Gen Xers will always remember where they were on 9/11, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the day they found out Kurt Cobain was killed by Courtney Love, who then went on a murder spree of famous grunge singers. More recently, Gen X will never forget the first time they couldn’t get it up. For those in this generation who still don’t want to be labeled, we can’t just call them impotent or sexually washed up. That’s why we are here to help.
If we know anything about Generation X, the more obscure you go with your cultural references, the more emotionally and physically aroused they will become, which should be enough to jump start their private parts. That being said, here are the top 30 lesser known Nirvana songs doctors have been prescribing men of a certain age to cure their lack of erections. (Listen to the playlist, click here)
30. Curmudgeon
This Nirvana track was first tested on Gen X lab rats. In rodent years, that is about 15 months old. Regardless, after just one listen to “Curmudgeon,” the vermin fucked everything in sight, and then a few days later started smoking cigarettes and wearing those cool white sunglasses just like Kurt. This is how influential this band was.
29. Very Ape
The late Steve Albini famously produced “In Utero.” Steve was technically a Boomer and it was well-documented that he never once had an erection while recording this album, proving that Nirvana-inspired hard-ons only affect the generation that Boomers probably still contemptuously refer to as “slackers.”
28. Old Age
The history of this track is a little murky. It appears to be a Hole song that was written by Kurt with lyrics later penned by Courtney Love, but at one point Nirvana also recorded for themselves. This is confusing. We need to know exactly who to credit all these boners to.
27. Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
Sure, back-end “In Utero” tracks can help get you rock solid, but unfortunately you’ll also have to counteract that sudden arousal by doing that trick where you think about Pearl Jam during sex to avoid premature ejaculation. Thankfully, ’90s grunge has a variety of uses.
26. Verse Chorus Verse
If you’re going to forego the pharmaceutical drug route in favor of a more Nirvana-friendly approach, you’ll have to exercise extreme caution. Side effects may include having an erection that lasts longer than the entire three disc, one DVD “With the Lights Out” box set.
25. Hairspray Queen
The bassline is unhinged, the guitar riffs are incoherent, and Kurt sounds like someone is stepping on his pinky toe the whole time. Surprisingly, this is all a Gen Xer needs to successfully copulate in the wild.
24. Marigold
“Marigold” is more of a solo Dave Grohl song since he wrote and sung this one. Some hypothesize that pre “Everlong” Foo Fighters might also help Gen X with their flaccid dicks. However, tests are still in early trial stages and are not yet FDA-approved.
23. (New Wave) Polly
Regular “Polly” just won’t do the trick. If we want the 50-year-olds to have sex for hours on end, they need to dial it up with the peppier version. That’s why we don’t recommend anything off “Unplugged in New York.” Doesn’t go hard enough.
22. Moist Vagina
Kurt was often criticized for writing cryptic lyrics that didn’t seem to make any sense. However, the original title of this track is “Moist Vagina And Then She Blew Him Like He’s Never Been Blown, Brains Stuck All Over the Wall” and 75% of it is him screaming “Marijuana.” It somehow makes less sense knowing all this. But whatever, penises do not care about lyrical clarity.
21. Return of the Rat
The further you dig into Nirvana’s back catalog, the more realize their ability to cover songs was elite. If anything, they were the best cover band of all time. Many medical practitioners will frequently prescribe the Wipers version of this song followed by Nirvana’s and just let the erections fly.
20. Scentless Apprentice
If you are not fully erect and ready to wield your penis around like a sword after the first five seconds of Dave Grohl’s hypnotic opening drumming here, can you even call yourself a limp Gen Xer?
19. Love Buzz
“Love Buzz” was Nirvana’s debut single, which just so happened to be another one of their rewarding covers that was superior to the original. While it’s nice to see scientists discover obscure Nirvana tracks to treat erectile dysfunction, they also need to study how this band got so proficient at performing other groups’ songs better than them.
18. Milk It
Sometimes even a licensed physician screaming the words “doll steak” and “test meat” during a routine physical is enough to jumpstart a Gen Xer’s genital region. Hey, whatever works.
17. Pen Cap Chew
Not even Dave Grohl knows about this one since he wasn’t in the band yet. Think of “Pen Cap Chew” like his secret family to his “Smell Like Teen Spirit” primary household. If hidden affairs can get Dave off, surely “Pen Cap Chew” can for you.
16. Son of a Gun
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by heart issues, lack of sleep, and vitamin deficiencies. But we’ve only recently discovered that it’s mainly a direct result of low Nirvana intake. Be sure to get in your daily dose of “the ones they didn’t play on the radio” when you’re in the mood to plow.

One surefire way to become a guest on the Joe Rogan show is to get a bunch of people to compare you to Hitler, and we all know Hitler made a name for himself during WWII, but what about the men who made that great war possible in the first place? Today, as a special treat, Joe welcomes former Japanese Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoye, whose Wikipedia page Joe will read at him occasionally pausing to ask hard-hitting questions like “You did that stuff? Wow.” and “The bioavailability of fish protein is insane, right?” You’re gonna want an extra cup of Black Rifle Coffee and lion’s mane mushroom extract on hand as Joe breaks down how Konoye’s dissolvement of all rival political parties was a lot like his move to Spotify.
