Smart takeaways from community play
Nirvana fans are genre experts but cover-art amateurs — while a massive 98% correctly named Grunge as Nirvana's genre, only 33% could identify who actually covered 'Smells Like Teen Spirit,' revealing a huge gap between core band knowledge and their wider musical legacy.
More Nirvana quiz-takers thought Lana Del Rey covered 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' (33%) than correctly identified the Red Hot Chili Peppers (32%) — meaning a false answer actually beat the right one, making it the ultimate fan misconception in this quiz.
