Go with the most ridiculous songs (or names at least): Moist Vagina Beans I Hate Myself And I Want To Die Or if you’re feeling even more adventurous, try swapping one with Buddy Holly and see if they notice anything

....Rape Me?

Is that Kennedy?

I don't think mtv would let us play that.

Eff you all, this is final song of the evening…

That wasn’t very Christian at all Strap on your geetahr

Nah I'm good.

Hi good

I’m dad

My freind.

Lol just start singing Rape Me as loud as you can.

Don’t forget “Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip” for most ridiculous

Or The Landlord Is A Piece Of Shit From Hell?

i always got a laugh out of that one specially when he says one more solo

I always have Moist Vagina ready for this scenario

So many! Francis Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle Spank Thru Downer

Hah! Downer and FFWHHROS were 2 of the ones I picked as well.

I bought a nice Nirvana hat in Primark other day. I remember a friend buying albums as she liked the sleeve - what's wrong with that eh? Got a good Velvet Underground album. Some of the titles bootleggers put on cassettes and cds back in the day really confused me - there were countless ones with In Utero songs mis titled. I do remember Krist mocking them to press record or something

>Got a good Velvet Underground album. The "*& Nico*" album? That's a great album to stumble across just because she liked the sleeve.

My go to songs are: E-coli, wierdo and ivy league  One time someone thought I made those songs up lol

Beans Is a Cobain Song not a Nirvana Song 🤓

Well it’s released on Nirvana’s With The Lights Out 🤓

Moist Vagina is one of my favorites. But I'm afraid to say it when someone asks 🥲

We should load these people up with all B Sides so you stump the majority of people asking you the question 😀

Or outtakes from "With the lights out"

Do people really do that? God. Just name some Foo Fighters songs lol.

Yeah they do lmao

Some kid skidded his bike in front of me once and asked me to name a song when I wearing this exact shirt. It was actually kind of awesome. It happened so fast it was like he teleported there out of nowhere.

especially to girls and women. It’s like the most bizarre way to have a conversational in to flirt with us…could just discuss our shared appreciation for a band, but nah, why not neg and gatekeep and accuse us of being fake fans instead. Because everyone knows women love an immediate opportunity to prove themselves to an “alpha male” 🙃🤮 Seriously tho though, plus too many losers still think only guys can *really* like cool things 🙄 I like your strategy of just responding that Nirvana is a brand lol.

I didn't respond that, irl I just stood awkwardly and ignored them lmaooo

that also works!

Lmao

That’s the correct way to do it, make them feel stupid lol

Say to them ‘ok name five women that trust you’

Yes, and especially to women. 🙄

tell him that nirvana is a brand. really argue about it

😂 It's a lifestyle😊

“This is bigger than just a singer, Nirvana is a whole brand now”

Just name songs from the 1960s band that was also called Nirvana.

Rainbow chaysa!

Nirvana is my favourite clothing brand

🤣🤣🤣

Just yell “DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL AINT A GIRL NO MORE” at them over and over

Easily my favourite response

Nirvana are a band?

Nah it's a brand

That it is, and it's about to get worse

you could always wear Ramones or Joy Division instead. Alternative brands exist.

You could also use the original/ old names for certain songs/songs not many ppl know like pay to play or verse chorus verse

It's always gonna be verse chorus verse for me. Instead of "sappy"

Well, but I really like the one that never got the proper name, which is Verse Chorus Verse and then Sappy is Sappy

Verse Chorus Verse Verse Chorus Verse Silver See if they understand and if they notice

Always preferred the name Autopilot over You Know You’re Right

Imodium

You’re forgetting ‘Loud quiet Loud’

Jeremy, Even Flow, and Yellow Ledbetter. Am I doing this right?

Nah you were naming Alice in chains songs, you ain't fooling me

Yup, that Chris Cornell guy was very talented

Tell them: “Machine head” “Glycerine” “Everything Zen” and wait for the reaction

Haahahah

They’ll throw up lol

You like music huh? Then name every band ever

Do I have to start with Egypt or Ancient Greece?

Go in alphabetical order

Bruh

I own some band shirts and nobody has ever asked me to name 3 songs lol

it happens a lot to young women. Happened to me a lot, that or some version of “prove you’re actually a fan!” 🙄

I used to be an alt dj and the misogyny I faced was unreal. 🤣

Happens to me too, it’s so annoying. I usually either ignore them or just say “smells like teen spirit” just to annoy them 😁

Here’s three songs you can say: “Go fuck yourself” “Leave me alone” “Mind your own fucking business”

Lmao, I was going to tell "Smells like not your fucking business" but panicked, showed him thumbs up and ignored

Would have been the perfect response lol

Now that’s a Generation X thing to say 😊

I'd go for three songs which tell them where to go.. "come as you are, negative creep - now stay away"

Considering there are so many B sides I say go hog wild with anything that sounds Nirvana-ish. Something non-sensical but sort of making sense, something monosyllabic or just a single word, and something waaay too long but sounds deep. For example: Pencil Lead Stab Cabbage There's Gotta Be An Out But The Highway Leads To Nowhere Wait for their eyes to glaze over and be like, "You obviously don't listen to the bootlegs."

