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.
Ivanka Trump said she had a “punk phase” so here’s proof pic.twitter.com/edkDhgtKbn
Ripped a fishnet stocking while getting out of the limo https://t.co/A6Vbn2jdcp
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
congrats you went to middle school https://t.co/jxTEWisk3n
“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.

If you hated hearing about Ivanka’s punk phase, just wait until you discover Eric’s goth period.

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
Punk wasn’t punk by 1979, let alone 1982 or 1988.
The bands these tards are citing as ‘punk’ aren’t “punk” either. Hardcore, thrash, and speed metal aren’t punk.
But the Seattle groups did have ties to ‘punk’ groups.
Meanwhile these same hacks will tell you yesterday’s Democrat politician is a ‘rock star’ ans defend why NWA, Chic, and Joan Baez are in the R&R HoF.
Commies hated rock and roll and later punk until the co-opted both.
I didn’t know that Nirvana fans dyed their hair blue, but I did know that Kurt Cobain had blew eyes.
I just want to say, I don’t know the differences among punk or grunge or new wave or hip hop or other such modern music.
Can we just say she went through a phase, without regard to the distinctions among grunge and punk and what not?
This is the “thanks” Ivanka gets for a life time spent palling around with her liberal pals in liberal circles, running with Soros beneficiaries of all their liberal politics and liberal causes, even oblivious to voter registration rules, to the point where she was unable to vote for her father in a presidential election?
So why even try to impress the Left with this kind of emoting about her proposed “bad side”?
Life lessons have surely begun for Ivanka, as her past circle of goons for socialism and abortion are totally exposed. Guilt by association is her consequence for having a father made president by conservatives and survivors of the Leftist tilt in the USA.
you rock kav!
In a Word ...No.
This “Outrage” will consume the Next
48 hrs. of the Nattering Nabobs
On tv and print!
I’m going on a Drunk.
Who would have thought that so many music critics not even old enough to remember Cobain’s face would know the difference between punk, born of 70’s garage bands and grunge born of Seattle punk, or any of the hardcore or softpunk breakoffs, or be so territorial on what either was called collectively on any coast at any particular time in the last 40 years? Pompous little asses.
I’m wondering what sort of solvent has to be used to wash your hair after that do.
you are soooo bad lol
Ha! I like it.
Wanting to "belong", no matter what nor how, nor why, is her downfall. At the ripe old age of 35 and the mother of three, she's still stuck in a strange Middle School stage, which is where most begin to figure things out, but because she didn't have to, back then, has to do that now!
I don't know much about Tiffany; however, from what little has been out there, about her, I doubt that she's any better.
The older two boys got the brains.
Sadly, poor Baron has had to grow up ( faced by the disgusting garbage that the MSM and other lefties have thrown at his father, mother, and himself ) at far too early an age. But at least he won't EVER trust/befriend a damned lefty for the rest of his life.
They seem to only know LA punk, which in my opinion is genuine but came later.
Would you look at the chompers on that dude, bet he glued on a set of fangs from time to time and the goth gurlz swooned.
Social D is awesome, I’ve got a vintage skelly flag that I fly instead of a pirate flag when I’m out on the OBX. Surprising how many actually know what it is, but they do know their flags out there.
