Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3: 12 Songs That Must Be On Awesome Mix Vol. 3

3. Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit (1991)

One of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s post-credit scenes teases that Groot will return as an angsty teenager who plays video games, avoids cleaning and occasionally musters up the energy to utter his “I am Groot” catchphrase in a snarly tone.

Keeping with this aesthetic, Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit (dubbed an “anthem for apathetic kids”) seems like a no-brainer for a rebellious Groot to head-bang along to, with a propulsive beat as non-conforming as the lyrics.

By way of the Zune, Gunn now has the opportunity to introduce his space squad to a new era of music and what better way to sample the 90s than with Nirvana’s landmark hit.
