The Nirvana Smiley Face T-Shirt: Grunge Icon

The Nirvana Smiley Face T-shirt, first appearing in 1991, has become synonymous with the grunge movement and its anti-establishment ethos. The design, featuring a smiley face with crossed-out eyes and a wry smile, was created by Kurt Cobain. It’s said to represent the disillusionment of a generation, encapsulating the spirit of the band’s breakthrough album “Nevermind.” This simple yet powerful image has endured as a cultural symbol of the ’90s and continues to be a favorite among fans.
