"Nevermind," the second studio album by American rock band Nirvana, dropped on September 24, 1991, under DGC Records. This marked Nirvana's leap onto a major label and introduced drummer Dave Grohl to the lineup. Produced by Butch Vig, "Nevermind" boasts a more refined, radio-friendly sound compared to the band's earlier work.
 
The album catapulted Nirvana to superstardom in the 1990s, with Kurt Cobain hailed as the "voice of his generation." It served as a gateway, bringing grunge and alternative rock to the mainstream spotlight and hastening the decline of hair metal, akin to the British Invasion's impact on American music in the early 1960s. "Nevermind" is also credited with sparking a renewed interest in punk culture among teenagers and young adults of Gen X, leaving an indelible mark on the counterculture of the decade.
 
With sales surpassing 30 million copies worldwide, it stands as one of the best-selling albums of all time.
