In 1989 Nirvana debuted with the album Bleach. The album showed promise for Nirvana- when it sold 40,000 copies in North America. Bleach did very well in the UK- rising to the #8 position on the UK Indie Album Chart. For their 2nd release, Nevermind, Nirvana nervously left the indie haven of Sub Pop, and took the major label plunge to Geffen Records. Geffen projected Nirvana's new album would be a big leap from the sales of their first offering, and projected their sophomore release would sell 250,000. To some, that seemed like a very optimistic forecast. ,
But Nirvana shocked the music industry when Nevermind ended up selling more than 30 million copies. Nirvana released Nevermind on September 24th, 1991. Hard to believe that was more than 30 years ago! Nirvana, while only releasing 3 studio albums, is so engrained in rock music culture, it's as if they’ve been around as long as The Rolling Stones. Oh sure, Nirvana WAS making noise within the emerging grunge music ecosystem, but no one had the slightest inkling that they were going to become a global phenomenon. Not even those closest to the band made such a bold prediction.
Why did Nirvana all of the sudden just blow up, and change the course of music around the world? There has been much discourse on the subject. Neverrmind did not achieve its gargantuan success because Nirvana had toured relentlessly and built a huge fan base. It wasn’t because of some brilliant marketing campaign to set up the album at retail. And, it wasn’t because the band’s leader Kurt Cobain was a larger than life personality on the cover of every front page in a magazine stand.
It was exactly the opposite. Nevermind was a cultural game-changer because the music came from an authentic artist that spoke to a new generation of fans that didn’t want glitz, or glamour. We were tired of being spoon fed candy sugared pop. As Morrissey sang to truthfully just year before.. the music that they constantly play, it says NOTHING to me about my life. It was a new generation of fans starving for music that connected with them emotionally…emancipating the feelings they had trouble expressing, and reflecting who they were as human beings.
Suddenly, there was music that made them… Us realize We weren’t alone. There was a whole movement of people that felt the same way.
