Rape Me by Nirvana does not promote Rape but is a protest song against exploitation, sexual violence and abuse of artists.

The song "Rape Me" by Nirvana does not promote rape; rather, it is about the objectification and exploitation of people, particularly in the music industry. Kurt Cobain, the song's writer, explained that it was inspired by his own experiences of being exploited and that he intended it to be a protest song against sexual violence, not a glorification of it. He also stated that the lyrics reflect the idea that he, his wife Courtney Love, and their daughter were all being "raped" by the media and public attention.
