here you are now, would you like to be entertained? Well, then watch this video of the Nirvana classic “Smells Like Teen Spirit” played on a bunch of floppy disks. If grunge was viewed as a back-to-reality corrective for the excesses of late ’80s hair metal, this cover of the song by an artist called Arganalth could be read as a metaphor for a return to lo-fi simplicity in the sprawling, oft-overproduced expanse of electronic music. Or it just has a relatively straightforward chord progression and an instantly recognizable melody that translates well to simple electronic noisemakers.
