- Creator Backlash: Kurt eventually got so fed up with the excessive focus on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" that he would purposely trick and antagonize crowds at some of the shows, if they insisted that the band play the song. Most often, he would play the intro to Smells Like Teen Spirit, and go right into Rape Me (with a similar opening riff) instead.
- In the UK on Top of the Pops (which is known for its making bands mime performances to a pre-recorded backing track - basically one step above lip-synching), Kurt sang in a deep voice to annoy the people insisting he play Smells Like Teen Spirit, and to imitate Morrissey.
- In Live At Reading, the band went into a hilariously bad rendition of Boston's "More Than A Feeling" {{[[[Lampshade Hanging]] to mock}} the similarity between the song's chorus and "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
- Krist Novoselic hated the original solo for "Heart-Shaped Box", saying it "sounded like a fucking abortion hitting the floor". Cobain re-recorded it for the single version.
