Today, I saw a girl wearing a Nirvana shirt. Since Nirvana has been my favorite band for a long time, I tried striking up a conversation with her. Turns out she doesn't even listen to them, and only bought the shirt because she "liked the smiley face." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was waiting for my wife in a mall when some kids came and sat near me, wearing band t-shirts. I recognized some, as I was into The Smiths and Black Flag in my youth. I tried to strike up a music-fan chat with them. "Fuck off, grandad" and "Ew, pedo" is all I got in return. FML
Today, I was at the mall blasting music. I was wearing a nice shirt, and had my iPod in my breast pocket. I noticed a cute girl smiling at me, so I smiled back and as she started to walk over, I turned down my music while smiling. It looked like I was rubbing my nipple. FML
Today, I found out that the very good-looking woman who sings for one of my favorite bands is actually a guy. FML
Today, I was at the mall shoplifting when a girl who looked my age pointed to a shirt I had in my bag. "Stole that, huh?" she asked smiling. She looked pretty cool, so I nodded and asked if she stole the jeans she was wearing, which were from the same store. Turns out she didn't, she's the manager. FML
Today, I saw a girl with the same shirt as me. I excitedly pointed it out. She punched me in the face. I didn’t think people actually got mad about that. FML
Today, I told the cute girl in my office that she looked like she listened to country music, as an icebreaker. She blankly stared at me for what felt like forever, and responded with, "That's the worst thing you could say to a person," and walked away. She hasn't talked to me since. FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She went to try some clothes on and came out to ask for my opinion. "Hell no! That shirt is awful!" She wanted to show me the pants. The shirt was hers. FML
Today, I was punched in the face for wearing a Ramones shirt. The guy who punched me said he was tired of people wearing the shirt without knowing who they were. I've been a Ramones fan my whole life and am the only person I know who has worn the shirt. FML
Today, I was struggling through small-talk at a party where I knew nobody. Tattoos came up and I started talking about trendy, girly tattoos like feathers, anchors and infinity signs with stupid words in them. Turns out the girl I was talking to had all three. FML
Today, I sat next to an attractive punk-rock guy on a plane. I tried impressing him by playing music I thought he would like. I clicked on The Who and opened a large window with the album cover so he could see. The track then shuffled, and he was faced with a giant picture of Miley Cyrus. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you don't listen to the band, don't buy the ******* shirt. You become a poser.

How is this an fml?

29- Nirvana's music "speaks" to OP. I'm guessing it's saying "Get a spoon, a needle, and an 8-ball of heroin and have at it."

I bet he wasn't smiling.

Yes you can. Kurt Cobain was a talentless egotist, which makes it surprisingly easy to dislike them.

Wow Kurt Cobain the guy who killed himself because he didn't want to be famous... was an egotist? He may not be everyone's favorite or even the best singer guitar player in the world but he knew how to connect with people in his music.
YourDrunkle 4
Yeah, he really didn't want to be famous... That's why he ditched his underground label for a major label. Also he definitely didnt take a majority of Nirvanas earnings (90% if I remember correctly) because he thought he was the most important member.

I'm so glad that the sub-genre of grunge has left mainstream popularity. One of the worst ever...

I see so many ignorant people in the comments; 45, you're awesome.

Wow, that's society today. Kids would rather listen to low-grade, meaningless music. Such as, Ke$ha, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus... The list goes on. I would have punched her in the head.

Haha. Hey 70, no offense, but you look a lot like Ke$ha.

How do you not listen to nirvana!?! Even if you didnt own any albums, their songs come on the radio all the time, and they're awesome!

A cool smiley sounds like a good enough reason to buy a shirt.

That's why I buy Pink Floyd shirts.. I like rainbows :D
ThreeSheetsGone 12
I buy Pink Floyd shirts so I can hang them on the wall and stare at them after I drop acid. After the giant pig comes out, it gets pretty crazy. Note: I don't really drop acid, so this comment is based on an experience with a combination of mushrooms and marijuana. Ok anti-drug freaks, the floor is yours.

I buy Slipknot shirts because I like clowns, long noses and spikes. Not all in one though. Lol, I keed! I love Slipknot and Nirvana!

That's how I feel when I see someone wearing a "Misfits" T-shirt. I always wonder- Do they really listen to them or they just think the skull face is cool?
