Wear whatever you want. Just know that I'll silently be judging you.
Hahaha
Literally
Me too lol
Also, know that you'll be a "target of faraway laughter..."
I don’t wear band shirts for fashion, I wear mine because I LIKE the band.
sadlykawaii ._ 1. True, I do the same 2. I love your profile picture!
Quirky :^/
Same🤘🤘🤘
Hell yeah!
Yeah man
That's what's cool about Slash, he's laid back, he doesn't care, he's not a hater.
Hater is a term teen Girls use...are you a teen girl sir?...no, no you are not
As Steele Griffin said, hater is the word we call people who point out our flaws rather than working on them
(Not a direct quote but yeah)
Man I love him
Yet hipsters still suck.
Lol yea. Because he's making money off of clueless people
I remember seeing a Guns N Roses interview of Slash back in the 80s and he was asked about fashion and his reply I think was "HA! FASHION? I wear whatever's laying around the hotel" XD
That's bullshit tho, he used to dress glam very early in his time lol
@@jossip22 yeah, it's not like he could've watched the interview on youtube
Yes it was heavy but not my favorite shout holds that spot and Vince sang his butt off
@@thechief8754 yeah literally his girlfriends clothes read his autobiography book
*Top ten biggest lies in the universe* #1. Kim Kardashian And Kendall Jenner being fans of metal bands.
ikr lmfao
Okay Dude I don’t get why people hate the Kardashian’s just for wearing a fucking t-shirt. It’s childish
@@maxwellwinter2114 kill the kardashians
@@thorstonwoodcrafts2652 im questioning do u listen to metal and tell that to gary holt or corey taylor
@@maxwellwinter2114 it's more about the fact that the kardashians are sellouts and the embodiment of a lot of things that are going wrong in our society right now. Fans of those bands just don't want to be connected to them in any way
I wore a Metallica shirt once and my teacher came up to me and asked if I knew what I was wearing. Of course I did and she was actually genuinely surprised I knew. It’s sad people just wear these for the looks and not cause they are genuine fans.
Artie Driscoll people can wear what they want. get over it. and you’re not exactly special because you like old music
Xander Barringer never implied I was special, just stating my opinion. We all have different opinions.
Same happened to me
Artie Driscoll same i was wearing a guns n roses beanie and the teacher asked me if i could tell him at least 3 songs from guns n roses and of course i did ...
You can say it’s (and i quote) “sad but true”
My son wears Anthrax, Slayer and Iron Maiden shirts all the time. Because I took him to those shows, and he was genuinely stoked to see all of them.
“Oh hey you like Nirvana, what’s your favorite song?”
“Umm.... Smells like teen spirit”
I have a friend that says he like G'NR and Nirvana but only knows one song
@@Metaltalk41 me too :( it’s sad
I mean you can be a huge fan of Nirvana and your favorite song can be smells like teen spirit.. Liking band's most popular songs doesnt mean you are fake fan
@@alisha2952 it doesn’t mean you’re a fake fan but it has big local energy, you’re most likely not a real fan
I’ve seen sooo many girls my age with nirvana shirts on (the exact one in that starter pack image) and I guarantee that would be the exact answer they give
Lol there’s a kid in my school who we’re a purple appetite for destruction shirt to match is purple broccoli top glasses and braces. I asked him to name a Guns song and he said thunderstruck
lol wow
AxlDC 🤣
Ouch. I one played we will rock you (by queen obviously, but covered by warrant) to my brother,14, and I go ' oh can you tell me who's covering it ' and he confidently replies 'No, but I can tell you the original is ac-dc'
I was genuinely shocked
Dad was just disappointed to realise he wasn't as good at parenting as he thought
Hahahahhahahaa
Lmfao
I'm 14 and I'm wearing GNR shirts, but I'm a GNR fan. I don't wear shirts from other bands 'cause I'm not a fan of 'em. You should only wear a bands shirt if you like the band not the shirt design!
Yeah same bro I’m a huge fan of both GNR and led zeppelin I rock both of their merch!
Same.
Very Kool 👍 real fans have no age requirements.
Tuff Eeftink
Quick maths👍🏻
I bought a Lordi's shirt once and people were asking me if im lordi's fan. But i didnt even know who they are. I just liked how shirt looks. So now i have to burn it? Or i can continue to wear it, siiir?
