      > “I was actually in New York interviewing a band for Thrasher Magazine. Someone from the label said, ‘Hey we have this new Nirvana,’ and put it on in the room,” he recalls.

      > The room was filled with the punchy yet ethereal beginning to the grunge band’s biggest hit, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

      > “Everyone stopped what they were doing and everyone looked around,” Hawk, 56, recalls. “And you just knew. You knew this was it.”

      Yep. I remember where I was when I heard it. Basically ignited the launch of my adolescence right there.

      Tony is actually in Smells Like Nirvana music video as well.

      It’s a banger!

      A lot happened in the 90s but somehow that song is by far the most memorable piece of art / culture / music for me. Not that it’s my favorite or I’m still punishing my parents with it. But it’s goddamn good and has spirit.

      I love the fact that Tony’s son and Kurt’s daughter are married and just had a kid 🙂

      Rock & Roll was back!

      It’s difficult for people who didn’t live through the ’80s and ’90s to understand, but the idea that Rock & Roll was dead was a real and ongoing topic of discussion during that time.

      The perfect engineering of an icon. The stars aligned and it all worked. Entertainment has always been seeded but hot damn was Nirvana successful at hiding it. People talk about it as if it was some garage band that popped up one day and topped the charts. Insane.

      If Tony Hawk complimented anything about something I’d done or said…that’d be better than heroin

      kids of Reddit, the is is true, was in high school when this song was played at a Halloween party the year it was released and literally everyone stopped and looked at each other like — holy shit, imagine seeing everyone’s mind blown at once. Never happened like that with any song since.
