Reply to TIL that Kurt Cobain got the inspiration to make Nirvana's famous song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" when Kathleen Hanna, the singer of the band "Bikini Kill" wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on a board. Teen Spirit was a woman's deodorant and he didn't knew it until he was done with the song. by WonderfulWanderer777
The writing is just... Wow.
E.g.
>When Cobain found out what Teen Spirit was, he was highly upset and very possibly humiliated, but as he didn't live very long, and was always in a bad mood anyway, naming a song after a well-liked deodorant probably didn't hurt his career.
