worldwide, they remain one of the greatest and most important bands in music history.
