It’s also ok to like a bands visual art even if you are not a fan of their musical art. Or I suppose the other way round too
There’s some truth to the joke through - a while ago one of the fast fashion brands, I think it was H&M, created a line of fake bands just to put on t-shirts and other things. It’s pretty sad.
“Nirvana is just a state I’d like to achieve someday”
I love the LED Zeppelins, they’re such a nice design brand.
I thought that was a light bulb brand.
I’m slightly annoyed, go on
This. Fuck those gatekeepers.
And he’s mumblin’
And he’s screamin’
Cause he can’t name
What they’re singing!
Let him wear shirts,
They don’t wanna.
Even cool bands
Like Nirvana!
My daughter wore a Motörhead body when she was 6 months old, and couldn’t name a single song of theirs. What a fucking poser
You: “Say mama, say dada.”
Her: “Overkill.”
🤘
I can’t even name the bands or titles of songs I regularly listen to. Some of us just listen to music to enjoy it, not to score fact points with music nerds.
Fuck off with this gatekeeping bullshit.
Don’t be mad, this joke is so old and tired that a sunagogue considered it safe to tweet in 2021
yet, wearing a band shirt implicates interest. imagine talking to sb using that as a lead and them being clueless. At least have a story why you’d wear a bands shirt you dont know (its my brothers etc.)
Nah. Eat an ass. I’m wearing it because nirvana is my favorite clothing brand.
Nah, fuck off. No one needs to pass your dumbass purity test to wear a certain shirt.
Wearing a sports jersey implicates interest as well but I won’t expect someone wearing a Buffalo Bills jersey to name our third string depth corner.
I’d rather be excited someone actually has interest in something I do rather than gatekeep that interest. I’d love to talk about the player depth of the Buffalo Bills with someone who only knows who Josh Allen is. It makes me happy sharing something I love and it will make them a bigger fan than they were yesterday.
If your entire fandom is based on knowing everything about it, you’re the piece of shit.
You started your fandom on something from nothing. There was a time you didn’t know a single song of the band you love, or a player on the team you watch. You didn’t know shit about it and now you do. Do the same for others and help them learn more, not be the school test on their knowledge.
Exactly. Gatekeeping exists for the purpose of bouncing predators and Nazis who front the idea of belonging and allyship from gaining access to the scene under false pretenses. I’d wager everyone of us has at some point worn a shirt, patch, or pin of some band we liked because of the design or the vibe but weren’t able to recite their entire catalog from memory. Hell, some of the bands fuck up trying to play their own deep cuts and B-sides years later.
I would accidently pack a slipknot shirt of my (rather big-boned) classmate after sport. My mother washed the clothes and would wear it in the garden as it would fit nobody else. I had no idea and never told her but seing her gardening even years after my graduation in a slipknot shirt was hilarious.
Then people’ll be : no one listens to the good old music any more (after shaming every newcomer away).
Easy. Ghosts 1, 2, 3 and 4
This type of nonsense actually kills the thing you’re trying to protect. What are you trying to prove? That some kid doesn’t know the songs? Sure, you know you’re right… but why milk it? Just say “come as you are” and share your passions with others.
I wouldn’t have been able to name the songs as a kid, even if I knew them. For example, growing up listening to my parents’ radio, I already loved the Beatles, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, etc. - I could sing a lot of their songs, but didn’t have the connection to the artists in my brain yet. I just knew, “Oh hey, it’s that song I like.” Only when I got older and started building my own music collection did I start to connect the musician names and song names to the songs.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case for kids in band T-shirts. Their parents bought them the shirt. Their parents probably play that musician’s music around their kid. The kid can like the music, wear the shirt, but still be unable to “name three songs” by the artist just because that information hasn’t come together for them yet.
Yeah, this is such a dumb territorial pissings. Just dive into good music before you get an aneurism. Moist vagina!
This dude is such a negative creep.
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.
empty wallet CHAINED to my belt for fucks sake.
That’s functional. The chain weighed you down so you didn’t drift away.
The wallet chain prevents you from getting robbed because it signals to everyone you have no money
You throw the wallet out like an anchor.
I NEED a single panel news paper comic of this visual.
Okay but the wallet chains (thicker the better, sagging little over knee) were cool

Oh, you’re a Nirvana fan? Name every person Courtney Love has killed with a Shotgun to the face.
Should I just not save him when he ODs next, like the multiple other times I saved him previously?
Nah better shoot him in the face with a shotgun that he procured from a friend, after he suddenly absconds from rehab. A gun he got after all his other guns were seized by the police when I called them the last time he locked himself in a room with guns.
Genius play by Courtney. Kill the suicidal drug addict before they kill themselves.
Nobody ever accused Courtney Love of being well adjusted