Well let’s be honest people who don’t know the bands and wearing their t shirts for eg-
Metallica, Nirvana, and Guns N Roses at a point this becomes cringy and disrespectful to us the metal and rock community
Personally I like metal but I prefer stuff like Rush, Kansas, Boston, Cream, The Clash, and Lynyrd Skynyrd but I will also listen to at stuff like Twisted Sister, Black Sabbath, Motörhead and Motley Crew
Agree. I work in education and I see tons of Nirvana shirts. They have no idea who Kurt cobain even was, how he died or his contribution to to rock and roll music
@@firefly44220 🤦♂️ The shame. People should wear music shirts out of passion, not fashion.
I agree with Slash. They might eventually become curious about the band and start listening to the music.
MinigunGaming I don’t think so. That was a polite response. Wish I could start posting videos of these losers. Not interested or don’t know? Don’t buy goddamn merch. Period.
i actually did tho. back in the day i used to wear the neighborhood shirts and decided to search their music up and ended up being a fan
Yes it's a possibility but when I asked someone who was wearing a Metallica shirt if they like metal and rock. They said no I hate it it's horrible. This is obviously one person's reaction but I think it sums up most people who wear them for fashion
That’s what happened with me. My friend was wearing a Guns N Roses shirt and I asked them about it because I have heard about the band but had never listen to their music. They said that they didn’t listen to their music that much and I got curious and starting listen to GNR. I really got into them and even got my friend with the shirt to get into them too.
They're not "hipsters"
They're posers, plain and simple
If you wear band shirts and only know one of their songs, that's a poser.
If you wear band shirts because you're an actual fan of them, you aren't.
Yup. Metal music is for music intellectuals. Piece of gilded spoiled garbag like the kardashians grew up out casting kids who listened to metal and treated them like the "uncool" group. Now they want to adopt it and try and make it theirs? Fuck that! Years of tears and devotion true fans have shown these artists and we've praised them like Gods. They have gotten us through our darkest times and kept us from becoming unraveled mentally. What this music means to true fans is beyond these posers comprehension. We wore these shirts with pride and respect. Those who don't should have it torn off their back in public. Young people wearing them because it reminds them of their parents growing up and want to delve into it authentically is ok in my books. But having zero respect for it and sporting it anyways nah. Kim Kardashian having the audacity putting her ugly mug over a band logo. What a cunt. Fuck that dumb husband of hers too. Goddamn ostrich brained puppet.
@@idk4529 Nah, Even though you only know one or three songs and wanted to wear bandshirt so bad, go for it buddy just keep on supporting the artist. The posers are the people like kardashians for me actually
@@Βενιαμίν-κ2ξ Yeah true.
YAYA yup. This is the generation I am stuck with. Sadly.
I saw a video of some girl wearing a Nirvana t shirt and this guy plays the song About A Girl and asks her who's song this is and she had no clue... I find it pathetic when people wear band shirts and don't know the band but I'd never tell them not to, I don't have the right, I just think less of them.
That my friend is a poser
i see alot of girls with Nirvana shirts just beacuse its cool , but if u ask them another song other than smells like teen spirit they wont know to tell you , I dont have the heart to wear a band shirt and dont even know nothing about them
Maybe lithium
most of these girl thing nirvana is a brand ...
I saw a girl wearing a nirvanna shirt and i asked what she thought about smells like teen spirit she said it was her favorite perfume smh
I knew someone who had a Nirvana shirt on and I casually said to the person ‘do you like them and then the answer was ‘oh I thought it was a brand. 🤦🏻♀️ And I thought for a whole second my body died. 😂
Wow.....
That seriously hurt my heart.
Slash is cool because he gives his opinion but he does it in a neutral way and he doesnt lash out on them
Couple years back i found GNR shirt in the internet shop and i was like "this shirt looks damn good but i cant buy that because i dont know the band..." so i listened and i am still listening and i think never gonna stop.. so my point was its not always a bad thing not knowing the band in your shirt but i know the feeling now why people hate that, because i do the same now :D
At least you put in the effort to learn the music. That's awesome!
In school I was bullied and treated like a poser for wearing rock shirts. I had 3 GN'R shirts and a Led Zeppelin shirt. They thought I was trying to be fashionable and I just eventually told them I loved their music and with regards to fashion I didn't wish to conform to their socially normal bs. I became a bit of an outsider because of that.
