Nirvana fue un grupo estadounidense de grunge, procedente de Aberdeen, Washington. Con el éxito del sencillo "Smells Like Teen Spirit", del álbum Nevermind, Nirvana escaló las listas musicales en todo el mundo e inició la explosión de lo que hasta ese momento era punk underground y rock alternativo en la escena musical mundial, en un movimiento al que los medios de la época se referirían como "grunge". Otras bandas de la escena musical de Seattle como Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam y Soundgarden también obtuvieron popularidad y, como resultado, el rock alternativo se convirtió en un género dominante en la radio y la televisión musical durante la primera mitad de la década de 1990.
Kurt Cobain, líder de la banda, se encontró a sí mismo referido en los medios de comunicación como "la voz de una generación", y a Nirvana como la "banda símbolo" de la "Generación X".2 Cobain se sentía incómodo con la atención que se les brindaba y decidió enfocar la atención del público hacia la música de la banda, retando a la audiencia con su tercer álbum de estudio In Utero. Aunque la popularidad de Nirvana disminuyó en los meses siguientes a la publicación del álbum, buena parte de su audiencia alabó el interior "oscuro" de la banda, en especial después de su presentación en MTV Unplugged.
La corta carrera de Nirvana concluyó con la muerte de Cobain en 1994, pero su popularidad creció aún más en los años posteriores. Ocho años después de la muerte de Cobain, "You Know You're Right", un demo nunca terminado que la banda había grabado dos meses antes de la muerte de Cobain, escalaba las listas de radio y música de todo el mundo. En 2004 fueron rankeados en el puesto #27 en la lista de los 100 mejores artistas de todos los tiempos de la revista Rolling Stone. Desde su debut, la banda ha vendido más de 50 millones de álbumes a nivel mundial,3 incluyendo 10 millones de ejemplares de Nevermind en los Estados Unidos y 25 millones en todo el mundo.3 4 Su música continúa siendo emitida por estaciones de radio de todo el mundo.
