Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
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.
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.
