Who's the girl on the left?

greenthumble · 2012-10-18T01:29:01+00:00

He’s the one

Who likes all our pretty songs

And he likes to sing along

And he likes to shoot his gun

But he knows not what it means

One is a 15 year old girl, one has been dead for 18 years. He had already been dead 3 years by the time she or people her age were born so this is just stupid.

Also they are both people who were likely depressed, and then killed themselves.

The girl wearing a Nirvana shirt and not knowing who he is, is unbeliably stupid though of course.

entent · 2012-10-18T00:51:41+00:00

That's what we used to call a poser.

gracefulzaz · 2012-10-18T02:35:23+00:00

To me it seems that being more concerned about a dead musician than teenage suicide is everything that is wrong with the world...

scrimsims · 2012-10-18T01:58:25+00:00

I would say people who post photos of people online to mock them are more of a symptom of "everything that's wrong with the world".

She's a fucking kid. Kid's are goofy at that age. She sure as fuck doesn't need to be mocked by thousands of strangers.

filthysize · 2012-10-18T02:29:20+00:00

That original picture is fucking asinine. I would applaud teenagers who know more about current social issues than 90s pop culture icons. They are not what's wrong with this world. Fuck yourself.

DingoScallion · 2012-10-17T23:41:52+00:00

I'm everything wrong with the world. I am Jack's sarcastic colon.

wahhagoogoo · 2012-10-18T01:32:03+00:00

To be honest I think The OP was stupider than the girls comment, how does not knowing what Kurt Cobain looks like make you "everything wrong with the wold"

Thelazychild · 2012-10-18T02:07:37+00:00

Who is the first one. I actually don't have any idea.

leash1991 · 2012-10-18T03:01:35+00:00

can someone please explain to me why so many people continue to put down or make a mockery of amanda todd? yes, shes in the news right now, how does that make you "something wrong with the world" if she is more recent and talked about that kurt?

I dont mean just this post,i mean how people make bleach jokes, call her names, joke about how they are happy she's dead and continue to make fun of her while this poor girl is dead because of bullying

gruntybreath · 2012-10-18T01:49:00+00:00

who gives a fuck?

The younger generation isn't gonna know all the stuff you know, and they're gonna care about shit you hate, and it's gonna be like that for all of us, ever, from now until the end of humanity. Get used to it, duder.

Zephyrianr · 2012-10-18T04:32:47+00:00

Not knowing who a dead musician is does not make one 'what's wrong with society'. Neither does knowing who an internet-famous girl is.

I'm all for judging people, but this is just stupid.

thebakerman · 2012-10-18T02:46:16+00:00

what a terrible facebook post though. People should be VERY aware of Amanda Todd's death, and I wouldn't expect people that were even her age to know who Kurt Cobain was..

kyerussell · 2012-10-18T00:24:52+00:00

Guys, not only does she not know who he is, but she still doesn't recognise the name after the other girl tells her.

Tagichatn · 2012-10-18T00:04:34+00:00

Who gives a shit what band members look like? I don't want to fuck them, I just want to listen to their music.

I have a Gap t-shirt, how come no-one gives me shit for not knowing who the CEO of Gap is?

bitwolfy · 2012-10-18T03:20:31+00:00

Who actually is the chick on the left? Anyone?

kewliomajor · 2012-10-18T01:16:56+00:00

There are plenty of bands in my library that I couldn't name you a single member or pick out a face from. Usually only see them when they perform at concerts and obviously nirvana has not performed in some time...

Xyncx · 2012-10-18T02:16:11+00:00

This thread is one giant circlejerk.

jacq_willow · 2012-10-18T00:48:34+00:00

I never wear an item of clothing if I don't know the reference of it. Needed a hat for work so I borrowed my brother's hat he got from Bali. I found out the meaning to "Jiggy Jig" the hard way. Makes me think twice now.

Lawd_of_Spoons · 2012-10-18T02:12:39+00:00

Maybe she's just a confused Buddhist?

WolfManJohn · 2012-10-18T01:16:46+00:00

I don't know the band members and what they look like for 90% of bands I like.

jumpiz · 2012-10-18T00:32:22+00:00

Let's just play devil's advocate in here:

Maybe she like to use the T-shirt because of the meaning of the word NIRVANA.

Per Wikipedia: NIRVANA is an ancient Sanskrit term used in Indian religions to describe the profound peace of mind that is acquired with moksha (liberation).

