As someone who was in high school during the 90s, this image is hilarious. They would have you believe that Nirvana was some underground band that only the edgy outcasts knew about or liked. In reality, they were fucking HUGE!! They were the undisputed heavyweights of music. The "2013 girl" would have been just as likely to be into Nirvana as the "1993 girl"

It's mind-boggling. Even now they're a very mainstream rock band. It's not unlikely that teen girls these days would not know about Nirvana, and if they didn't it would be astoundingly easy for them to find out.

Nirvana is sort of not dead yet. They still do shows as Nirvana. It rarely happens, but but it happens.

You're thinking of Kurt Cobain. Nirvana is the one in the Foo Fighters.

I wore a Nirvana shirt in 1993 too. I was six years old and watched Batman cartoons. Newsflash: Nirvana were already super popular in 1993 and were never exclusively the domain of rebellious angsty teens.

no smiling while wearing the smiley face t-shirt - this has been your final warning

I think what this post is getting at is that Nirvana tees are sold at any given clothes store, and, teenage girls will get them without even liking the band.

Most people aren't going to buy a shirt if they don't like the band. But more importantly, who cares? It's their body and their money, I don't care what someone else wears or why. I certainly don't care enough to make a meme about it.

Don't you miss the days when attractive, cleanly dressed woman didn't exist? If they wanted me to hate the one from 2013 why didn't they stereo typically give her a bikini, duck face, messed up hair, and crazy make up? Why did they decide to make her a calm and collected, pretty looking, and normal girl? Maybe I am supposed to hate the one above.

DAE MODERN FASHION DOESN'T MEET MY SPECIFIC ARBITRARY REQUIREMENTS TO BE A FAN OF A BAND?

Oh my god, that slattern in the bottom left is showing her shoulder! Have these harlots no shame?!

Yeah, because cigarettes are a great look.

But they are le classy!

In the 90's people wore shirts slightly different that's so much better, I'm gonna go cut myself now.

I dunno. The girl in the 2013 picture looks more inclined to enjoy the fun loving spirit of "The Story of Simon Simopath" than the other one. Yeesh.

I will never understand why people thought the top look was a good one.

I thought the message here was you're not allowed to like Nirvana if you're happy...
DAE like to be depressed?
