"Negative Creep" is a song by the American grunge band Nirvana from their 1989 debut album Bleach. It was named as one of the "Sub Popiest" grunge songs the band ever recorded.[1] IGN called it "a textbook example of Seattle's true grunge sound... featuring Cobain's frantic wails and screaming on top of a repetitious and heavy grunge riff."[2]
There was some controversy about the line "Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more" in the local music scene as it was strikingly similar to Mudhoney's "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More".[1]
