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.

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....
