smells like teen spirit isn't a palm mute, it's a left hand mute. Just let off 90% of the pressure you are applying with your fret hand so you're touching the strings but not pushing them down to the fretboard. You'll hear a very noticeable difference in your sound. I do remember this being confusing when I first started playing guitar, but you should be able to pick it up very quickly.
Just what this guy said. And increase the speed of the strumming while muting for the fast "tshktshktshk" sound thats in the song.
And learn the solo, its really easy
