As an adult man who grew up on Grunge, I'd like to say I fully support and endorse the Nirvana clothing brand 😂 @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop #MusicMemes #Music #Memes #Nirvana #Clothing #Brand

A lead zeppelin? How would it fly?

The RAM ones but what about the RAM zeros?

Gen X. I'm fine with it. I see young people repping AC/DC and Fleetwood Mac all the time. I always comment on a Fleetwood Mac shirt. They almost never know the music, but they like the design. I say they had good album art, it's fine if that's what you like, maybe check out Rumours sometime.

I remember when Miley Cyrus got a lot of shit for repping Iron Maiden. Turned out she was an actual fan and knew a thing or two about them. Shut the haters up real fast. Or similarly when Babymetal toured with Rob Zombie and his longtime fans bashed the Japanese idol band on social media, and Zombie fired back, saying those young ladies go harder than you ever will, or something like that.

Yeah, but Nirvana sucked, Dave Grohl is a good drummer but terrible singer and mediocre guitarist

There's a reason why Krist Novo-whatever-nobody-remembers-him-ocelot is never mentioned

And if Cobain hadn't sucked a shotgun, they'd never have become legends because they were not very good

My teen daughter knows more about Fleetwood Mac than I do. I never really listened to them and she recently turned on The Chain. Pretty good stuff.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop I had a realization that teens wearing Led Zeppelin T-shirts today is the temporal equivalent of someone wearing a Duke Ellington shirt when I was in highschool.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop I can't imagine an adult being "have you even listened toMood Indigo !?!?"

So edgy and irreverent!

As an old man, I love to see old band shirts on kids, regardless of whether they know the band or not. I wore OP, billabong, quicksilver and the like as a kid, having never stood on a surfboard.

Some people just like to be angry, if it weren't the shirt that did it, they would just find something else.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop I guess I'm just way too old and out of touch. I did encounter a young lady wearing a New Order t-shirt who didn't know who they were but just liked the design. But I had no idea I was supposed to be angry about it. Now I feel like I didn't represent adult men properly. 😭

Not well, but better than expected:

@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop Hey if you get a walker to the shin it's not my fault. :boomer_laugh:

@MutantTailThing @NickEast_IndieWriter no it's "led" as in the past tense of the verb "to lead"Where was it led and whom by remains an unknown however

Considering that alternative and grunge came out of post punk which itself descended from punk. Most of the bands from those genres wouldn't care either. Hell most people who claim that they like Nirvana probably have never even heard the shags. Or any of the other number of influences Kurt Cobain cited.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @MutantTailThing Also, get your lifting gas from a reputable specialist store. The stuff they sell at wall mart has nasty additives.

Runors is an amazing album. Almost every song is a number one song you've heard before but never realized it was Fleetwood Mac.

Ok smooth brain

My pal foot foot

I wish there was duke Ellington t-shirts when I was in high school

I'm fairly certain that Kurt would approve.

That could certainly use its own t-shirt

why’s my eye twitching

Hell most people who claim that they like Nirvana probably have never even heard the shags. Or any of the other number of influences Kurt Cobain cited.

Oh you like Nirvana? Name three of their influences 😤

It’s ok to like an artist/band/singer based solely on, you know, liking their music. That’s kinda the whole point

@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop I think the Teen Spirit clothing line from Nirvana is great, but it has nothing on their "Come as You Are" line.

I would be really impressed to see the “Primus Sucks” line return

Absolutely. That was indeed the intention with what I posted. To poke at and make fun of The Gatekeepers who would get upset. There's always someone who knows more.

My daughter has a Nirvana shirt. I think its hilarious.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop kpop is the button on the microwave i look for to enjoy a bag of kernel popcorn.

I was at a Hum show last night, a band I fell in love with in the late 90s. In front of me was a young couple who were almost certainly not born when Hum was at their peak. They were taking “selfies” of themselves with a digital camera and honestly looked like they could have come right from that time.

They were re-living a time they hadn’t lived but had seen on videos, and they were reliving it filtered through decades of other cultural influence, and it was beautiful, almost re-assuring in a world gone mad - the cycle continues.

Young people are interested in that time, and any way that they engage with it, whether through appreciating the music or its more abstract influence on the culture, it’s their interpretation on it and we don’t own it just because we were around the first time.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop Well, as I'm here now, I must admit, I AM indeed entertained.

It's just the zeppelin that's in the lead, right?

Do it. I think it's funny.

Methinks of skateboard tshirts which managed to make their way into the mainstream.

The Rape Me t-shirts aren't exactly flying off the shelves, but I hear lots of folks are buying the Breed ones for their partners.

Comments like this won't get you fists where you want them, FistingEthusiast 😂

I was gonna be an asshole about this and yell about how all them kids oughta buy indie band merch instead but... I haven't shot a hoop since I was 15 and all I own is Converse so... touche...

Oh I'm the fister, not the fistee

@renardboy@mastodon.social @NickEast_IndieWriter@mastodon.art @MutantTailThing@lemmy.world @TheFartographer@lemmy.world I'm also commenting on this

This would throw my daughter into a rage if someone said that around her.

I think Kurt would have found it funny as hell too!

And this is how I learn Mastodon and Lemmy can communicate

I had on a Nirvana tshirt. I was born in 82. A younger guy asks what my favorite song is, and all I could think of was Smells Like Teen Spirit and Rape Me.

lololol

maybe

@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop Black with silver embroidery reading Metallica?Though neither are to my taste in music, which is otherwise quite wide.
