I'm seventy eight, and I was wearing my Three Dog Night shirt this morning

I have a Two Turtle Doves and A Partridge in a Pear Tree T-shirt!

Cobain died 30 years ago. Their fans at the time could have been teens and 20s, and would be 45-55 now. That is their era.

Seems to be missed by some.

Now I suspect that she was wouldn't recognize irony even if it were delivered with a 2x4 to the head.

I thinks someone told her that and she deleted her post.

Does this person think Nirvana is contemporary?

Maybe they should develop a style for their own era or even better get over themselves and realize people have been sporting jeans and favorite bands for many decades.

If I want to fit in with them I can always try staring at my phone with a resting grumpy cat face.

Same thing for kids wearing Ramones T-shirts, Beatles T-shirts, and Jimi Hendrix T-shirts

Get your own generational icons and leave ours alone

Fans of the Virgil Flowers novels by John Sanford know and respect Virgil’s fondness for rock band t-shirts.

When she’s not setting her fascist mob on trans teens?

I thought she was talking about a brand of clothing, until I read through the comments on this post....

I couldn't tell you a single one of their songs.

I've been stuck in this bubble of different versions of the boys since then...

nt.

Krist Novoselic is 59. Grohl is 55.

did she actually think Nirvana is a....young band?

These social piranhas don't know anything about anything except what their sycophants tell them. Or what they make up on their own.

When you are raised in a bubble...

seriously demented

Star Trek and I are the same age, 60. We were both 'created' in 1964.

I remember people having B&W televisions and not caring about it.

I remember when FM took over as the radio band of choice. I remember having to get an add-on for that as most cars did not have FM radios.

I remember party lines. (explain that one to a person under 30!)

I remember when the news was done as a courtesy and it was never biased or politically motivated.

I remember when it was unusual for a car to have an auto transmission. (I think growing up on a farm has something to do with that one.)

I remember the only time you could watch cartoons was Saturday mornings. (Except on PBS. But, no one wanted to watch any of that after one got to school age. The Saturday morning lineup thing died with the birth of cable channels.)

Star Wars came out 47 years ago.

These things make me feel VERY old.

I saw them last summer in concert. I first started listening to them in high school. I'm 58.

Sit down & shut up, Chaya Raichik.

Who the hell is she, anyway, & why should I care what she thinks?

'Claim' Nirvana as belonging to her generation.

I predate Nirvana.

Jethro Tull, Joe Cocker, T Rex era for me.

By tying my shoes in the morning.

You know you are getting old when you go to your doctor with a new complaint and end up with another drug to take daily.

It’s “welcome back”. I’ll post something later.

I was also wild and young. Now I’m wild and old.

We’re DU OG. I was there with you in ‘03.

I remember it well - first time I had ever smoked a joint using those strawberry flavored papers and who can forget Boone's Farm wine? 😎

Youngsters these days got no idea!

But act like they do. Why is that?

Who the fuck ask for your opinion ???

I’m 40 and have a Nirvana t-shirt. But they are from my era so there’s that!

..........................................SUPER CIRCUS??..........ROY ROGERS?

Nirvana stared late 80s, early 90s.

I found a rock and roll tshirt display in a store that showed a Rolling Stones 1975 tour shirt. I saw the Stones then! But, the store was actually sold out of the tshirt. I was so disappointed that I thought the store shouldn't have allowed young people (like those under 60) to buy those shirts because they weren't there! It was a crazy reaction, just like the joke featured here, but, honest, I would have grabbed one out of a 40 year olds cart if I'd spotted it. (Will DU fund my bail if I get picked up for tshirt fighting?) 😥 🤪

I hitchhiked from Nashua NH to Boston to see Humble Pie, Montrose, and Spooky Tooth. It was my first concert. I was 17. When Montrose finished their set they set their guitars down and the guitars were still playing as they exited stage left. I was tripping balls. Get off my LAWN!

Don't post this person's crap here.

This is a "joke" or an ironic post.

I'm a preferred substitute teacher at a high school in Los Angeles.

The teenagers DEFINITELY know Nirvana isn't their generation. The shirts just look cool and they happen to like Nirvana as well. I also see teens wearing The Ramones shirts, The Cure, The Clash, and, of course, The Beatles. They actually really like the music of these great bands. Sometimes I'll see one of them with a shirt on and I'll say are you a fan or did you just put on the shirt? Every now and then they say it's there moms or dads. I still think it's cool.

In fact, a couple of months ago I was subbing for a 10th grade class. The students were working in projects with their groups so they were discussing their assignments while enjoying each others company as well. All of a sudden one of the 10th grade girls sang these words: "Once there was a way to get back homeward.... Then the rest of the table joined in, "once there was a way to get back home....sleep little darlin' do not cry and I will sing a lullaby". Yes....I teared up....
