Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Kurt Cobain was living with poverty, stomach pain, depression, and unstable housing around this era, giving Bleach its cheap, angry, cornered feeling.
2. Studio Lore: The album was recorded for about $606.17, famously paid by Jason Everman, who was credited as guitarist even though he did not actually play on it.
3. Scene Ecology: Bleach is the grimy Sub Pop blueprint, heavy Melvins worship, punk damage, and Seattle scene mythology before Nirvana became a world-changing band.
