"Negative Creep" is a song by American rock band Nirvana from its 1989 debut album Bleach. The song was written by Kurt Cobain about himself, and how he claimed that he always saw himself as a negative person. It was named as one of the "Sub Popiest" grunge songs the band ever recorded.IGN called it "a text book example of Seattle's true grunge sound". "Negative Creep" is the only song on Bleach (including the reissued tracks), that does not end abruptly. Instead it fades out with the vocals, giving it a 1960s pop aesthetic.
The line "Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more" shares similarities to the early Mudhoney single B-side "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More", later re-released on Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles. Some reviewers see the song as an ode, such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" being an ode to the Pixies' "Debaser".
The song was included on the soundtrack to the 1996 documentary Hype!