I'm 21 now and I own 5 GN'R shirts, 2 Zeppelin shirts, a Pink Floyd shirt, and a Hendrix shirt. Any time I wear them now I occasionally have someone nodding with approval at me.
I got complimented once by a kid behind the counter at KFC for wearing one of the Zeppelin shirts. He seemed unsure if I was a legit fan at first as he told me his favorite song was Stairway and asked my favorite to which I responded Going to California and he cracked this ear to ear grin and that understanding made up for all the years of torment I suffered as a kid.
But yeah man I'm totally on the same boat, I only wear those shirts because I love those bands and I find it disingenuous when I see these teenagers in the university area and the clubs wearing band shirts and they know nothing of these bands.
Girls wearing Nirvana shirts seem to be the worst case where I see them wearing it and they have heard Smells Like Teen Spirit and maybe Come As You Are and dub themselves fans of the band despite probably never listening to the full Bleach, Nevermind or In Utero albums and romanticizing Kurt's suicide or claiming it was an artistic statement. Makes me sick personally.
The Notorious N.R.T showed this comment to my parents bc they themselves make fun of me for it😂
Not to bring race into the talk but being black, listening to rock and wearing band tees your whole life basically I’ve gotten plenty of stares from people so yeah. When I was younger my classmates didn’t know what the bands were or would say stuff like “nah they scream too much or it’s white folks music” now everybody wears the shirts now.
@biscuit Bit too old for English class now
@@nickskrill2005 Same here and I'm hispanic
I am a 12 year old girl (yes I know) and I wear band shirts because I really listen to those bands! Tons of Heart shirts I got at concerts, Fleetwood Mac shirts, Pink Floyd. But I actually listen to those groups! I am huge fans of band shirts I wear, but according to a lot of social media, that when I wear a Nirvana shirt (I have a few) I am a "poser" even tho I love the band and could name probably almost all of their songs.
I wore guns n' roses shirt in school last week and EVERYONE asked me where did I get it,literally just one guy knew who they are,later that week one of those popular girls said she bought nirvana shirt I said do you know any songs,albums she said no I just started laughing and that one guy was actually angry bc she wore it and didn't know it,she listens to justin bieber btw
Wow. Man, to me it's just so disappointing for people to not even care about what the band is or even whether they like their songs, yet do it just because it looks cool
Even though I am pushing 40, I am glad I lived the golden era of GNR, and other bands.
I'm 41 years old and I've been a fan of GNR since I was 10 years old. I was working in retail a few years ago and Sweet child of was playing on our store radio and I was singing along with it and some teenage punk said something like you know who the fuck this band is or something like that and I started busting up laughing and telling this idiot punk listen here I've been listening to GNR for almost 30 fucking years so that shows what the fuck you know about good music from the legendary rock band from the 1980s and I don't think he liked that reply from me lol.
fuck
How do you even live without knowing sweet child o mine
Ur so lucky to see them when they were young I wish I was able to see them when the started but I saw them twice in Chicago and the best day of my life. I hate how there are not really any rock bands anymore only if I wasn’t 14
Carlos Alberto Velázquez Zúñiga I’m 15 and i wish every day I grew up in the 90s. Amazing players and bands like Buckethead and GNR getting noticed and guitar brands like Ernie Ball and Peavey getting more famous because Eddie Van Halen switched to them. Great times... God I want to live in the 90s. Except the clothing of course 😂😂
I’m 13 I wear GNR shirts and other band I’ll only wear it if I like the band and listen to there music
I mostly only wear band shirts only if I've bought them at the concert
Exactly!!!
snowflake
Word. Never would buy a band shirt at Hot Topic or any other trendy store
I like slash. He’s very soft spoken man
Personally I only wear the shirts if I dig the band, but, honestly, a lot of metal bands have awesome graphic design and so these kids aren't necessarily wearing them as "band" t-shirts but because they look cool aesthetically. I dont have a problem with that.
Whats it like to be an invertebrate?
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 Well, less miserable than being you, I suppose.
But that graphic design represents something...