Ante Pavelić was the dictator of The Independent State of Croatia from 1941 to 1945, head of the ultranationalist organization Ustaša, and recipient of the Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle awarded by Hitler himself. After Joe harshly condemns his genocidal actions against Jews, Serbs, Roma, and anti-Fascists as “whacky” and “pretty nutty if I’m being honest dude” (right to his face!) the boys talk about how cool the Grand Cross looks, the importance of medals and the drive it takes to achieve them.

Fascist leaders are like highlanders bro—in the end, there can only be one. Of all the heads Hitler chopped off to gain the political equivalent of the quickening, Dollfuss’s probably… gave off the most sparks? I don’t know, I’m pretty high right now. From his humble beginnings as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry (before the libs took it over and made it all political yo) Dollfuss (or Dollfuß if you’re nasty) rose to become dictator of Austria. On paper, it sounds like he and Hitler would be great friends, but apparently, they weren’t because of some complicated history shit? Today Joe sits down with the former Chancellor of Austria to get to the bottom of this, but he doesn’t really pay a lot of attention and they wind up going on a tirade about trans athletes. Sick fucking episode, buckle up.
Brazil, retirement paradise of Nazi war criminals and home to some of the fiercest fighters in the world thanks to genetics and an 80% Toxoplasmosis infection rate brah. Today Joe has the pleasure of chatting with Getúlio Vargas, who served as President of Brazil from 1930 to 1945, and then again from 1951 to 1954. Hmm, a lot of these fascist dictator guys seem to have gaps like that… probably nothing to worry about. Anyway, Joe helps break down how Getúlio is proof positive that America can work with, not against fascist dictators by sighting FDR’s support of Estado Novo before devolving into a diatribe about how young people are going gay to get into Ivy League schools, all brought to you by the good people at Athletic Greens.
Should a country dismiss the legacy of a bonafide war hero just because he went on to seize control of the government and collaborate with one itsy bitsy Nazi dictator? Joe doesn’t think so! In the interest of fair and balanced media, Joe wants to give Pétain a chance to tell his side of the story. They’ll talk about how giving the slightest, completely empty protest to deporting French Jews to concentration camps wasn’t actually a big deal, why Charles De Gaulle was a cuck, and how to stay fit in exile way into your ’90s (hint, the secret isn’t soy milk bra!) Brought to you by Zip Recruiter.
Stalin’s got the kill count, Hitler’s got the branding, but isn’t there something to be said for staying power? Serving as Prime Minister of Portugal from 1932 to 1968, Oliveira established one of the longest-lived authoritarian regimes in all of modern Europe. Think about that bro! Today Joe picks his brain about how to best ward off contenders to the throne (he’s seeing Theo Von in his rearview a lot lately,) how to get ahead in fascism by adamantly claiming not to be a fascist, and how totalitarianism and capitalism can totes coexist!
Any Roganite knows it takes some seriously high T to become a fascist dictator, but pulling that shit off in the country that invented wrestling bro? Now that’s some real MAN shit. That’s probably why his whole country called him Daddy. Well, that and the fact that he demanded they do it. This week Joe sits with the Freethinkker’s Party founder to talk about how the Greek economic collapse of 2007 never would have happened with a strongman like him making all the decisions, the importance of book burnings, and how Pankration paved the way for mixed martial arts in 648 B.C.
In today’s guest corner, we have Il Duce, the founder, the Ray Kroc of fascism, it’s Benito Mussolini! This is the man who showed the greats how it was done, and Joe will be quick to remind you that he means “great” in the Dan Carlin way, with a big “G,” not great as in good. He’ll say it a lot though, to the point where you start to think “Is this a dog whistle? Does he want it both ways or something?” Mussolini laid out the blueprint of government that would be copied and adopted by nearly all Axis powers, basically what Joe did for the carnivore diet. Anyway, Joe takes him to task with hard-hitting critiques like “Yeah I mean, I can’t condone what you did and what it inspired, but like, you’re an O.G dude, that’s undeniable.”
When we think of WWII-era fascist Axis leaders, after efficiency, we think of very bad people who murdered Jews. Well, what if Joe Rogan told you that the dictator of Romania actually SAVED the majority of Jews in Romania proper from deportation to Poland? And what if Joe forgot to mention that he did so by killing 400,000 Jews in Romanian territories, seizing all wealth and property from the ones he didn’t deport, and pretty much just leaving the time and manner of their execution “TBD?” Well, Joe would get right on X (not Twitter) and post a correction, calling himself an idiot, but reminding you that you’re the bigger idiot for listening to him in the first place. Then he would go right back to directly influencing a sizable portion of the voting population.
The man himself. From Duncan Trussell to Elon Musk, it has all been leading to this folks. For years Joe has been telling his guests that it’s completely unfair they get compared to Hitler. Today, he reveals that this sentiment comes from a place of love and adoration. If you thought his Trump interview was a sycophantic cards-on-the-table moment, you ain’t seen nothing yet. After some light token criticism over his extermination of “an unclear number” of Jewish people, Rogan invites Hitler to open up about what it’s like to be a victim of liberal media bias. Joe can’t post the video out of fear of being shadowbanned, but there is totally a clip out there of “The View” hosts praising Hitler before the leftist political machine made them reverse course brah.
