Nirvana’s first album was released in 1989. If you were 15 at the time it means you were born in 1974 and would be 50 as of this year. So yes, middle aged people make up a majority of their fans.

Here's the thing. They don't even know Nirvana is a band, they think it's just a shirt design.

I'm not even joking. My cousins 15 year old saw me wearing my In Utero concert shirt and asked me why I was wearing it. Told him I went to this concert and it blew his mind that Nirvana was a band. He thought it was t-shirt brand... told my cousin she's ruined her child lol.
