Band Name Origins:
- As Kurt Cobain said (yes, this is a quote): "Nirvana means complete and total bliss. That is what punk rock means to me." Nirvana had many punk influences that were very evident in their music. Submitted by: adsfklj;jj;kli900u4898909802
- Nirvana is a state of nothingness, complete contentment, not needing or wanting anything, no emotions. It's a Buddhist concept, and Kurt may have felt this way, or wanted to. Submitted by: Aaron
Stupid Band Names:
- It sounds like some expensive wine or clothing store. Maybe it's the name of an estate in Georgia. Do you have a clue??? Submitted by: Princess Chic
- There was already a band named Nirvana which was formed in the 60's and Curt Kobain must have been too stoned to think of using another name for his band. Submitted by: Paul Warren

Better Off Solo?:
Name | New Career | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Dave Grohl" | "Now the lead singer of the Foo Fighters, arguably more popular than Nirvana but not as infuential. He has also played for Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, Queens of the Stone Age, and Nine Inch Nails, and is now in a supergroup called Them Crooked Vultures." | - dxman |
Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Tourette's" | This title, which refers to a mental disorder where someone stands up and swears a blue steak (among other traits) is not used in the song. In fact, on the lyric sheet all that's listed is, "Cufk", "Tish" and "Sips". You do the math. - Sailor Sam |
| "Sliver" | "Grandma" probably would have been better, since Kurt's telling her to take him home several times. - rocky |
| "Lounge Act" | No lounge act mentioned, but Kurt does say the 'f'-word, which would be contraidictory to what a real lounge act would allow. - rocky |
| "Lithium" | Although Kurt Cobain mentions "I'm not gonna crack" several times (and 'cracking' is why some people are prescribed lithium), the drug is not mentioned in the song. - rocky |
| "Smells Like Teen Spirit" | "Here we are now, entertain us" - B1982 |

"Rape Me"
MTV never aired the video because they thought the song was trying to slag them off. At the 1993 MTV Music Awards, Nirvana were down to perform "Rape Me", but the camera crew were told that if this happened, they would cut to a commercial. Kurt Cobain started to play the chords to "Rape Me", but when he realised what was happening played "Lithium". This is why most casual Nirvana fans who think they've heard "Rape Me" have actually not; they've heard "Lithium".

"Rape Me"
In 1993, Wal-Mart and K-Mart refuse to stock Nirvana's second major label album, "In Utero," because they object to the cover art and one of the song titles. Shortly after the record becomes the number one selling album in the U.S., the mass merchandisers strike a deal to carry the album. The album's back cover art is subdued and the title of the offending song is changed from "Rape Me" to "Waif Me."

Hidden Tracks:
"Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip"
It's listed on the back cover as track 13, but is heard after approximately 20 minutes of silence following "All Apologies" on track 12.
Submitted by: rKb
"Endless, Nameless"
A hidden track which begins after 10 minutes of silence following "Something in the Way" on the album "Nevermind".
Submitted by: rKb
"Endless Nameless"
From the album Nevermind. As Agrimorfee clearly pointed out, this is a load of guitar noise. Well, the second part is anyway. The first part is in fact a derivative of "Lithium", in which Kurt Cobain forgets his guitar parts, and goes into a song with a big verse and a quieter, more melodic chorus. The verses match Agrimorfee's description, apart from that Kurt screaming random words takes centre stage. The chorus is more melodic; typical, perhaps, of Bleach, the band's first album. During the chorus, Kurt groans rather than sings. About 2:30 in, Agrimorfee's description takes shape. Kurt has had enough as he smashes his guitar all over the studio for the rest of the recording. A drumming solo from Dave Grohl concludes one of the best bonus tracks of all time.
Submitted by: Jakko Wakko
"Endless Nameless"
This hidden track, of nearly 7 minutes of guitar noise, occurs at 13:51 from the beginning of track 12, "Something In the Way".
