Who directed Nirvana’s music video for “Come as You Are”?

The story behind the answer

Kevin Kerslake directed Nirvana’s music video for “Come as You Are.” The video was released in 1992 and uses underwater imagery, surreal objects, and performance footage to match the song’s uneasy atmosphere.

Kerslake also directed several other important Nirvana videos, including “Lithium,” “In Bloom,” and “Sliver.” His visual work helped define the band’s early-1990s presence on MTV, though the videos were made by different directors and should not be attributed to one filmmaker.

“Come as You Are” was the second single from Nevermind in the United States. It became one of Nirvana’s best-known songs and reached number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track’s distinctive chorus guitar effect was created with a chorus pedal and became a recognizable part of its sound.
