In Bloom is een nummer van de Amerikaanse grungeband Nirvana. Het lied, geschreven door frontman Kurt Cobain, gaat over mensen die zich buiten de wereld van alternatieve muziek bevinden, en de boodschap van de groep niet begrijpen.

De band nam een videoclip op van een eerdere versie van "In Bloom" in 1990 (er werd onder meer gefilmd aan de voormalige haven South Street Seaport en op Wall Street in de Lower East Side van Manhattan). De clip werd nooit commercieel vertoond. Pas na de release van Nirvana's tweede album Nevermind kwam "In Bloom" uit, de vierde en laatste single van het album. De song kreeg een nieuwe videoclip waarin een parodie op de muziekuitzendingen in de jaren zestig te zien is.

"In Bloom" is a song by American rock band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain. It appears as the second track on the band's second album, Nevermind, released by DGC Records in September 1991.

The Nevermind version is the second of two versions of the song that were released in 1991, the earlier of which was recorded in 1990, while the band was still signed to their original record label, Sub Pop. This version was initially released as a music video only, on the Sub Pop Video Network Volume 1 VHS compilation.

"In Bloom" was released as Nevermind's fourth and final single in November 1992 and generated heavy American airplay, reaching number 5 on the US Mainstream Rock chart, despite never being released as a physical single in the United States. The international release of the single made the top 10 in Ireland and Portugal, as well as the top 20 in Finland and New Zealand and the top 30 in Sweden and the United Kingdom. It was accompanied by a new music video, directed by American filmmaker Kevin Kerslake, which won Best Alternative Video at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards.
