Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit Lyrics 12 years ago
This song's a joke.

No really, it is.

One of his ex girlfriend's spraypainted "Kurt smells like teen spirit". Well "Teen Spirit" is a deodrant. He didn't know that back then (found out after the song was released) and thought it was a good revolution slogan. Long story short, he used that title to make a joke song about a "revolution". That's all it is, a joke.

This quote basically says it all
"The entire song is made up of contradictory ideas. It's just making fun of the thought of having a revolution. But it's a nice thought." - Kurt Cobain

It's like something the Pixies would.

I mean seriously, if you read the lyrics, they're ridiculous, they have no meaning,
"A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido"

"Oh well, whatever, never mind"

Well I'm done.
