"Stain" is a song by the Seattle grunge band Nirvana. "Stain" first appeared on the Blew EP in 1989 with other songs written for their album Bleach. It later appears on Incesticide (1992) and on the Outcesticide series. This song (like many of the songs on Incesticide) has an almost lyrical meaning. It does seem to say something about a boy who wastes a lot of time (probably Kurt Cobain himself) but through someone else's point of view. Then during the chorus he says, "I'm a stain" like he went back to his thoughts.
