This Version of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” Had Us Going!

The Japanese version of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is titled “思春期の匂い” (Shishunki no nioi), which translates to “Smell of Adolescence” or “Smell of Puberty.”

While Nirvana’s song is in English, this Japanese title is the most common way to refer to the song in Japanese. There are also Japanese covers of the song, including one by Shiena Nishizawa and a SoundCloud cover by Tåmä0k1 Fum1h1r0.
