I love the theory that we just want to ignore pop culture. literally my favorite graphic tee is this shirt I found thrifting with just a guy's face poorly photoshopped over a news anchor's body in black and white. it was from custom ink so apparently someone took the time out of their day to make this and then donate it but it is seriously so cool
Grail shirt from thrift has a bible scripture written about global warming on the back and how we’re all going to hell for it so funny the front has a globe on fire with global warming
there"s a local clothing brand i buy from that pretty much only does this. purposfuly badly photoshoped pop culture graphic tee's, and they're seriously one of the best brands i now off
as someone into punk music, graphic band tees are the bread and butter of my fits. buy them at gigs so they have memories attached, usually pretty cheap and the money goes directly to support the bands i love, and the prints are fiiiiiire, get complimented by fashion people who have never heard of the bands
I think a big part of why graphics aren’t as popular is because of the minimalism trend, and people trying overly hard to seem more “mature” in their own style as a result.
Also because people are lazy as fuck everyone nowadays just straight up rups off other established brands or takes generic fonts or names to make their brands.
@@thing8357 Before online shopping was a thing or easy it was much harder to purchase a t-shirt. You had to go to the store to get them. Not as many options as what was sold was in stock. Now you can customize a shirt and get it in a week or less.

WEAR ALL THE FUN GRAPHICS WHILE YOU CAN! one of the first things r/menswear warns everyone about - don't be in a rush to dress like an old man because eventually you'll hit the age where all the new fun looks will make your old ass look try-hard and now you're stuck dressing like an old man.
What kind of old man we talking. You got tweed suit and dress pants with dress shoes then you got your Hawaiian shirt shorts and socks with sandals, wife beater flip flops and shorts, or dress shirt/ polo with jeans and new balances. There’s so many old man looks to choose from.
feel like ppl r afraid to be corny so they just made everything aesthetically boring, minimal fits r clean and cool but graphics r still fun whzn they’re original and creative
"Lack of association to pop culture" is the key for a "good" graphic tee. Niche/obscure metal band merch is so good, designers are making bastardized versions of metal merch with fake black metal logos.
By wearing merch of bands you don't know or listen to, you are literally becoming the pop culture you're tryna ignore.

Hey Christian, I only started watching you a few days ago, and I'm already through like 30 videos. Your content is just so relatable, funny and surprisingly useful. Thank you for all the laughs and the good time. Keep it up!
I’m on board with the "good graphics can be sick" thing, but the issue is, such pieces are really hard to find. “Bad" graphic tees are literally everywhere, from HM to luxury brands. So few brands make "good" graphics tees
I usually find some of my favorite graphic tees from smaller Instagram people/'brands' trying to set foot into the scene. Married to the Mob NY has a Bitch Mob shirt I wear religiously, CleverFools has an Unlucky friday the 13th cream tee that i've worn multiple times over. Some I even layer over plain hoodies like a bboy because I get oversized tees so i can keep the graphic look while staying warm in the winter
I'm not entirely against graphics, i'm just against bad graphics (which is most stuff these days). I think streetwear graphics, especially since the 2016's has just become a dead horse. The way you describe it "childish dated section of fashion" literally hits the nail on the head. There is such a large saturation of graphic tee's and hoodies that streetwear and fashion in a way became dependant on it being cool, or became a substitute for kids/young adults thinking they could dress, even though all they did was put on a corny graphic tee. Not to mention streetwear brands posing as "designer brands" upselling their graphic tee's for hundreds of dollars and their content not consisting of any actual good design elements. Streetwear brands dependent on graphics are like soundcloud rappers, they survive on trends. The only good graphic clothing, is the clothing that has been circulating in fashion for years. - - OG designers like Jun Takahashi, Takahiro Miyashita, Raf Simons, Rick Owens maybe, people who understand what good design looks like, as well as most vintage clothing, band tee's etc.
@@RackSimons lmao, thanks for misinterpreting my comment, I'm not suggesting the only good graphics purely come from designers (as per your imaginary quote I guess), I am referring to when he talks about said designers at 3:19 In the video if you watched it. If you read the rest of my comment I also include that most good design also comes from vintage clothing as well as band tee's, etc. Man you people really have a hard on for hostility lmao. I don't even care about designer graphic clothing, I just listed designers that have had a good track record for creating good graphics, rather than the copy+paste garbage we get today. If you are smart and you want good graphic clothing you would realize designer graphic clothing are usually cash grabs and vintage wear is the where your money well be best spent. Go touch some grass angry kid.
