Do you think that a person needs to be a fan of the band, or should people be able to wear whatever band tee that they want?
>>18614826everyone is a fan of Def Leppard, anon>tfw krysten will never pour some sugar on you
>>18614826I own a few and wear them to the gym. I dont know why you would ever buy a band shirt of a band you dont listen to. All mine were bought at concerts
>>18614872I'm not, the drumming sucks
>>18614886I haven't been to a concert in like 10 years. When it's like $85 minimum to see a band I used to like and saw for $35 that hasn't put out a new/good album in years it's like what's the point. Most of the people I like the most are dead anyway anf most bands have shitty merch or bad fan associations. Even if I like tool or megadeth I wouldn't be caught dead in a shirt of theirs. I remember glassjaw having the sickest merch but that's also because they started merchdirect and made a fuckton of money off of that and the guitarist was into ny streetwear.
>>18615028It's not that bad. In fact, it's totally 'armless.
>>18616778What has nine arms and sucks?
>>18614826Because pretending to like a band you know nothing about for status or clout makes you a fucking loser
>>18614826Why the fuck would you want to wear a t-shirt of a band you weren't a fan of? Your premise is itself retarded.
>>18614826I bet she doesn’t even like def leppard
>>18616932To hear Def Lep is to love them. And who hasn't heard one of their hits? Of course she does.
>>18614826If you're a fan of the band, you can wear their merch. If you're not, you're a poser, which is easy to detect. Simple as.
>>18614826she looks thinspo material
>>18615033I agree about Tool merch but nothing wrong with a Peace Sells shirt imo
>>18617262Are you telling us you're a wizard virgin guy? Ouch.
>>18617266I wish I was a virgin. I've learned the horrible truth that critics of incels refuse to admit, which is that having sex with women doesn't automatically give you a higher opinion of them. You read too much into my memes
>>18617271>higher opinion Who ever suggested that? Gives you a much more realistic opinion, you realize they're all whores.
There are some nice album covers to have on a shirt. But it makes me feel like a poser wearing them when I can't even name the songs on it aside from the big ones.
Definitely need to be somewhat familiar with the band. I remember asking someone wearing a wu tang jumper what his favourite song off 36 chambers was and admitted to never listening to them. Was a bit embarrassing
>>18617493You said>wizard virgin guy?>OuchYou would have to have a high opinion of women to shame virgin men. The implication is that they are missing at something incredibly important. Maybe in other times. In these times they aren't missing much. Sex doesn't mean peace of mind. Look at modern women. They have lots of sex, yet they drive themselves crazy over stupid shit on a daily basis
unless its obviously ironic wearing band merch from a band you don't know is really weird and i don't understand why some people defend it
>>18617880still weird if its ironic unc
>>18617999I bet you wear fake dm logos twink fag
>>18617271>having sex with women doesn't automatically give you a higher opinion of themnor yourselfwell, a bit, perhaps
Balenciaga makes cool band style tees that aren’t actually for bands
All shirts I own that aren't undershirts are band tees and longsleeves.I'm tall, thin, and have long black hair and a beard. I wear black skinny jeans or camo cargo shorts with Chuck Taylors or cheap black walmart nonslips if Im expecting to be walking or on my feet all day.For me the look comes with the territory, I've looked like this for the last 15 years, about half my life, and have been going to metal concerts just as long; no reason to suddenly stop now.I wouldn't recommend anybody willfully being a poser. Most people's Spotify playlists are public, you can see if they really listen to Nirvana or just picked up the shirt at wally world
>>18614826Yummy, I'm craving it momma
>>18619437What bands do you listen to?
>>18615033Listen to local music fag
>>18614886Maybe you just like the design
>>18614826Describe wearing a band tee of a band you dislike or don't know as the best thing ever.
>>18614826It's just weird to wear a shirt with a band you don't care about. It's like wearing a shirt that says "i like peppermints" when you don't actually like peppermints. Like, no one cares at the end of the day, but why? There's enough shit on tshirts out there. You can find a different cool t shirt, but you just had to wear the peppermint shirt and seethe when someone points out that you don't like peppermints.
>>18617271>having sex with women doesn't automatically give you a higher opinion of themNo one fucking says this lol>>18617696For someone who says they aren't a virgin, you sure do talk like one.
>>18623027you got btfo
>>18614826If this is the t-shirt, she's fun.
>>18621657gojira, mastodon, deftones etcLast band I saw live was killswitch engageLast concert I went to was Hololive virtual idol concert
>>18623452You do you, mate.
>>18614826Women steal band shirts from their boyfriends/hookups not because they heard the band.
>>18623452So you're a basic bitch then ?
>>18614826I'm 31, I don't care anymore, however I will judge people for advertising bands which have obviously sold their image for the fastest fashion imaginable, e.g. Nirvana, Iron Maiden >>18623440
>>18622378
>>18626695Find a small band that you like and explore the webstore for their label. When you find a tshirt you like, you look up the band just to make sure they aren't cringe idiots before you buy it.
>>18626938Bandcamp would work too, right?
