Why are the all kids wearing Nirvana t shirts?

[TheWelshposter]

I'm seeing them everywhere, usually in bright pink and purple and acid colours. Are the kids listening to Nirvana now or do they think it's the name of a fashion brand?

I think modern pop has sort of lost its way of late. But there’s some brilliant proper bands out there still.
they just aren’t making the likes of heart radio etc

Our 14-yr-old loves Nirvana so they got a tshirt. It is funny when they come in with music they think they've discovered 😃

Our older (teen) kids love The Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division, The The, etc. They think they are being cool and edgy. Equally, they were appalled to discover this was ‘our’ teen music, and that took the edge off it a bit.

I’m sure we were a bit the same about the Beatles and Rolling Stones in the 80s though.

Yes, I felt like I was back in the 90s a couple of weeks ago when I walked down the street and a gaggle of girls were walking towards me. All in cargo pants and crop tops.

Just chuck an unbuttoned checked lumberjack shirt on top and you've got one of my favourite outfits of my teens (turned 13 in 1995).

I was in the Adidas shop recently and they had popper trousers in there!

I'm here for the 90s revival. Though as it was surely only 5 years ago, I'm not sure how it's come round so fast.

The correct response when asked if you’ve heard of Nirvana is to say you preferred their first album. Anyway, the kids aren’t properly cool in my book until they're sporting a Pixies t-shirt.

I don't think they've ever gone away, my friends ds wore them as a baby in 2011 and my dd was wearing them as a teenager before then

Lol,my 15 year old son told me what his favourite song was and had I ever heard it ,Zombie ,by the Cranberries 🤣

Pearl have always been SUCH a boring band. Typical that the most pedestrian of those Seattle bands had the most success. I think a lot of it was to do with Eddie Vedder's pretty face.

I saw a young girl, 20-ish, with a huge Stone Roses tattoo on her arm. If she was born in 2002 the Stone Roses are the same distance to her as Buddy Holly was to me.

<faints>

actually no I got that wrong. Same distance from me as She Loves You era Beatles.

Maybe they like Nirvana.

Everyone wearing NASA t-shirts is weirder. They always look the type that couldn't even tell you what NASA stands for.

Someone bought my dd one for her birthday a little while ago. She's 5 so has no clue who they are but loves the smiley face on it so wears it a lot. I actually swore I'd never be the parent who dressed their kids up i. Merchandise of bands that into but technically she dresses herself so it's not my doing.

My kid has one, charity shop find. He also likes nirvana so what if he's 4

I feel like going up to them and saying "I have one of those that's 25 years old you know". And shake my walking stick.

Ah I feel very old now.

Oh yes, this would annoy me too.

I have a DD in her 20s. She has a Nirvana tshirt and often borrows her boyfriend's AC/DC or Guns N Roses T-shirts and I delight in asking her what her favourite songs are because she can't name a single one

Ramones t-shirts were trendy for a while and a friend of mine used to delight in asking wearers of said t-shirts to name their favourite Ramones album. They could rarely give an answer.

Don't wear a band t-shirt if you don't want to be confronted by muso nerds

I'm rubbish at album names. Do love the ramones and could name songs that I live but couldn't name an album.

Like the teen on Twitter who said how nice it was of Rhianna to duet with an old man (that 'old man' being Paul McCartney.)

I’ve just bought Dd one from Urban Outfitters. Then l had a very distressing conversation with her.

’Nerd’bands such as Nirvana, The Smiths, Radiohead and Weezer are known as Incel bands! I was horrified.

l would say all those bands were definitely non mysoginist bands. But she was adamant it was a thing!😢

It's not just nirvana. They've all been wearing 90s clothes for ages. All the kids think we're cool and want to be us.

Losers.

Ramones weren't really an album band.

And Paul McCartney is old!

Well they still churned out loads of albums. If in doubt just go for an eponymous album title and it might work. Would with the Ramones.

I mean, if you liked the Ramones you wouldn't usually talk about albums.

My sons thought that Paradise City was a song made for computer games 🫣
