Teen Spirit, as the name suggests, was aimed at very young women.

The point of the jibe was that Cobain was sleeping with someone inappropriately young for him.

That’s not true. He was “secretly” dating some girl, can’t remember who, that everyone knew to wear that deodorant. The message was to let him know everyone knew the big “secret”. Source: I’ve read four different biographies about him.

I read they just broke up at that point, when the teen spirit thing was written on the wall.

Wasn't it Tobi Vail?

I don't think it was a secret, just than Hanna and Vail had recently bought some teen spirit deoderant while shopping together and Hanna was making a joke about that.

and then she ended up with Josh Homme from QOTSA. Crazy. ETA: I’m and idiot and mixed up Tobi Vail with Brody Dalle. 🤣 Carry on.
