Just *imagining* going to a rave makes me want to curl in a ball and cry, what even *are* allistics

I'm glad music nerds exist, they're enjoying themselves and producing valuable additions to mindspace and all that, but I don't expect I'll be remotely able to [keep all these fine distinctions of sub-genres straight] for the foreseeable future, if ever.

I'd heard *of* Kurt Cobain and Nirvana before a fair bit, but I cannot name a single song of theirs I have heard. I wonder which songs I've heard, if any, were secretly by Nirvana. Maybe I should go listen to their greatest hits and see if any sound familiar.
*heads off to Youtube, armed with list*

Eh, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" maybe seems *vaguely* familiar (the song, I mean: I've certainly heard the name). Same with "Dumb" and "All Apologies", to a lesser extent. I feel like I may have heard "Lithium" and "Rape Me" used in the backgrounds of movies once or twice.
Huh. Is that it? People *talk* about their music, but never *play* it?
