wearing tshirts of bands you never saw [Archive]

Not many bands come through my area, and when they actually do, I normally don't have very much cash. So I order alot of my shirts and stuff. I don't really care what people wear.

Wow

12-13-2005, 02:28 PM

I don't care as long as they're not wearing it to be fashionable.

It bugs me more when kids buy shirts having never heard the band, or only knowing one or two songs. I mean at least they're supporting the band but still.

I buy shirts of bands that arent around anymore from the internet and i go to shows or make them to get tee-shirts of current bands

It is not that big of a deal since bands can't go through all areas where they have fans. Tell your friend to calm down.

It's stupid when people do it even if they don't like them/never heard them.

Shirts, hair, and pants I don't care about, but white belts and bandanas piss me off. I don't so much get pissed, but I just lose some respect I have for that person. I don't even see wear that whitebelt **** came from.

I see no problem with it as long as the people wearing it know and listen to the band. Why should one only be "credible" when he/she buys the shirt at a show of the band in question?

I've worn shirts of bands I've never seen. I look at buying band shirts as nothing more than supporting a group that you like. Besides, what about great bands that should be promoted after they broke up?

It's difficult to see someone getting upset over this.

I don't care if you never saw them, but personally I only buy shirts of bands at the show. It's the best way to support the band as theyd irectly get the cash for it.

^ Yeah, but once this whole macho hXc fad goes away, my local scene will die, because everyone here is a ****ing fashioncore kid.

Yeah, I try to buy from bands official sites if they have them, or from their Myspace's and stuff, but sometimes you have to go through their label or through dealers. Some money gets back to them though, so it's still better than not buying anything. I don't buy stuff second hand though, and I try not to buy stuff from real popular groups(sometimes I can't resist though), since the cash wouldn't mean as much to them.

This has nothing to do with scene kids, so keep it out of here. I'm implying that when my friend sees someone with a Judge shirt, he says "he shouldn't be wearing that, he never saw Judge."

whiteminority

12-13-2005, 02:56 PM

That is ****ing retarded, how many people have Black Flag shirts and I know that a shitload of them havn't seen them. I used to have a Bad Brains shirt but I never saw them because it was before me, so to say well you shouldn't wear a shirt because you havn't seem them is ill logical and completely stupid for the hardcore scene since alot of bands stick it out only a few years.

Well, I'm afraid that's way out of your friend's jurisdiction. Is it better than supporting a t-shirt company or factory that you've never seen?

young, loud, and andrew

12-13-2005, 03:05 PM

He's been into hardcore longer than all of you, so I guess it makes his opinion valid in the slightest bit. I don't agree with him at all though. He likes to be a jaded douche.

No he never saw Judge. I think he's been in since 98.

He made fun of someone for wearing a shirt of a band that the kid had never seen. It's not like he says those things and then goes off and wears a Judge tshirt.

I guarantee you that 95% of us haven't been into hardcore for over 7 years, but since you have, you can go sit in the corner with tornpictures.

I have no problem with people wearing shirts of bands they haven't seen, and I do it myself, but I don't see anything wrong with people who think that it's stupid.

ThePassionOfTheKasey

12-13-2005, 03:34 PM

Well the 3 band shirts I have happen to not being around anymore. But personally if someones wearing a shirt for a band they never saw that doesn't bother me. But when people wear say a Hendrix shirt but they only like 1 or 2 songs that pisses me off.
That is a retarded attitude. How can you not care about people wearing shirts that they've never seen, but get upset because you THINK you know more about the band, and THINK that they're only doing it for fashion? What makes you think that you're the only one who will actually listen to a band when they are introduced to you? **** you.
It's proving a point, it's not meant to be insulting. You said you lose all respect for people who wear bandanas and white belts, and yet your girlfriend wears a bandana.

No, I respect her, I just don't like her fashion tastes and all that type of crap. She didn't do any of that when I met her actually. It's kind of my fault really, because I got her to start listening to different music.

No, not really. Seeing as how I live in Bum****, Arizona there is hardly any shows around here. So all my band t-shirts I order from online. Of course, when I do manage to go to a show I always try and pick up a shirt.
I live in Tempe and there are tons of shows around here. I try to make one a week when I can afford it.

As to the thread topic, I own a few band's shirts I've never seen live...but I love their music anyways so why would it matter? Most the ones I own are from shows I saw though.

If it says STRAIGHTEDGE on it or has the whole XXX thing going on, it seems a little silly. I wouldn't wear it personally.

On the original topic though, I've pretty much stopped buying cd's, so I try and get merch or see the bands to support the ones I like. So basically all my tshirts are band ones. I'd rather get one live but it really dosn't matter either way to me.

cobert

12-15-2005, 08:28 PM

I dont mind if someone hasnt seen the band, but its ridiculous if they wear it if they dont like the band. I dont mind if someone wears an edge bands shirt, but if the shirt has all kinds of straight edge stuff on it, and the persons not sXe, its just silly.

The Great Decay

If I saw a straight edge band shirt, whom I liked, and it had straight edge symbolism on it it wouldn't stop me from purchasing it, much less wearing it.
