"Swap Meet" is a song by the grunge band, Nirvana. It is the ninth song on their 1989 album Bleach. The song was written by Kurt Cobain (credited as Kurdt Kobain).
Swap meets are gatherings of people often in drive-ins and parking lots, where people sell baked goods and handi-crafts. Kurt called people who sell items at swap meets "white trash entrepreneurs who can't look further than selling junk because they live in junk."