Fashion wise idc, but using their image or legacy for business purposes is straight up disrespectful
That should be copyrighted tbh lol
i am 14 and i have only one band shirt and its from gnr but i really love gnr and I know everything about them so one time I saw another girl with a gnr tshirt and I asked her: oh are you a fan of gnr? and she said: Yes I really love them! and then I asked her what album is her fav and she just said: oh i like everything!! then i asked her if she likes slash cuz I love slash and she was like who tf is that
That is one big fat oof.
How dare she disrespect the mighty slash!
Don't assume you know what people listen to. Back in the 80s guy asked me why i wearing ACDC shirt I said what you mean why and I knew he meant because I was black he started questioning me about the band he quickly learned that I know more about AC DC then he did. So don't assume because the kids wearing a Guns and Roses shirt or Five Finger Death Punch or Nirvana shirt you know what kind of music they listen to. Plus t-shirts are great conversation starters I seen a shirt a person had on and say hey I like that band to and have had many great conversations about music because of it. That's the thing that you're Jenners were doing that's crappy to take your image and put it on there with somebody else image without their permission it is just cheesy that's a whole different deal.
I am 16, and definitely not a poser. I have 4 GNR shirts and a Johnny Cash shirt, I love music and different genres except rap or hip-pop.
Edit: Just got a Elvis mugshot shirt, before anyone asks, yes I do know who Elvis is I listen to his music and have watched a lot of his movies.
Im 16 and I hate rap and hip hop too
Same. I saw guns in London in 2017. Best thing ever
Who asked
Sean Smith I agree rap and hip hop is taking over our generation and is slowly killing rock and roll and the thing is the shows you see rap and hip hop artists put on today came from rock and roll but here’s the thing rock and roll did it better I don’t think you see the drummer spinning upside down in a cage like Motley Crue or the lead singer zip lining over the crowd to a secondary stage like Paul Stanley
The upside is all the shirts I was wearing at 14 are still available. Some day I can recreate my 89-91 wardrobe.
No posers!
The problem with this thinking is that it can target people who actually like the band and are being called posers because they can't name or don't like a particular song you ask them. Like for example, I like Led Zeppelin but can I sing the lyrics to stairway of heaven? No! But I can sing Going to California for the most part.
Especially as a black girl it's annoying when people come up to you and act like they're elite. Most people think you're a poser because you don't look a certain way or simply because you're black. I've had one girl in hs ask me my top 3 favorite song from Sleeping with Sirens and was shocked when I could name 3 that wasn't commercially popular at the time. Like, what gives away that I could possibly be a poser? Lmao. I don't really dress alternative for the most part anymore but I still listen to metal and rock.
I don't really care if someone wears a band shirt without knowing any of their music. Personally, I wear band shirts because I love the band 🤘
I had my appetite t-shirt a few on a few years ago and this guy came up to me and said "is that the t-shirt of their new album?!" I said "no this has sweet child, paradise city, jungle on" and he was like "oh right" very odd guy lol. I'd love to quiz a lot of people who have Maiden/Metallica/Stones t-shirts!
I have so many concert shirts and doubles not of only guns and each member by themselves but all the other concerts ive been to and its funny when I look at my first one it would fit a toddler , I was never over 100 Pounds, Then I get bummed add 30 to that and I go shit im getting old, Still have them all, Alot of people say dont you get dressed up or where a dress I say yeah to a wedding or funeral, I just perfer jeans and T shirts, I dont think about it I just grab what I have hung up and it just so happens I have over 150 Gun shirts lol
I met this girl wearing a Guns N’ Roses shirt (my favorite band) and I was like oh cool, what’s your favorite song from them.... she straight up said smells like teen spirit and I wanted to slap her so bad. NO ONE DISRESPECTS MY BOYS LIKE THIS 😭😭
Once i wore a van halen t shirt. A youth gave me a look like he owned the band. Maybe because i didnt wear ripped jeans and with crew cut haircut. I am in my late 40s would it be reasonable for me to wear ripped jeans? No. It would be like me trying so hard for my age. I last owned a ripped jeans maybe like 20 years ago. I listened to van halen since the 80s. Way before this kid was born. I dont judge young people wearing t shirts of bands from my generation. Regardless what their motives are. If their motives are music, then i'm glad they carry on the popularity of these bands and have great taste in music. No generation owned a band. Good music is ageless.