I only wear band shirts (ocassonally) of musicians that I like enough to listen to regularly (even if I'm not a walking enciclopaedia ofthe band) and if I happen to find a design I like.Wearing merch of bands you don't listen to, whether it's ironically or for aesthitics, is retarded. But then again, I don't quiz strangers about their music knowledge.
>>18628796Wearing a band shirt is your way of saying to people "Hey, I enjoy this artist/media, enough that I will wear their merchandise" without having to outwardly say so. If you wear a shirt of a specific band for the "aesthetic" and know nothing about them or their music, don't be surprised when someone asks you about it and then get outed as a complete poser trying to be someone that they're not.I really hate band nerds who try to compete and jerk each other off based on how much obscure knowledge and trivia they know about a certain artist. That being said, you should still be familiar with most of an artist's discography if you're going to go out wearing their branding.
>>18629892“Is this enough to be a fan?” is something that I read recently.
>>18618384Why do faggots worship this guy? Hes a mediocre looking young man. Not ugly, but nothing special. Definitely not turning heads.
>>18622484
>>18614826People can wear what they want as long as they can handle people judging them and confronting them over their LARP.
>>18622484tumblr tier
>>18614826Let me put it this way. If I see you wearing the shirt of a band that I like, I WILL chase after you to talk to you. Sometimes people do the same to me, and it makes me very happy. But that really only happens for local bands, really big names, or at conventions.It's good to buy merch at shows because that's the only way the musicians make a buck.
>>18622484The most unc cringe tee next to The Strokes and Weezer.
Only shirt I wear in public am I cooked chat ?
>>18633089Why?
>>18631585cause Call Me By Your Name was the biggest gay film since Broke Back Mountain.
>>18633089>The Strokes>unc cringePls no, Im begging you
>>18633134Do you have a pony tail too?
>>18633374 Nope, balding with huge belly
>>18633154>>18633344Joy Division, Strokes, Weezer, Nirvana, Deftones, Sunbather, and Neutral Milk Hotel are peak unc.Basically anything post punk, folk, old “emo” or a lo-fi grunge is the epitome of unc-tier. It’s the shit you hear at bars that write their beer selection on chalk showing an ABV%
>>18633393it's so over for you
I had this in college and got compliments on it all the time because no one else had it. wore it till it fell apart and that was years ago. maybe I'll buy another one
>>18633832:(
>>18626695looks like A.I. slop
>>18635313It obviously is
>>18614826I can't believe this stupid thread has survived a month.
>>18633450Is "unc" just another term for "guys older than us stupid zoomers"? I'll take it over "boomer" I guess. But you people are usually wrong about everything. I'm surprised you didn't evoke "reddit" in your post.
>>18633880I had this but with reflective paint. cars would honk at me at night lol
>>18614826If it's a well known band, it's cringe. if it's obsure, it's based.
>>18615033>paying to see big bands from far away>not just going to local shows and seeing sick new bands from up close
>>18635591>not just going to local shows and seeing sick new bands from up closeI have zero interest in my local scene since it plays nothing close to what I like. Mostly metal, goth stuff, then country. I drive an hour to my nearest big city to see smaller bands who scrounged up enough to go on tour. Tickets are $25, but gas, tolls, and optional parking/booze more than double it sometimes. Still worth it to do all of that and buy a $30 shirt to support their band, sometimes I get to shoot the shit with them at the merch table or hangout for a bit in between them packing up their stuff or between sets if theyre an opener.Picrel is one of favorite bands and I surprisingly get compliments on the shirt I have of it despite it being drawn by some teen a decade ago
>>18633880Where’d you get it?
You need to like the band to wear the tee, any other opinion is wrong
>>18637575amazon about 15 years ago
>>18631585because their parents paid people to
>>18633450What about The Cure, The Smiths and Bauhaus?
>>18632580I laughed out loud at this image for some reason. it just seems so pathetic.
>>18633450kek Deftones shows are a sea of young women right now. yet another example of millennial chads swooping in to claim lonely genz gals
>>18635693Did you get the shirt at a concert or from somewhere like bandcamp?
>>18614826Not really sure why you'd advertise something without liking it. The only excuses imo are you saw a band as an opener, bought their merch but haven't gotten to listen to them yet. Or if it's a really neat design that stands alone from the band.
>>18617271Based lad.
>>18623027ironically incels have a club but sex havers don't, there is no "I lowered my standards and put my penis into a morbidly obese woman club", because the men who do that work harder to hide their shame than literal incels.

>>18635591My local music scene is a dead, bloated corpse compared to what it was. 12-15 years ago, there were a handful of decent local metal bands, but any more the only local bands that managed to hang on got bigger and stopped being local bands. The only way to see good shows is to drive at least 2 or 3 hours away.
>>18617271You're the kind of person who is never satisfied with anything and will always invent elaborate problems for yourself and call it a "trauma response" when in reality it's just you being a narcissistic fag. If you were an incel you'd be crying about being a virgin, probably even have a blackpill yootoob channel whining about it too.Please, spare the world from your freakish, contrarian behavior.
