Nick East (Indie Writer)As an adult man who grew up on Grunge, I'd like to say I fully support and endorse the Nirvana clothing brand 😂
MutantTailThingA lead zeppelin? How would it fly?
Not well, but better than expected:
an actual bus@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.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I’m also commenting on this
@renardboy I tought their primary diet was cooked chicken bones and really dark choclate? 🤔
It’s just the zeppelin that’s in the lead, right?
whaleross@whaleross I think you mean R.E.M 😜
CerebralHawksGen 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.
potoooooooo 🥔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.
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
@FistingEnthusiast @NickEast_IndieWriter
I’d disagree on the not very good part, but I do agree that they have become overrated in the wake of Cobain’s death.
Schwim DandySo edgy and irreverent!
Ok smooth brain
Seth TaylorComments like this won’t get you fists where you want them, FistingEthusiast 😂
Oh I’m the fister, not the fistee
Jaicup@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor @[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.
@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor @[email protected] @aiop I can't imagine an adult being "have you even listened toMood Indigo !?!?"
@Jaicup I'm gonna get a Duke Ellington t-shirt and start haning out at retirement homes, then we'll see 😜
@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor @[email protected] @aiop Hey if you get a walker to the shin it's not my fault. 
AkasazhAs 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.
@schwim That is definitely true, so getting yelled at by an angry stranger actually counts as an act of public service? 🤔 That way the anger doesn't build up until they climb a belltower with a gun....
Jez DuBois 🌎@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor @[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. 😭
@technothrasher I think the one's your currently missrepresenting is the Ironic-Society, putting the Iron in Ironing since before it was Ironic 😜
EldritchConsidering 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.
@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 😂
jz.tusk@NickEast_IndieWriter @Eldritch
You should!
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.
derptron@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
Yes as a 50 something contrarian goth. Nirvana is fine but just not especially my bag. I was a bigger fan of Dave’s solo project and even then I only have the first album. Hell the Deal sisters were a bigger deal to me than the foo fighters. One of them being the inspiration and assisted in the creation of the song Everlong. So I don’t even think Dave would disagree.
My pal foot foot

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 @[email protected] @aiop *Lord Neckbeard of Fedora appears out of thin air to challenge you with his riddles three*
@renardboy The worst kind of Sphinx 😂
HighlandLawyer@HighlandLawyer The Sphinx-ter Fedora, the High Lord of Ruining Jokes by trying to explain them, with an obssesive need to comment on all they see 😂
@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor @[email protected] @aiop Wear a Metal Church shirt because you love Jesus.
The Melvins because you like children's TV characters.
MushuChupacabraI’m fairly certain that Kurt would approve.
(des)mostheneswhy’s my eye twitching
@desmosthenes Brainworm? 😜
lololol
maybe
Sham 🏳️🌈@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor @[email protected] @aiop I think the Teen Spirit clothing line from Nirvana is great, but it has nothing on their "Come as You Are" line.
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.
Philipp Tootloff@NickEast_IndieWriter Lets take this a step further and create a Teen Spirit perfume
@kleinfreund I'm not sure what Teen Sprit smells like but I imagine it's bad, real bad 😂
peterfisherbooks.com=freescify@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor @[email protected] @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.
Tormod@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor @[email protected] @aiop
Well, as I'm here now, I must admit, I AM indeed entertained.
@airwhale I think Kurt Cobain was against that sort of thing 😜😁
Den of Earth@NickEast_IndieWriter @humor @[email protected] @aiop
There was an article in The Truth About Cars where the author related how his father spent more time under the hood of their Landy than in the driver's seat.
Once, a youth walked by with a Rage Against The Machine t-shirt, and he asked, oh, does he own a Land-Rover too?
@DenOfEarth I think the Internet has unanimously decided that the Machine they were raging against was a printer... 🤔
Do it. I think it’s funny.
