The Clash Lasts

Class lasts (As a statement of 'cool', baseball caps on backwards didn't)



The music video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the first for director Samuel Bayer. Bayer believes he was hired because his test reel was so poor the band anticipated his production would be "punk" and "not corporate."Cobain disliked Bayer's final edit and personally oversaw a re-edit of the video that resulted in the version finally aired. One of Cobain's major additions was the next-to-last shot of the video, which was a close-up of his own face after it had been obscured for most of the video. Bayer noted that unlike subsequent artists he worked with, Cobain did not care about vanity, rather that "the video had something that was truly about what they were about."