I wear band tees bc I respect them and bc I could literally name every song by any of them
"Life it seems to fade away, drifting farther everyday, getting lost within myself, nothing matters, no one else"
Fade to Black, Metallica. Nice.
guilty as charged, but damn it ain’t right, there’s someone else controlling me
To be as young as me and wear a rock or metal t shirt, people still question if I’m a fan and I fucking hate it , the shirt represents part of who I am and what I stand for. even if I am only 17!
I pretty much ONLY wear band t-shirts from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and to make sure I actually listen to the bands my teachers give me a quiz on the band and their songs. It's funny to see their faces when they realize I do listen to and love the band :)
I am a huge fan of 90's grunge rock ( Nirvana is my favorite) i actually checked them out from seeing someone wear a shirt. Now I own two CDS and a few shirts and i wear them confidently because i actually know their music! People wearing shirts for fashion isn't the problem it's the disrespect to the band/fans who actually admire the bands !
When i see someone wearing a band tee of a band i love, you know, i wanna ask and talk to them about it just for them to say the dont actually know the band. Those shirts are to support the band and find people that have same interests as you. Like when you see a band tee at a store that you like, you can buy it if youre gonna put some effort into actually researching and listening to them and hey they might become something you enjoy. I know it might not sound that deep but i just want to find people out there who actually listen to what theyre wearing!
There are also trendy kids with scarlet hair, ripped jeans, piercings etc. They would not have dared look like that in the 70s and 80s. They would have been filled in by the time they walked past the chip shop.
SOME young people today have way too many rules about band teeshirts. You can't wear a band's tee, just for fashion or because you like their logo or name. You can't wear a band's tee because you heard one of their hits on the radio and you really liked it. You can't wear the merch of the band that you're going to see in concert, even if it's a big music festival and you want to show your support for one of the 20 different bands at the concert. You can't buy a band's merch at the venue and then wear it during the concert, you have to buy it after the concert and carry it to your car. You can't even call it a concert. You have to call it a "show". You can't wear a band's merch if the band that your seeing is an offshoot of the band on your tee shirt. You can't wear a band tee from a totally different genre or style of music. You can't wear band tee from a very similar band or close competitor. You can't listen to music of the band that you're going to see on the way to the concert or "show".
Speaking as old time Rocker, who grew up in the 70s, wearing band tee shirts 24/7, here's my take on all of this: If you really want to call yourself a Rocker or a Metal Head or a music fan in general, then there are no fucking rules. Wear whatever the fuck you want to wear.
If you are following someone else's rules of what they consider to be acceptable, non-douchey, non-poser behavior or proper "show" etiquette, then you have already failed. Most new genres of music were created by not following the damn rules in the first place.
Them: OMGG I LOVE GUNS N ROSES!!
Me: oh really? Name on member apart from the man with the top hat and the curly hair
Them: uhhhhh slash!
Got a zz top and slash t shirts, and those are 2 my favourite artists.
I'm in 7th grade and there are so many kids that wear band t shirts. When I say "oh you like Guns and Roses too?" They are like who are they? That just really triggers me! I have loved rock ever since I could talk! If you don't like a band don't wear the shirt! Slash is so cool though.
@@SM-ht7qf hey bud, could you calm down with your salt? He's got a good point
Ifkr. I'm in high school and I see just a bunch of kids just wearing AC/DC shirts for style. I haven't exactly walked up to them and asked, but I'm pretty darn sure. These are hip hop kids. These posers really annoy me sometimes
Ryan Strandberg And annoying ass little kids like you aren't any better, shut the fuck up
Them saying that they like that kind of music is the biggest lie I’ve ever heard
I only wear band shirts of the bands I love and listen to like GNR or Skynyrd, Pink Floyd, ect.
I’m 16 and love rock and metal and nothing else.
Metallica will be my favorite band forever, along with zeppelin, def leppard, pink floyd, van halen, etc. (I could go on for days)
I have a ride the lightning shirt and a 2019 metallica hardwired tour shirt, along with a zeppelin shirt, and will get more sooner or later.
I’m also learning guitar
Now I know I will get the “yOuR nOt SpEcIaL fOr LiKiNg OlD mUsIc”, which you are correct. I am not.
I’m not trying to act special, but really I’m just saying, let’s not assume everybody my age is a poser... there are plenty of people my age that like rock/metal like me, which shows it’s really some of the best music there is.