>>18635313The kind of person who whines about "AI Slop" is also the one who supports piss-bottle galleries and blank canvases in modern "Art" museums. https://www.stirworld.com/see-news-cassils-pissed-200-gallons-of-urine-tank-acquired-by-leslie-lohman-museum-of-art
>>18644222No, I don't think this is true.
>>18644236It is true. Go to modern "Art" museums and what is in there? Thousand gallon tanks of piss, upside down toilets, some gross dyke's menstrual blood mixed with piss and shit on a canvas, a gigantic fork sticking out of the ground, fugly statues of niggers and spics, etc. These are your "Superior" human creations? This shit is a mockery of art, beauty, and decency. For most anti-AI faggots their real issue is that being an "Arist" is no longer a little exclusive club for them and their gay butt-buddies. They hate that the average person can create something in the matter of seconds and they don't have to go through the butt-pirate brigade. And then you have the "It's stealing my art!!" bullshit. For starters, you don't own art styles. You don't own brushstrokes or color pallets or facial expressions or settings and scenarios. If you didn't want your "Art" to be "Stolen" you would lock it behind a pay-wall or make physical media.Secondly, I'd be 100% willing to bet we can go through each and every one of these artists profiles and find art that is completely derivative of someone else's work. How many west-slop r-34 is just copying off of derpixon's homework? How many art-hoe retards on yootoob.coom are literally 1-1 clones of each other? They LITERALLY use the same EXACT thumbnails, color pallets, use the same verbiage, manner of speaking down to cadence and tonality, wear the same clothing, etc. etc. And these are (supposedly) "Superior" because it's made by (retarded) hoomans? Instead of just letting people have fun and play around with generative AI tools, you act like a narcissistic, fascistic ghoul because you hate joy and amusement. It's literally just something fun for people to mess about with and you niggers will have a autistic basedjack meltdown over it lmao. Now, some caveats: do I think billion dollar companies should be using gen-AI to make art for video games? NO. Do I think people should be selling AI art? NO.
>>18633450Wrong. You're out of touch
>>18614826Yes, or else why are you wearing it? Just because it looks "cool" to you? That's like getting random Chinese characters tattooed on your arm without knowing that they mean 'dick' or 'cuck' in Chinese. Whatever you wear should mean something to you.
>>18638951OY M8 SCOMO IS PUNK ROCK
>>18641582Got it at one of their shows. I try to get ones that have the official band logo if possible since more often than not in my experience theyll instead have a plethora of random designs or for singles/albums/EPs that I don't care for.
I think the bigger issue we're avoiding here is that wearing screenprinted tees of any kind at all is kind of plebian to begin with.
>>18645155I mostly just get band merch from bandcamp these days but whenever I go to concerts, I still get them from there.
>>18633450So all the good bands? I'll be a proud unc then
>>18624601Thanks I will>>18625152it's not like Utsu-P or Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship are touring near me, I'll take what scraps of yesterdecade's summer metal festivals I can
just got this shirt what do you think
>>18631585He’s mentioned in the Epstein files.
>>18648592Who isn't?
>>18648592>>18648776Epstein was rich and hobnobbed with just about everyone from Noam Chomsky to Norway's princess. I really don't understand why people thinks it means anything. Like, not everyone who sent an email to Epstein is a pedophile, you know that, right?
>>18648781People also don't realize that, since he knew he was operating a big criminal enterprise he could both complicate investigation by involving huge numbers of influential outsiders as well as use evidence of someone visiting his island as potential blackmail material if he gets in trouble.
who actually gives a fuck? no one with real problems cares if you wear a band shirt and don't know the band
>>18617266>>18617271>guys who never fuck women>guys who fuck a lot of womenThere are two types of men who have a low opinion of women.
>>18623027no but they do say that all the the time, that's what the "you hate women, you must get no sex" defence is clearly implying
>>18626938>>18635590Judge this band logo
Are there any Canadians or Trailer Park Boys fans here?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLYNL5juSh0
Girls look great wearing band tees, I've always loved.
>>18644250shut up man
>>18614826You can wear them if you want to look like somebody who will work at a mall for the rest of their life.
>>18647525Well?
>>18623440>took my ex to see RHCP as her first concertstill miss her
>>18614826Wearing a shirt from a band you don't like is kinda cringe but on the other hand, it's a free country wear whatever you want.
>>18631585>Hes a mediocre looking young man.This is false.
>>18638951I do hope that I'm not bursting your bubble, but people grow old.
>>18644250Are you seriously claiming every modern museum has gallons of piss?
>>18647525
>>18633880>got compliments on it all the timeWow anon! That's a beautiful plain black t-shirt with purple writing on it, you look amazing.
>>18652697nah, they would usually say "hey, dude, nice shirt" or "hey, man, I love that album"
>>18633880What about this one ?
>>18657552I always liked this one. I used to see it in an ad in guitar world magazine in the 2000s and wish I had a credit card. no, mom wouldn't let me use hers
>>18644250spoken like someone who doesn't actually go to galleries and bases their opinion from internet articles. how pedestrian
>>18657729Galleries are for pompous dweebs and Jews.
>>18655695This guy looks older than he really is.
