Nirvana- Nevermind

Nirvana's album never mind got a massive response for the album cover. Some thought it was creating a massive social message whilst others thought it was to far and was just wrong showing a naked baby on the front cover. However it is clear that Nirvana wanted put their point of view across in this album cover.

The fact a baby used is a code for youth and signifies innocence and purity. There is a one dollar note on a hook that the baby is chasing this signifies humans being taken away from innocence and being drawn away to a worse place by a corrupt evil society, that is completely influenced and dependent on money to live and that the baby is being dragged away from freedom (the water). The fact that the american dollar is being used suggests that Nirvana i saying this more about American society more than any other society.

The actual band members are not on the front cover this is signifies that they find it more important to focus on their music and the messages that they want to show society rather than there look and their public image. Although this is ironic as although Nirvana are having a go at American society about being to materialistic and to worried about money, however from the selling of this album they plan to make millions of pounds.