But yes, there are posers. and It does make me feel disappointed to think I met someone with similar music interests, I don’t understand why people can’t wear there own musical interests, you know. But hey, whatever.
today someone wore the rainbow nirvana hoodie i said i liked it and that what their favorite song was they ignored me then i heard the rainbow nirvana hoodies have no clue if it's a band so my partner called the guy out as a poser
*clears throat*
Yells out window
_DONT WEAR FREAKING BAND SHIRTS IF YOU DONT KNOW THEM THO_
Btw I do love Slash I do some what agree but still LOL
i am 14 years old. i often wear band t-shirts such as Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. Not only could i name at least 15 songs with time to think if put on the spot but since I'm a drummer I could name the drummer of every band i wear a shirt of. I respect the band.
i wear band tees cuz i like the design but i only wear them if i am a huge fan of them
Tbh I'm 15 near 16 and I want a gnr shirt, but the problem is I feel as if I wear one adults are gonna judge me. My anxiety will be in the back of my head. Just trying to find one that's not trendy. Don't get me wrong ik the whole thing of "its 2019 people can wear what they want" but as a massive music fan whos a learning musician, I agree with James on this one. Bands work so hard and do so much. but yet my generation has the audacity to make fun of kids who actually listen to the bands . There's other t-shirts. Although I gotta respect Saul on that, I see his point. He truly seems great.
I proudly say that I wear my band t-shirts all the time. I came from the RnR era and it's part of who I am. My band t-shirts are mostly from gigs that I've attended in which I support those artists proudly. It's the generation of music where artists actually played their instruments and their music generally has some sort of message behind it. I have always worn 'attitude' shirts & I believe it's a great way of sharing your lurve in support of the artists who give so much to us & my way of 'giving back' to them by promoting their name & what their music stands for. I can also proudly say I have bred a son who is a 2nd generation rocker who also wears band shirts from time to time. I agree with Sharon Osborne in regards to telling the 'Jenner' type to stick to 'lipstick' to promote their names. What have they no new fake body parts left to flaunt for their income that they have to ride on the coat tails of real artists? Appalling they try to gain/keep their celebrity status by 'adding' to & changing musicians logos names etc. Isn't that sorta plageurism or bootlegging? I'll stick to my 'official' band merch cos I know it's them who are (& rightly so) profiting from the sales. It's about sharing the lurve not sharing the profits! I say Long live RNFR & all the merch that supports that! 🤘 Interesting topic indeed.🎶🎤🎸🥁🎻🎺🎹
There was this shop in Scarborough, England I went to that had amazing band memorabilia used to go when I went on holiday as a kid I dropped a shit ton of cash buying what I could my favorite band t-shirts and pendants. My mate stole one of my favorite shirts that had a skeleton on it with the phrase " You can take my motorcycle when you pry it from my cold dead hands " the rest of the shirts I bought were Guns n Roses and Metallica. If anybody from Scarborough could tell me the name of the store and if it's still open that would be awesome it was around 1993/94 the last time I was there so it might be closed down by now the woman that was working/owned the place was really cool and used to show me really cool merch I had no idea existed
"Ill give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands" - Charlton Heston
i just wear mine bc i love the band
Some old band shirts I own are from old warped tour concerts of opening bands that I liked and decided to support them 🤷🏻♀️
even tho i didn't listening to their songs it doesn't mean i didn't like the band
Keep the music alive!! A lot of these kids actually do Know the music and like it. They like it a lot. I hear all kinds of music coming out of my teenagers rooms. I just smile
I wear band shirts of bands I love
When we were young and went to a lot of gigs it was frowned upon to wear a gig shirt when you hadn't actually been to the concert. Wearing band shirts with no dates on the back, just a normal t-shirt with a band on the front, was beyond that even... an absolute NO! X
Wearing gig shirts I get because you weren’t there but who the hell catches crap for wearing a shirt of the band to the concert? Never encountered that before.
I have a ton of GNR shirts that I wear almost Daily! But I’ve listened to GNR since I was born and I even seen them in concert! To me I think they should have a slight back ground of what the bands are but if they wanna wear them... more power to them!
