8th Grader Suspended for Thinking Nirvana is a Clothing Brand

-This is clearly just a joke… but it’s a good one.

The official Twitter account of Yeshiva Har Torah, a Modern Orthodox elementary school in Queens, NY, has issued the following announcement:

“School Dress Code Update: Students cannot wear clothing with the name of any musician or band unless the student can name at least three of their songs.

-

“The 8th grader who said ‘I thought Nirvana was a clothing brand,’ last week has been suspended indefinitely.

“We recognize this incident has proven upsetting to some members of the Gen X community. We will be gathering to heal together. All are welcome to bring a flannel shirt, Dr. Martens, a yellow Discman with minimum 30 seconds of skip protection, and an all around dour demeanor.”

-It was the bit about the yellow Discman that really got me (you’re either the right age where that joke seems meaningful or you’re not), but this is just some good satire all-around. I mean, it doesn’t seem at all far-fetched that an eighth grader would assume Nirvana is a clothing brand. And, in a manner of speaking, well… it is now, isn’t it?

In semi-related news, Nirvana are currently being sued by the baby from the cover of Nevermind. That, unfortunately, is not satire.

Frances Bean admitted she cries every time she hears Dumb from Nirvana.

- - Frances says she didn't feel weird for not having that interest that teenagers showed to her father's music. “I would feel weirder if I had been his fan. I was 15 when I realized I couldn't escape him. Even when I was in a car and my radio was on, there was my father. He has reached beyond his death, our culture is obsessed with dead musicians. We love putting them on a pedestal. If Kurt had been another man who had abandoned his family in the worst possible way ... but it was not. He inspired people and put him on a pedestal, which made him "San Kurt." He got bigger even after his death, it didn't seem like he could become bigger, but it was. ” "He's larger than life and our culture is obsessed with dead musicians," Frances Bean added to Rolling Stone. "We love to put them on a pedestal. If Kurt had just been another guy who abandoned his family in the most awful way possible...  But he wasn't. I've inspired people to put h
