Read the biography/autobiography of Kurt and all will make sense. Its a good book, and explains a lot about his life, and how his songs and lyrics came to be.

It's not possible for me to be objective about something so emotionally laden. So a nostalgic thumbs up from me. I THINK it's a classic.

NB three other kids in the car, roughly same age group, all comparably disinterested -- they go through the room for Slim Shady though ;)

It was to me what a hundred songs were to a hundred generations, a starter's gun, a notice that this group of kids had more in common with each other than even with their like-minded older brothers and sisters. They didn't get it, they didn't have it, and now no-one else wants it. It's still great. The first few chords of it thrown into Moulin Rouge hit with an almost physical force.

SLTS: F minor, B-flat minor, A-flat major, D-flat major (which, IIRC, resolves back to F minor 2nd inversion). i-iv-iii-VI(i)
MTAF: G major, C major, E minor, D major. I-IV-vi-V.

So to me, SLTS was a spark of hope that quickly turned into disappointment by the mid-90s.

just wonderin'... i haven't heard the song in a while (thank god) but can't imagine that KC's intentions would necessarily be theory-aligned.

what if the opening F is indeed major and the key changes mid-measure from F-major to whatever (is it G#?)...
the only reason i'm propping this argument up is because i was schooled in music that did not follow traditional convention (erm, *hardcore*), and just because a chord progression includes another chord up 3 tones does not automatically dictate that the previous chord was its relative minor... esp. when dealing with power chords of the grunge superstar variety.

Relative minor is related to this only because I rewrote the chord progression so that they were related to a home key (F minor) rather than a series of unrelated chords. The reason they sound so good together is because they naturally lead into each other.

I don't know. it's an OK song. I guess I'm just more of a "Bastards of Young"/"Groove is in the Heart" kinda guy when it comes to my personal generation anthems.

Why does no one get the lyrics? They're mostly very literal, and those that aren't have obvioua meanings.

And the irony is that Nirvana never asked to be chosen, but the song still rocks, though. My guess is that the bored and broke masses could identify with the apathy in the lyrics. Since there are both of those folks than the employed and older ones, it had an opportunity to race up the charts...frightening record execs everywhere.