It's the same with Superhero shirts. I always asked myself if they have even had a look on a Comic store... I wear only shirts from bands from which I can comfortably say I know a few songs from start to end and know about the band history
I was at school and I saw a kid wearing a stones shirt, and I ask what her favorite song was, and she says that she just liked the design and had no clue who they are.
Disappointing
My teacher, who's in his 40's roughly, saw me wearing a Nirvana shirt once and he came up to me and said: "Nice t-shirt...do you know a bit about nirvana? What's your favourite song?" After I put him at ease by telling him that I love their older bleach stuff, and am infact not a poser, we actually had a nice conversation. So I guess that it's also a way for people to talk about music they like.
4:00 I have everyone of those T shirts except Bob Marley and The Ramones. It's ok because I Rock. Do keep in mind though that just because I Rock doesn't mean that I'm made of stone. I feel your fear, it's coming through like static on my heart radio.
I swear, in 2016 all the high school kids wore Nirvana T Shirts while they’ve only heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
I wear a bunch of band shirts because I listen to all the music that is represented by my shirts. People ask me about the bands all the time and I always surprise them when I know the bands 🤣🤣
Personally I never own any, not even at least one, band shirt..😅 But I still listen to my favorite bands and watch their concerts 🖤
The worst thing is that I wear a few band shirts and people call me a hype beast. I only wear band shirts of bands I actually listen too tho so it pisses me off a bit lol
It’s funny I HATE when people wear band shirts and they have no idea it’s a band or they don’t listen to the music. But the way I became a metal head was when I was shopping at a store and saw a Guns N Roses shirt, and I liked it but I thought omg their is a gun on the shirt so I can’t where it. But then my mom said “oh your dad would love that shirt” so I got it and after I got it I looked up Guns N Roses and fell in love with metal and rock.
Who cares? If they like the shirt they should buy it regardless if they know the band or not
one.love.arianator.moonlight I respect your opinion, but I disagree.
@@taylortot4747 it's not really an opinion it's a fact that people can wear band shirts and not be a fan of the band
one.love.arianator.moonlight yes they can, I’m not saying they can’t. I totally understand where you are coming from, I became a fan of metal because of me wearing a shirt I had no idea was a band. But as soon as I found out it was a band I started listening to it. So I understand where your coming from, I don’t like when people where shirts and they don’t know it’s a band or they know it’s a band but don’t listen to it. That is like me wearing a school uniform from a school I don’t go to. I personally don’t like it, but you can think whatever i am not stopping you.
I have a lot of band shirts in fact i started the trend of wearing them at my school however i know a ton about each band I have a shirt of and if the shirt features a record I own the record so...
I'm 16 and a huge crue fan. I love 80s hard rock bands. I have 14 band shirts
I have a confession to make. I have a Mudhoney shirt, and I wear it because Kurt Cobain wore it and I thought it looked cool. However, every other band shirt I have are Nirvana shirts, aka my favorite band. So I’ve only broken the “rules” once.
Still it's kinda sad when kids had to know Metallica from Kylie Jenner wearing one of their shirts.
I wore this shirt with like 5 rock band's printed on it and I didn't know a single one 🙃
Metal is a club. When I see someone wearing a metal shirt, I feel a bond to that person without even knowing them. It's like someone wearing sports Jersey of a team. if you love a team and see someone wearing the same team that you love, you have a bond with that person. same goes for metalheads.
Being old school as I am, to me it's borderline cultural appropriation for someone to wear something without knowing anything about it or what it means. The Punk, Metalhead, Goth, and Hardcore cultures are very distinctive in society, and if you aren't part of them yet you're wearing our gear, you're a poser and you WILL get called out for it. However, if you're not part of our culture and you want to learn about it, then ask politely and we will teach you. That's how to become one of us, learn about it and what it means, and if it resonates with you, join us. It's really that simple.
I like the doors and have a few shirts of them but slowly growing out because I'm 13
My dad showed me my first doors song (spanish caravan) when I was about 9 then a movie came out a year later with their song break on through to the other side which I enjoyed very and got into a very large love for their music
Iron Maiden styled with supreme is just........
Fr there is a girl in my school who had a ACDC jacket and u tried talking to her and she said I dont listen to the band I just got ot cuz it's all black so I made a deal and bought it off of her lol
Video voice over guy didn’t listen to Slash. Slash didn’t “criticize”. Slash is one of the most chill ppl in rock biz and gave a very open minded positive response.
