TLDR

This article delves into the controversial story behind Nirvana's song 'Rape Me', which was intended as an anti-rape anthem but was widely misunderstood. The song's blunt lyrics and title led to backlash, controversy, and even a US President smashing up his daughter's CD. Despite Kurt Cobain's insistence on the song's clear message, it remains one of the most misunderstood and contentious songs in Nirvana's discography.
