This. Fuck those gatekeepers.
I love the LED Zeppelins, they’re such a nice design brand.
I thought that was a light bulb brand.
Or an illuminated aircraft brand.
I’m slightly annoyed, go on
Adult man here, I’m just happy my favorite band is still in the zeitgeist whatsoever.
from my friend who’s a stand-up
men will criticize women for not knowing the bands on their t-shirts but will wear floral patterns without being able to identify any of the flowers
Men will wear floral patterns?
Never heard of a Hawaiian shirt?
The ones with hibiscus all over them? I don’t wear them.
But you have heard of them <Jack_sparrow.jif>
My daughter wore a Motörhead body when she was 6 months old, and couldn’t name a single song of theirs. What a fucking poser
You: “Say mama, say dada.”
Her: “Overkill.”
🤘
“Lemmy Rules”
I work a lot of college events, and I see a lot of vintage band shirts, with Dark Side of the Moon the most common. I always ask if they heard the album, and they say Yes only about 20% of the time, so I tell them that their homework assignment is to go home and listen to it tonight, and that it will change their life.
One girl was wearing a Metallica shirt, and she very enthusiastically said she LOVED them, because her Dad always plays them in the car. I could tell it was a genuine loving connection she had with her Dad over Metallica. Truly beautiful.
And he’s mumblin’
And he’s screamin’
Cause he can’t name
What they’re singing!
Let him wear shirts,
They don’t wanna.
Even cool bands
Like Nirvana!
“Nirvana is just a state I’d like to achieve someday”
Oh I think you have some typos there.
Alternatively: I’m building my own state
I would accidently pack a slipknot shirt of my (rather big-boned) classmate after sport. My mother washed the clothes and would wear it in the garden as it would fit nobody else. I had no idea and never told her but seing her gardening even years after my graduation in a slipknot shirt was hilarious.
Easy. Ghosts 1, 2, 3 and 4
There’s some truth to the joke though - a while ago one of the fast fashion brands, I think it was H&M, created a line of fake bands just to put on t-shirts and other things. It’s pretty sad.
Then people’ll be : no one listens to the good old music any more (after shaming every newcomer away).
I appreciate the anti-gatekeeping sentiment here, but I can’t reconcile that with the judgment I think we’d have for someone wearing a Che Guevara shirt without knowing who he was.
It’s also ok to like a bands visual art even if you are not a fan of their musical art. Or I suppose the other way round too

Perfectly reasonable.
To be fair their gen x and millennial parents probably still buy most of their clothes. I buy my son band shirts and he’s college age. He’s got Dropkick Murphy’s, NOFX, RTM, Nirvana and Rancid. He’d recognize their songs but I don’t know if he knows the names of the songs
