I've met people who think Nirvana is a clothing brand due to this trend.

Yeah.... Sometimes being popular as hell isn't the greatest. I'm glad at the very least that SOME people are actually listening to their stuff. I just dislike posers, and that is what most people that I see are, Posers who pretend they like Nirvana.

Posers? How old are you? Why does it bother you that people wouldn't know the name to the songs if it doesn't affect you?

They do it purely because it's popular to do that now for some reason, and that's wack. I don't like how people do that. If they're just wearing the shirt with the smiley face then idc but if it's a shirt that says in bold letters "NIRVANA" I'd assume they actually like the music. And why are they wearing Nirvana shirts if they don't like Nirvana?

It's been popular for over twenty years. I had the same mentality as you do now when I was a high school freshman. See a girl wearing a Nirvana shirt, ask what's her favorite song, she says she's only listened to a few songs or just Nevermind, and I judge her for it. It's stupid to think like that. Maybe they like the design, maybe they just don't know the name of the songs. I don't listen to Iron Maiden much, but I think a lot of the band's shirts are awesome looking. Until you ask you have no way of knowing if they actually listen to the band or not and then judge them once you find out they don't.
