Twitter was extremely skeptical of Ivanka’s “punk phase”, with many people pointing out that Nirvana was a grunge band.
US President Donald Trump’s oldest daughter Ivanka revealed she went through a “punk phase” as a teenager, but Twitter wasn’t buying it. In a chapter from her mother Ivana Trump’s new memoir titled “Raising Trump,” Ivanka writes that she had a punk phase in the nineties during which she dyed her hair blue and was a diehard fan of the iconic grunge band Nirvana and its legendary frontman Kurt Cobain.
“During my punk phase in the nineties, I was really into Nirvana,” White House adviser Ivanka wrote. “My wardrobe consisted of ripped corduroy jeans and flannel shirts. One day after school, I dyed my hair blue. Mum wasn’t a fan of this decision. She took one look at me and immediately went out to the nearest drugstore to buy a $10 box of Nice ‘n Easy.
“That night, she forced me to dye my hair back to blond. The colour she picked out was actually three shades lighter than my natural colour… and I have never looked back.”
She also added that she was devastated when Cobain committed suicide in 1994 and cried for 24 hours.
Ivanka, who was 12 at the time of his death, wrote: “”It was a shock and I was distraught. Mum had no idea who Kurt Cobain was, and she sympathised only so much”. After twenty-four hours of my crying inconsolably in my room, alone – major melodrama – mum had to pull me out of there to go down to dinner.”
Twitter, on the other hand, was skeptical of Ivanka’s “punk phase”, with many people pointing out that Nirvana was a grunge band and listening to them does not constitute as going through a punk phase.
Others tried to imagine what she may have looked like during her punk phase.
“The only thing Ivanka Trump was less committed to than her ‘punk phase’ was her feminism phase,” one person tweeted. Another wrote: “Ivanka saying she had a punk phase bc she was into Nirvana is like Taylor Swift saying she had a goth phase bc she was into Avril Lavigne.”
“Stop saying Ivanka isn’t punk. One time in 1996 she ate her salad with an oyster fork,” one person chimed.
“Her punk phase involved heavy eyeliner, ‘Complicated’ by Avril Lavigne & trying to ride a skateboard once while being trailed by chauffeur,” another said.

It’s 1992. Ivanka Trump puts on a pair of $200 ripped up jeans & presses play on “Nevermind.” I am a rebel, she thinks. A punk.
Listens to “Pieces of Me” once https://t.co/4OhsbDuiKR
Sorry, Ivanka, but Nirvana were grunge. The Exploited, Misfits & Black Flag were punk bands. Nice try, though. Punk phase my arse. #nope pic.twitter.com/47A4QI4cKy
Ivanka Trump called Nirvana punk and now she literally can go to hell
Ivanka is every poser who had Nirvana stickers on her notebooks & wore designer flannel that I sold dime bags of oregano to in the early 90s

She went all in for her “fraud phase” though.
Ivanka Trump claims she had a “punk phase.†It was the day she made the servants buy her a slightly darker shade of eyeliner.

Glad to see Ivanka accidentally walking into a Hot Topic once counts as news now. https://t.co/n5G3b7ILin
Ivanka Trump’s alleged punk phase consisted of listening to Sk8er Boi and relating to the girl who said see you later boy

“I once listened to Dookie while taking a spin class at the Racquet and Tennis Club.” https://t.co/U687fYHTbi
I CAN’T WAIT for the Ivanka Trump punk memes to begin! pic.twitter.com/ceL34Uum5D
Oh, sweetheart… if you refer to it as a ‘phase’, trust me, you were NEVER punk.
Lol…@IvankaTrump’s “punk phase†was downloading a Blink 182 song when she was mad at daddy for not getting her a Beamer for her sweet 16.
I am sure. Ripping a hole in that 3K pair of jeans and placing a golden safety pin through it was rebellious.

Ivanka Trump: I had a “punk phaseâ€, dyed my hair blue and listened to Nirvana
1. You were never punk rock 2. Your husband is going to jail 3. Your dad is a dark stain on humanity
P.S. Stop disturbing Kurt Cobain’s slumber
Liberals are stuck in their punk phase.
most liberals have never grown up past the age of 12 mentally.
Phases are a normal part of healthy development.
Liberals are not well people.
She’s too young for punk really, but Nirvana was a punk band, as far and it goes.
Grunge is a made up media term.
Lol... they’re just jealous because she would rock their world no matter what style she mimicked.

The Trumps are REAL people you see, so that makes it okay.
If anyone could pull off blue hair, it would be Ivanka..
Opps, I meant to say mockingly, “The Trumps AREN’T real people you see, so that makes it okay.”
I consider Grunge to be an offshoot of Punk music. I’m 57 and still blast Social Distortion and Nirvana as well as the Sex Pistols and early Costello.
They are just jealous she said no to dance with her to “Good Bye to You”, especially looking that good back in the day, every young lad’s dream...
That could be some kind of model gig. A guy has DKNY on his shirt
