The internet is ripping Ivanka Trump for saying she went through a 'punk phase'

• Ivanka Trump claims that she had a "punk phase" in the '90s.
• The First Daughter says she listened to Nirvana and wore "corduroy jeans and flannel shirts," both of which are stereotypically grunge activities. 
• People are correcting her.
• Twitter users also do not believe she ever rebelled as a teen.
• There does not appear to be any major evidence of her alleged teenage rebellion.

It seems that everyone goes through a period of teenage rebellion — even Ivanka Trump, apparently. In her mom's new memoir, "Raising Trump," Ivanka penned a passage in which she shared that she went through a "punk phase" in the '90s.

"During my punk phase in the nineties, I was really into Nirvana. My wardrobe consisted of ripped corduroy jeans and flannel shirts," Ivanka wrote. 

However, the internet doesn't quite believe her.

In a different passage that we read on The Cut, Ivanka said that she cried for 24 hours after Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of her favorite "punk" band, committed suicide.

"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," she wrote.

People especially took issue with this, as Nirvana was a grunge band, not a punk band. Some even questioned the authenticity of Ivanka's claims, as it appears that she does not know the difference between grunge and punk.

Ivanka also says that she dyed her hair blue during this time in her life, which her mom was not thrilled about.

"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," she wrote.

Unfortunately, there is no photographic evidence of this botched dye job — or Ivanka's teenage rebellion in general. However, people on Twitter tried to imagine what it might have looked like.

There is, however, one photo of Ivanka from Marc Bouwer’s 1997 New York Fashion Week runway show that gives us a glimpse of what her angsty phase might have been like.

That said, the jury is still out as to whether or not Ivanka can name more than one Nirvana song.
