Sex & Nudity

  • We see some girls, in cheerleader outfits dancing somewhat borderline explicit. But not to that point. Adult-oriented video.
  • Pay TV content advisory for the song - rated TV-MA for adult content (AC).

Violence & Gore

  • The guitar riffs and lyricism is violent.
  • Some of the lyrics are indirectly about suicide.
  • Content-wise some of it (in terms of violence) is like "Ren and Stimpy" (except Nirvana isn't as unlikable as them) - an R-rated Nickelodeon (somewhat of an oxymoron) show that crossed the line (which would mean that "Seinfeld" is sometimes R-rated in an 18 - UK/hard R way occasionally).
  • (For "Seinfeld", relating to the explanation on top, it's obviously not in violence, but even they had some violent moments too).
  • Shots, similar to "Ren and Stimpy," some distorted shots pervade the video, and it's similar to the "Ren and Stimpy" episode about the electric fence game. Violent.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The song is intense and the room is dark and lit up. Creepy.
  • The distorted nature and some of the ways the video is shot is creepy.