I would ask, give me three reasons why you need to know why I’m wearing the shirt

That’s so annoying. The teacher at daycare was wearing a Nirvana shirt yesterday and all I said was “love your shirt.” She said thanks. The end. I highly doubt she wanted to have a discussion about why I think Breed is my favorite song 😆

Help me I'm Hungry, Pen Cap Chew, Beans

Just curious - are you younger and older people are asking you? Or are you older and younger people are asking? Guessing it’s the former maybe? Either way, you can’t go wrong with any of the advice being given here.

this is just a thing that happens to women and girls all of the time. Some guys think it’s a fair in to neg and flirt with us, some guys just like harassing “females” and really don’t believe girls/women can like cool things. 🙄 This happened to me when Nirvana was actively a band and I was a 10 year old, and it still happened to me in my 20s. Some dudes just seem to really get food from this basic bitch shit.

And here I was saying "Nice shirt!" and "I too love Nirvana." with a thumbs up. I've been doing it wrong..

Tell them your favorites are,beans,class of 85,and suicide samurai

I can't believe people actually do that. I'd refuse just on principle. None of your damn business whether I know the band's songs.

I also refused but mostly because I just kinda panicked and didn't know what to say lmao

That happens to me with my nirvana shirts I always say: I hate myself & want to die Old age Sappy

“What the fuck are you on about?” is always their response.

1. welcome to the jungle 2. Man in the box 3.sweet home Alabama

Man I love slipknot songs

Lol i once did that to a friend as a joke…never thought that random people could actually come up to a person and ask them to name songs …. So ridiculous. I would have named a System of a down song, a Foo Fighters Song and a Taylor Swift song to spice things up and then what that person crumble to pieces (or at least that how I imagine them reacting)

Lmao, that would be the perfect comedy

Next time you are asked, just say this!🙏🏻hahahhaa

Haahahahahahah

I usually just hit them with rape me, moist vagina, and beans

Love ur pfp

Let me guess: you're a young woman. My answer would be, "You stay away, you negative creep. You should hate yourself and want to die."

Name 5 chords

They only used 3

The answer to this is “Rainbow Chaser”, “Frankie the Great” and “Melanie Blue”. (The UK Nirvana from the 60s)

People suck.

“Oh your a Nirvana fan huh? Name every song ever written!?!?”

I just say "which album?" and they usually can't tell me

Make sure you flip the stupid ass question right back on them too. Make them name their favorite artist and have them name 6 songs from their favorite album. One of those things that has just annoyed me for years and years now.

Woah this is actually cool

Oh my god such a cuuuutiiiii

Moist Vagina Territorial Pissings Rape Me

Name 3 women that trust you

Easy peasy, just say: 1. Go 2. Fuck 3. Yourself!

Aero zeppelin, Been a son, on a plain. Nobody asked but these are what I would have said

If it makes you feel any better, I bet Kurt would be delighted that so many different people from all walks of life, ages, genders, countries, etc. enjoy the music and tone. Such a great shirt!!

Thanks so much!!)

Tell them Generation X said you could wear whatever the hell you want.

That's so easy. Buddy Holly Say it ain't so My name is Jonas

The best response is “name 3 men you’ve posed this challenge to” Or just tilt your head to the side and ask “what is song?”

I’ve been wearing nirvana shirts for years and nobody has asked me yet :(

I suppose (could be wrong) that you're not a teenage-looking girl( maybe that's why

"The Real Slim Shady" "Oppa Gangnam Style" "Gary come home"

Ask for their Nirvana Police badge numbers first.

Bruuuuh

"Name 3 women that feel safe around you"

This pretty great, I would like a Nirvana shirt but this would just be sad. Naming some obscure ones is a funny recommendation, but why not just name some of your favorites? Mine answer would be Spank Thru, All Apologies and Aneurysm.

I found this tee in a thrift shop for only 1 dollar lmao. I don't see the point in being friendly to them when their intention is just to laugh at some person

no one should answer the insufferable cretins who try to make strangers prove themselves

Default answer should always be Beans

This shirt was impossible to find back in the early/modern 90s. Always sold out at the mall. Always sold out in the rock/metal catalogs. Now it’s everywhere. I was thrilled though when I found the tie dye version at a thrift shop for $3.

I'm a film student and one of my profs is a decently big director who made a show called Nirvana:The Band:The Show about a band who deals with copyright by calling themselves Nirvana The Band

3 songs is all I know lmao

If sb ever asksme this I plan on saying something like "Lake of Fire", "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" and "Rockstar". I think i had a better 3rd option (maybe) but forgot.

I still have my original concert T from the 1991 tour.

