*Strictly opinion,
don’t read if you don’t care for it*
Nirvana has always
been a favorite band of mine. I really enjoy all the emotion and rawness to
their music. Unfortunately most people that say they like Nirvana do not actually
listen to the band and they may have heard Smells
Like Teen Spirit, About a Girl, or Heart-Shaped
Box once or twice. Also, most people that showcase their ‘enjoyment’ of
Nirvana through band merchandise only wear the shirts because they look cool or
to look cool. I have been accused of this when I got my first Nirvana shirt in
my junior year of high school. I was screamed at by someone who claimed that I didn’t
even listen to the band and that Kurt would hate me for wearing it (She was
convinced that she had spoken to him on many occasions, but he was dead when
she was born). I understand the grief of people wearing band merch and saying
that they like a band in order to be relevant, but before jumping someone
people need to check their facts. I hate it just as much as everyone else when
people wear band shirts that they only bought because it looks cool or to make
people think they listen to those bands, but unless you know for a fact that
they don’t then don’t confront them on it because you don’t know. Please don’t
wear band merch if you don’t truly like the band. THIS GOES FOR ALL BANDS!
This was sort of a
rant, but I couldn’t add it to the actual Nirvana blog as it is for a grade.
