Butch Vig reflects on 35th anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind

Producer Butch Vig has reflected on the upcoming 35th anniversary of Nirvana's landmark 1991 album, Nevermind, which is set to be celebrated in September. Vig described the experience of producing the RIAA Diamond-certified record as a “zeitgeist moment” that changed his life.

The album, featuring tracks such as “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Lithium,” is credited with launching the 1990s grunge movement and establishing the trio of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl as global stars.

Following the success of Nevermind, the band released In Utero in 1993 before disbanding in 1994 after the death of frontman Kurt Cobain. Vig noted the enduring legacy of the music, mentioning how songs like “Something in the Way” have seen renewed popularity through modern media, such as the 2022 film The Batman.