After all, it doesn't look like a name because it's all in caps...

I was still laughing thought...

ericishere · 2012-10-18T00:58:34+00:00

Are you fucking serious? Reposted within an hour.

ndchristie · 2012-10-18T02:00:32+00:00

first pic :

"If you've seen this week's biggest non-political story, but don't recognize a non-iconic photograph of a musician who died almost 20 years ago..."

I like Nirvana and had a bunch of posters of them when I was younger, but I still had to check the comments to know for sure. I would have flipped a coin between Kurt Cobain and a young Mitch Hedberg - who would have been equally relevant and much more recent.

second pic :

She should know his name by now, but there are plenty of bands I listen to where I couldn't name the lead, and barely a handful of bands I like where I could tell you the whole lineup.

mooncougar13 · 2012-10-18T02:09:59+00:00

She's probably just trolling.

rynownd · 2012-10-18T02:22:10+00:00

I think Kurt Cobain would prefer she not know what he looked like, but instead simply enjoyed the music Nirvana made. Let's hope she actually likes their music and, like many people here, just doesn't know/care what he looks like.

Nah... she's just a poser.

and_of_four · 2012-10-18T02:37:55+00:00

The one good thing about getting older is the growing sense of self-righteousness that develops as you look down on younger generations with disdain.

Damn kids, how dare they not know about the musicians of my generation!

One would think that she'd know who Kurt Cobain is if she's wearing a Nirvana shirt though.

ModernAlias · 2012-10-18T02:52:41+00:00

That's not fair. Knowing someone from current events, and not knowing a junkie from an old rock band doesn't mean anything bad about you. And I was 16 when they dropped those albums. Kids these days are being too hard on their own generation.

Greyletter · 2012-10-18T02:54:12+00:00

Because you can't appreciate a band without knowing what their lead singer looks like?

thewalkingfred · 2012-10-18T04:40:47+00:00

Why the fuck does anyone care? I listen to shit tons of music but I sure as hell couldn't tell you the names of every artist in each band and I especially couldn't pick them out just by pictures. I don't have to know who each and every member is to enjoy their music or think their album covers are cool. Fuck.

WompaONE · 2012-10-18T05:16:39+00:00

Killing yourself over being picked on just proves Darwin's theory right. Only the strongest survive, apparently someone was pretty weak...

CrashRiot · 2012-10-18T06:32:19+00:00

The caption is bullshit anyways. Amanda Todd was a young girl who had her entire life ahead of her and then made a poor decision and took it because she was taken advantage of by a grown ass pervert of a man. Kurt Cobain was a dude who had everything; money, wife and kid, but killed himself because he "he couldn't cope with the fame." Don't get me wrong, I love Nirvana and I think Cobain made some of the greatest contributions to music, but I can't stand this whole "tortured artist" reputation thing anymore. People put him on a pedestal that he has no business being on. If more people know about Amanda Todd than Kurt Cobain, then I think the world is headed in the right direction. I'll probably get down voted for this, but fuck it.

ID10T_er · 2012-10-18T01:36:27+00:00

I remember my sophmore year in high school this cheerleader came to school wearing a pink nirvana smiley face hoodie. My english teacher was trying to crack a joke and when she walked by he went "sniff hmm sure does smell like teen spirit." she goes huh? He explains to her "its the name of one of nirvana's more popular songs." she goes "oh I don't listen to them, just thought it was a cute shirt." half the class sat there with their jaw dropped while the other half (especially me and my football buddies) laughed our asses off.

RickBamf · 2012-10-18T01:12:31+00:00

I don't even know who the girl opposite Kurt is....

blastedt · 2012-10-18T01:58:59+00:00

One can listen to a band and not give a bloody fuck the name of the members. (Going out on a limb here and guessing this Cobain guy is a member of Nirvana. Context clues, bitches.)

Source: I know very few actors' and musicians' names.

virtualoutcast · 2012-10-18T01:16:18+00:00

I'm more surprised that someone seems to think Kurt Cobain is worth knowing about.

ImSofaKingWeToddit · 2012-10-18T01:32:20+00:00

She's just a big PHONEY!!!

speculiar · 2012-10-18T03:03:40+00:00

Mother of god, I have never felt older than I do at this moment.

I think she misspelled 'OR' as 'AND'

vladAKAdaddy · 2012-10-18T00:56:20+00:00
