Incesticide is a compilation album assembled by the American Alternative Rock band Nirvana. It was released through DGC Records on December 14, 1992, and was the band's first release after the overnight monster success of Nevermind (1991).To fans who discovered the group through that album, the songs on Incesticide were perceived as new, but the album is actually a collection of B-sides, non-album music, demos, outtakes, covers, and radio broadcast recordings, a majority of them released between 1989 and 1992. In fact, the material was already circulating among early members of the band's fanbase, and the album simply provided easier access to them in higher quality.Originally intended to be released under Sub Pop as Cash Cow (an obvious jab at their unexpectedly quick rise to stardom), the band decided to have their recordings sold over to DGC Records (onto whom the band were currently signed) in order to give the material more exposure.While not as famous or successful as the band's actual studio albums (in part due to DGC intentionally under-promoting the album to prevent audience burnout), the album was still a critical success and a decent commercial hit, debuting at No. 51 on the Billboard 200 and peaking at No. 39, selling 500,000 copies within its first two months of release, and being certified Platinum by the RIAA and the BPI. The album additionally contains the fan favourites "Dive", "Sliver" and "Aneurysm."

Ascended Glitch: During Nevermind's version of "Polly", Kurt accidentally starts the "Polly says" verse too early, pauses, and then re-starts on the right spot. "(New Wave) Polly", despite being recorded later, intentionally recreates the mistake.

Author Tract: In the liner notes, he calls out and disowns homophobes, racists, sexists, and rapists who were fans of the band. Kurt sarcastically apologizes for being "so anally P.C.," stating that his comments are simply a reflection of how he feels regarding Nirvana's audience.

Real Life Writes the Plot: "Polly," unfortunately based on a real life serial killer and kidnapper. "Aneurysm" was written by Kurt Cobain about his ex-girlfriend Tobi Vail, in whose presence he once did get so nervous that he threw up, as the song alludes to.

Rearrange the Song: "(New Wave) Polly", a faster and more aggressive rendition of "Polly" off of Nevermind. As the name implies, this version is more In the Style of New Wave Music compared to the brooding, acoustic version included on the band's second studio album.

Alternate Music Video: When the non-album single "Sliver" first released in 1990, no music video was formally shot for it. As a result, its first TV appearance on The Chart Show featured a crude "video" consisting of just a picture of the cover art with the audio playing over it. A proper music video was shot for the song in 1993 to promote this compilation, featuring the band performing in Kurt Cobain's garage.
