Nirvana

In the summer of 1992, when Nirvana delivered their electric performance of "Negative Creep" at the Reading Festival, they were basking in the glow of their groundbreaking album, *Nevermind*. Released less than a year prior, on September 24, 1991, *Nevermind* had catapulted them into the spotlight, forever altering the landscape of rock music. By the time they hit the stage at Reading, the band was riding high on the waves of success, with the iconic single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" not just dominating the charts, but also capturing the angst of a generation. Interestingly, Kurt Cobain, during that festival performance, famously opened with a raw, unapologetic attitude, showcasing the rebellious spirit that defined the grunge movement. This particular concert marked a pivotal moment, solidifying Nirvana's status not just as a band, but as cultural icons, ready to embrace their newfound fame while staying true to their punk roots.
