The Design: A naked baby swimming toward a dollar bill on a fishhook. Why It’s Iconic: • Shot by Kirk Weddle for just $200, it became the defining image of grunge. • Symbolized generational disillusionment—innocence corrupted by consumerism. • The baby, Spencer Elden, later sued Nirvana over the cover (and lost). Trivia: The underwater shot was inspired by a documentary on water births.
