    Oh, you’re a Nirvana fan? Name every person Courtney Love has killed with a Shotgun to the face.

    One other problem with naming Nirvana songs is that their titles are often not words from the chorus like most mainstream songs.

    I think most people who know Nirvana could name Smells like teen spirit even though it’s not in the lyrics. I suspect people could name Come as you are, since it’s the first lyric of the song.

    But after that, I guess it might be Heart shaped box?

    With Nirvana, when you really want to hear that one song and you go look it up, you always think, okay, what’s the song name? “Yeah!”? That can’t be right. And then you have to go through some process to pry it out of your memory until you remember it’s Lithium.

    As someone who grew up on Nirvana I’m in no place to gatekeep fashion. My clothes back then were so fucking big that gusts of wind picked me up like a kite. I had an empty wallet CHAINED to my belt for fucks sake.

    I’m not going to gatekeep this but I will be sad when the conversation goes “cool {band} shirt! You ever listen to their live stuff?” and they go “what? It’s a band?”

        Yeah, BUT… thrift stores, and also charities with donated clothes.

        There was a homeless guy wandering around street where I live who was wearing Minecraft creeper cap, so I’d say there’s non-zero chance of him getting Pikachu shirt at some point. 🗿