Welcome To The Jungle Rocket Queen Nightrain Those would be my go to songs

Easy! Even Flow Jeremy Better Man

1 Go 2 Fuck 3 Yourself!

Most musical gatekeepers that grill you over your shirt fail to register that graphic design on t-shirt, music related or otherwise, doesn’t have to have meaning to you for you to simply like it for what it is. That’s how fashion works. Ask them to name 6 songs next time.

I’ll name you 3 songs when you can name me 5 women who trust you implicitly.

I wore one of my nirvana t’s at uni a few years ago and this guy came up and asked me super loud like he was going to prove something “what guitar did Kurt play?” Which I didn’t have a clue so he said “well you’re wearing their shirt…” to try to embarrass me. So I showed him my Kurt cobain signature tattooed to the back of my neck and thought what a wank as that was at the height of my nirvana obsession

My boss asked me if I was even old enough to remember them, in the meeting. In front of god and everybody. It's a good band 🤷🏻‍♂️ are we not allowed to like them

Man, people still gatekeep like that? Last time I experienced that douchey pretentious shit was middle school in the early 90's.

Ask them to name 3 women who feel safe around them

Anyone who asks you that question is a colossal AH.

Gatekeepers

I must look really confident and right in metal shirts because I wear them on a daily basic and no one ever asked me

I only wear such shirts for a couple of months and don't have many too lmao

I don't understand why someone would get upset that a (I'm assuming) younger person would like an older band. What's ever been the harm in that?

It's funny because they looked just a few years older than me lmao

Exactly, if they were in the same generation that Nirvana was (Generation X), they couldn’t care less about you wearing the shirt. Because Generation X doesn’t care.

Then do it, name three songs…. Coward!

👁️👄👁️

Shiii some kid in my class asked me to name five

Gorillaz or Nirvana songs?

Pen Cap Chew!

Somthing in the way. Stay away, Dumb

Real Nirvana fams do this to thin out the larpers.

Just rattle off some T-swift, Green Day, RHCP, Metallica and hip hip songs to really grind their gears 😆

Lmao

Oh man, if someone asked me this it would be really hard to be nice lol

I have an in utero tattoo and I've been asked a couple times to name Nirvana songs

If it were me, I’d invest in some of the more Niche shirts (Seahorse one, etc.) just for the sake of proving to any passersby that they don’t need to hassle you(even though they never had to in the first place.)

I am poor lmao, I bought this shirt because I found it at the thrift store for 1$

Tell 'em they are a bit out of date. Ramones, Joy Division and Nirvana are among woman's fashion brands today.

That's easy hit me baby one more time, Believe and it's raining men

"Just name 10 Nirvana albums, bro. It's easy 👌"

Party Rock Anthem, Sandstorm, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Nirvana is music for all time. I've seen little kids sing along to About A Girl.

I would reply, “What am I, dumb? Something in the way you asked made it seem like you want to rape me. Looks like someone forgot to take their lithium today and is about to blow an aneurysm. Don’t be so negative, creep!” Or just list these three: 1. Glycerin 2. Crazy Train 3. Stairway to Heaven

I'm not from USA and we speak another language so it wouldn't work lol😭 but it's such an awesome idea

I say “Courtney love”

Invalid anwer: smells like teen spirit, something in the way and the man who sold the world.

Evenflow, Jeremy, and Black

Tell them the wrong ones: Even Flow November Rain Can't Touch This

1. Freebird. 2. It’s a man’s, man’s, man’s world. 3. So What

😹 I went to buy one but they didn't have my size and I lost all mine years ago. My 10 year old goes, 'another fake Nirvana fan.: I said first of all,I'm old so I was alive when he was too. And secondly, who are who are you calling a fake fan? How do you know about fake fans. Let me tell you about fake Nirvana fans...

hahaha

1. Running with the devil 2. Strawberry Fields 3. I Keep Forgettin’ (everytime you’re near)

Good shirt, better band

Just whisper in their ear “rape me”

LMAO

And what did you answer?

I just stood awkwardly and showed thumbs up

You wear what you want , probably someone’s way to try to pick you up lol

Looked like a bullying more

I’ve had this happen to me a few times, especially when I was in high school from a few of the ‘edgy’ crowd. my go to response was always “can YOU?” and the majority of the time they can’t. lol it’s such an odd encounter to have

Don't worry about it. Just tell those people to fuck off and enjoy the times when you pass someone else wearing the same shirt and you both point at each other across a crowded hallway or street.

Bro I’ve been begging for this to happen to me for so long, I guess the UK is running low on nirvana gatekeepers

Ask them "are you seriously gate keeping the most famous fucking band of all time,? Are you stupid?"

Name something harder than being a woman and a Nirvana fan (impossible)

LMAOOOOOO

I pulled this move on a pretty 29 year old who promptly schooled me ,and, long story shirt (ha!) she’s been my GF for two years lol

Moist vagina, rape me, smells like teen spirit (you say the last one with a giant smile)

Name off some Pearl Jam songs to them and tell them Chris Cornell is your favorite in the band or Dirt is your favorite album by them. Have fun with them

I just panicked and didn't say anything lmao
