Well, my wife is wears me out so I wear headphones most of the time.
Saw a thing on Discovery - Top 10 ways to avoid a shark attckI've noticed that a lot of clothing seems to include gibberish sentences, non-sensical stuff, etc. It seems that, while there are those who wish to make a statement with their clothing, most people don't really care about the writing on their garments. Of course there's the old adage of "All these people running around with Che t-shirts... and I bet none of them even own a single album of his", but just recently I saw a pair of boxer shorts (actually, multiple, like a set of 5, I think) that said "BEWARE THE SHARK ATTACK". Regardless of the grammar, I wonder who the hell thought that was something that needed to go on a pair of underwear. I tend not to wear boxers when I engage sharks in hand to hand combat. Come to think about it, I don't engage sharks, and I'm pretty sure that those who do presumably have something more specialized for the operation.
I get if you got a band t-shirt and you don't happen to be a fan but you dig the logo/emblem. Of course the Metallica typeface or the Rolling Stones' tongue design have become fashion to a degree, but just random shirts with Chinenglish (?) lingual diarrhea? "Fort now. Must travel see." What?
I've refused to wear things because I don't agree with the text, but I have the feeling that I'm in a minority. Is this normal?
Excellent points. Yes, if a buddy had a band I would wear a shirt with its name. And you’re right, Fender, Nike, Manchester United, and the Rolling Stones are gonna make their money no matter what. Indeed, my gray shirts are a form of expression!Playing devil's advocate here; say your best buddy had a band and you really liked the music, saw potential in it, etc. Would you wear a t-shirt of theirs?
Obviously, Fender isn't going to sell more gear because of me, same for Marshall or the Rolling Stones. Yet I have no issue with showing my support for them. Clothing is a form of expression, too.
I would wear those because Lonnie Mack is cool.I like my Wham tees
That's awesome!
I won't advertise for Nike, but I don't mind doing it for Mastodon.I don't like any markings, brands, sigils, or slogans.
Pass me one of those grey shirts.
I wear all kinds of band T's and graphic/emblem T's. All of them are ones that would have been around in the 80's and all from something I love since my entire wardrobe is 80's style. The only one I have with a slogan/saying that I can remember is my Booger "High On Stress" T. It's an exact replica and completely relatable for myself. Plus I love Booger and the Nerds movies.
