Ivanka Trump Claims She Had A 'Punk' Phase, Was "Really Into Nirvana"

The president's top aide and daughter, Ivanka Trump, has revealed she once had a "punk" phase in her memoir Raising Trump. Ivanka dyed her hair blue and "cried for twenty-four hours" after Kurt Cobain committed suicide during her rebellious phase. 

In the excerpt from the book, Ivanka writes: "During my punk phase in the '90s, I was really into Nirvana. My wardrobe consisted of ripped corduroy jeans and flannel shirts. One day after school, I dyed my hair blue. Mom 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 color she picked out was actually three shades lighter than my natural color… and I have never looked back!"

She goes on to describe her distraught after Kurt Cobain killed himself, saying, ""It wasn’t too long after this that Kurt Cobain, the singer, songwriter and guitarist for Nirvana, committed suicide. It was a shock and I was distraught. Mom had no idea who Kurt Cobain was, and she sympathized only so much. After 24 hours of my crying inconsolably in my room, alone—major melodrama—Mom had to pull me out of there to go down to dinner." She was 12-years-old at the time of Cobain's death.

Despite being confused about the differences between "punk" and "Grunge," I doubt any of the political messages from their lyrics have rubbed off on her.
