Come As You Are was written by Kurt Cobain and released by Nirvana on the album Nevermind in 1991, later becoming one of the band's most recognised singles. Its distinctive guitar riff, played through a chorus effect, helped define the quieter, more melodic side of grunge alongside the album's louder anthems. The song has remained in regular rotation on rock radio and in films, television and online edits, where the opening seconds alone are enough to identify it. That instant recognition keeps the riff popular for creators evoking the early 1990s.

The instantly recognisable opening guitar riff from Nirvana's Come As You Are, used in edits, intros and nostalgic throwback videos by fans and creators.
This short clip captures the haunting, watery guitar riff that opens Nirvana's Come As You Are, played with a clean, chorus-drenched tone that feels both calm and unsettling. The notes repeat in a slow, looping pattern, creating a hypnotic pull before Kurt Cobain's voice would normally enter, though this excerpt focuses on the instrumental hook alone. It instantly signals 1990s grunge, quiet tension and a kind of weary confidence, making listeners lean in rather than jump back. Because the riff is so familiar, it works as a mood-setter, turning an ordinary scene into something moody, reflective or slightly eerie without needing any words at all.
