As an adult man who grew up on Grunge, I’d like to say I fully support and endorse the Nirvana clothing brand 😂
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.
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.
Runors is an amazing album. Almost every song is a number one song you’ve heard before but never realized it was Fleetwood Mac.
A lead zeppelin? How would it fly?
Not well, but better than expected:
It’s just the zeppelin that’s in the lead, right?
@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
@renardboy @MutantTailThing Everyone knows you should walk your Zeppelin at least three times a day to keep it healthy and happy… 😜
@NickEast_IndieWriter @MutantTailThing Also, get your lifting gas from a reputable specialist store. The stuff they sell at wall mart has nasty additives.

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.
My pal foot foot
That could certainly use its own t-shirt

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
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.
@Eldritch @NickEast_IndieWriter Yeah, I like Nirvana OK but I ain’t never heard of the shags.
Was even here. In the area. I literally grew up listening to Nirvana one county over from where they began. Not my favorite, since I was mostly metal, but up there.
I guess this means I’m not hip enough to say I like Nirvana :p
@Eldritch Okay, so what I’m hearing is that I should go and get myself a “The Shags are bad and you should feel bad for liking them” t-shirt, eventhough I’ve never heard the band 😂
Ironically yes. Any of the surviving Three Sisters would likely agree with you. And if you haven’t it’s a rabbit hole worth going down. Not too deep but kind of wild.
Three young daughters. Forced by their dad without any trainings to play music and form a band. At the behest of a prophecy by a grandparent.
@NickEast_IndieWriter @[email protected] @[email protected] @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.
I wish there was duke Ellington t-shirts when I was in high school
@NickEast_IndieWriter @[email protected] @[email protected] @aiop I can’t imagine an adult being “have you even listened toMood Indigo !?!?”
@NickEast_IndieWriter @[email protected] @[email protected] @aiop Hey if you get a walker to the shin it’s not my fault. :boomer_laugh:
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 @[email protected] @[email protected] @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. 😭

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.
I would be really impressed to see the “Primus Sucks” line return
The RAM ones but what about the RAM zeros?
@whaleross I think you mean R.E.M 😜
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…
@SethTaylor I do agree everyone should buy indie merch but we also shouldn’t yell at people, it’s a conundrum 😂
And this is how I learn Mastodon and Lemmy can communicate
I’m fairly certain that Kurt would approve.

Do it. I think it’s funny.
I think Kurt would have found it funny as hell too!
