Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!
I report today from beyond the grave. I’ve been made quite dead by my tweenage daughter, who recently informed me the termequates to “people who wear Nirvana shirts.” I’d lived long enough for Carlton Banks’ ethos to be confused with Kurt Cobain’s.
As Trufelman says in her podcast, over time and subsequent generations, Ivy became less aspirational and more a sort of middle-class uniform in the U.S., one that “masked class to some degree so the bosses and employees dressed the same.” Today, Trufelman notes, terms likehardly need to be used as hallmarks of the look—so many of us dress in reference to it that some items are hardly noticeable as preppy. Chinos have become just … clothes. Oxford button-downs are just dress shirts.
It can be horrifying, or at least incongruous, to see symbols of grunge bands like Nirvana, which might once have been associated with a sort of dropout or anti-capitalist ethos, being sold on every fast-fashion platform. Petrzela comforted me : “The notion of selling out doesn’t exist for these kids in the way that we used to think of it. If Nirvana or Pearl Jam had done a soap commercial, for instance, fans in the ’90s would have been undone.
