Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bleach is the debut studio album by Nirvana, released in 1989. It is their only album released under Sub Pop. It was recorded with No Budget higher than 600 dollars and didn't make much of an impact back then. That would change after the smash success of Nevermind in 1991. Bleach is the lone Nirvana studio album recorded with Chad Channing on drums, before he was replaced by Dave Grohl. However, he does appear on one song in Nevermind.Bleach is best known for the fan favourites "About a Girl", "School" and "Negative Creep".The album has nothing to do with the identically-named manga created by Tite Kubo or its associated works. | |

Doom Metal | |
| Bleach (Music) / int_3bc3f899 | comment |
Sludge Metal: Widely considered to be Nirvana's most "metallic" album due to their strong influence from The Melvins. At the time of this album's release, "grunge" and "sludge" were virtually indistinguishable and wouldn't fully diverge until grunge went mainstream on Nirvana's next album. Most evident on tracks like "Negative Creep," "Blew," and "School." "Negative Creep" also qualifies lyrically due to its nihilistic and aggressively dark lyrics. | |

Accentuate the Negative: It's not a happy record, to say the least, but the bleakest and most disturbing song must be "Negative Creep", where Cobain screams top of his head off about what we assume to be some very young girl on drugs. | |

Corrupt the Cutie: "Floyd the Barber", in which the nice and friendly cast character from The Andy Griffith Show turns out to be a vicious murderer, along with Barney Fife, Aunt Bee and little Opie. "Negative Creep" in which Cobain repeats the line "I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned. Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more". | |

Mondegreen: The Word Salad Lyrics aren't made much easier for the listener to decipher because Cobain garbles a lot of phrases, making certain lines very difficult to comprehend. For instance, in "Scoff", Cobain belts out: "Give me back my alcohol", but it also sounds a lot like "Give my back my awful heart". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Bleach (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Floyd the Barber" is named after a character from the The Andy Griffith Show. In the song Floyd, Barney Fife, Opie and Aunt Bee apparently take turns cutting Kurt up, whereupon he dies. On the vinyl version, the A side label◊ is based on the label design of Verve Records, a jazz company that also signed rock performers such as the Velvet Underground and Frank Zappa. The B side label◊ has a diagram of the circles of Hell from The Divine Comedy. | |

| Bleach (Music) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: In "Floyd the Barber" a man is cut to death by a barber and Cobain identifies this person as himself in the very first line of the song. "Negative Creep" is sung from a first person perspective. And in "Blew" he lampshades all of this with the line: In 1993, before Nirvana played "About a Girl" as the first track on MTV Unplugged in New York, Kurt says this: | |

Broken Record: "School", in which Cobain just repeats the lines: "Won't you believe it is just my luck? No recess!!" over and over. These are the only lyrics apart from: "You're in high school again." "Stain"'s entire lyrics. "Negative Creep": "I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned. Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more." Near the end of "Blew", the phrase "You could do anything" is repeated eight times. | |