I’m 13 i love old rock and roll recently on Friday night I went to see KISS put on an amazing show at the fiserv forum in Milwaukee it was a great show and I wear some of these band shirts I have a Rush, AC/DC,KISS, and Led Zeppelin shirt I love these bands and I miss a lot of them too I have over 60+ playlists on Spotify I made and it’s all classic rock I agree if you don’t know the band why wear the shirt but I want people to know that not all younger kids just wear band shirts for fashion I wear mine because I love those bands and I want to show that just cause those bands are older and I’m 13 doesn’t mean there music won’t live on rock and roll will survive no matter how many shitty rappers are out there rock and roll people rock and roll
I have tons of metal shirts I picked up in the 80s and 90s. Every shirt I have, I either bought music from said band, went to the concert, or both. That being said, I couldn't care less who wears what shirt from what band. Life's too short to worry about other peoples choices that don't affect me at all.
My girlfriend got me a pink Floyd dark side of the moon shirt , but it's not about the logo , it's bc I love pink Floyd and the songs , I love classic rock music , I'm 17 and I discovered classic rock music about six years ago , pink Floyd was my first then queen , and guns and roses and other rock groups , at first I didn't know a lot about them , but then the more I listen , the more I learned , I began to study more and more , and each day , I still learn
I don’t like when people do this I’m 13 and I love the bands I wear shirts for and people

This girl in my collage was wherein a death T-shirt someone asked her what’s your favourite album and she said I don’t listen to metal and apparently she got bullied so hard she threw the T-shirt away 😭😭😭😂
maybe she should actually listen to some death
AstroZombie maybe
I have an AC/DC shirt and a nirvana shirt and I wear them cause I’m A FAN OF THEM!
I never wore and still do not wear band (or any brand) T-shirts. Growing up in a churchianity family, the bands displayed on T shirts and played on MTV ("the devil's channel") were considered evil. But I have my own reasons for not wearing these types of shirts: I feel like a walking billboard sign. I am not interested in being a walking advertisement no matter how much I love the band. I was however influenced by the fashion sense of bands in the late 80s such as Guns N Roses, and I carry on that aesthetic (in a thrifted outfit sense) to this day.
I’m 14 and I wear band shirts of bands I like and know more than two songs I’m actually wearing my gnr one now
take us back 20 yrs or so,if ye wore a rock shirt all you,d get is get ye hair cut ye scruff,now its fashion,its dead annoying
I had a Led Zeppelin T-shirt. I wear it to show people that I listen to real music!!.
(Late comment) I love rock and rock is very inspirational for me I grew up listening to nirvana and Motley Crue and Metallica and blink 182 and even now I listen to new artists like mgk and Yungblud Jxdn and Kenny and Travis barker “in my opinion” I think it’ okay to wear rock bands merchandise and stuff like that for grunge asesthetic emo reasoning for any fashion way of support I respect it and I respect everyone but at the same time if your going to wear these things at least be brutally honest when someone confronts you about you listening to a band although it is disappointing that they don’t listen to these amazing artists but I still respect you more if your honest with me about a album or song...
I wear multiple obituary shirts because I’ve listened to their albums at least 100 times.
Lol I remember 2 kids having a tøp band shirt and not knowing what it was. I told them they should actually listen to the music because they’re really cool. I still don’t know if they listened to them. I just remembered being like “one of me!” And being like oh shit..
There was a girl in my school who had a GNR shirt and I told her what song was her favorite by then, and she looked at my like I was a alien
One time in college I complimented a friend of mine on his Ramones Shirt & asked about his Favourite Song by them? 🙂 His response was "Oh I didn't realise they were band I'm just wearing it because everybody is" 🤷♂️
Me: 😐
I think fashion wise it makes sense, in this day in age people talk about stuff they don't really know much about, having an opinion can make you be loved or hated. In that same way people wear things they don't support or don't really know about. I think is funny, but not against it. If anything this would be more of a complement. Those bands really left a mark in the world. I get happy when I see someone with an old band shirt.
In some other note, they should be careful cause it might seem like a stretch but symbols being misrepresented could lead to something else and it's as simple as flipping a swastika, you can go from spiritual to a nazi