"I'm kind of in my gatekeep gaslight girlboss era." Love that! And your editing! Like from the music to the actual video, just chef's kiss :D Take my sub!
I rock graphic tees almost everyday. I've been interested in band tees lately, like my ADTR and Children of Bodom shirts. I think the right graphic works better if you're going for a certain mood. One of my favourite fits right now is what I like to call "mallcore pop-punk from 2005", which has an oversized tee (graphic or no graphic), oversized denim shorts, black and white Air Jordan mids, ankle socks and a stainless steel detachable chain.
I always had a soft spot for my graphic clothing when I was teen. Had this deliciously simply white Marvel tee, with the iconic 60/70s versions of heroes in full colour. But the unique thing was that it draped around the side of the shirt. Simple. But it popped.
Wow so cool! I love Marvel too man! I can’t get enough of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I spend like 3 hours a day keeping up with all the Marvel TV shows lmao and every t-shirt I own is Marvel
I've rarely ever seen a "Good" graphic tee shirt that's affordable. I can see why people just go towards minimalism. Only TH-camrs are gonna send $50+ on 2 shirts. $50 can get you 20+ basic color shirts. Same with shoes. People are just gonna keep wearing Crocs, Vans or Converse because it's easy and doesn't break the bank. NORMAL people don't wear New Balance or Balenciaga because the shoes costs well over $100. People are just gonna keep things simple. Great video btw
I've been designing my own graphics and having them printed one off on tshirts for less than designers charge for their stuff. Literally no one else on the planet could possibly be wearing the same shirt as me.
I love minimalism and maximalism at the same time. you might not get how I can like both and enjoy both. So what i'm doing is Im minimal one day and maximal on other days. I just switch it up depending on my mood to enjoy diff asthetics... you don't have to sacrifice one taste and be boring. I believe this is the way you can be classy and cool anytime you want or need, and the best type of way to enjoy fashion
Two of my favorite graphic t's I got at Goodwill couple years ago. One is Bruce Lee and it says "Fear is for others." The second one is Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday from the movie Tombstone and it says "Forgive me if I don't shake hands." Unfortunately, I lost over 40 pounds post pandemic and they are beyond the oversize look and now just look stupid on me. But I love them. Totally sick.
"What makes it good?" Reminds me of my favorite hat, that is irreplaceable; I was attending RISD in the mid 90's and found a hat in the mud in the canal while I was painting construction based landscapes with "Welsley Crane Company" and a clip art (I assume) crane on it embroidered in red. I washed it about 50 times and got so many compliments on that hat. It was just some local crane company's hat that some guy lost in the canal while working but it was awesome.
I will always have a place in my heart for the funny/ironic graphics on t-shirts like “Straight Hustla” with like the Hulk that you get from your local goodwill or thrift store. I would easily rock a fit with one of those shirts if only I can find them.
This is a very good point and honestly the reason I've pretty much stopped wearing graphic tees, aside from my old, worn out band shirts that I got from concerts I went to back in my teens. Because sentimental value is basically the only kinda value we can get from graphics on clothes these days. What I wear otherwise is patterns. Be it houndstooth, plaid, tweed, random mix of colors in the weave, or regular stripes.
I work at a vintage clothing store and I can say firsthand that the best graphic tee’s are vintage. They just don’t make tee’s today like how they used to man.
Graphics are fun and help remind me to not take fashion too seriously. Shitty graphics are everywhere but hey, sometimes they look cool and tell a fun story
Needed this since my friends and I are trying to start up a brand and are starting off with graphic tees that we screen print ourselves. You know what's hot fasho bc this vid was heater 😎
The only issue is it's so hard to find an amazing graphic, fit and color all in one. I do like the somewhat recent focus there has been on the latter two, but hope we see this more in the graphic tee world too. Some regular/classic fits look great on a size or two up, though, that's always an amazing find too. Also, side note, can we get some more tie dye up in here? I'm not saying everyone should be a rainbow, maybe just a single dye or some very closely analogous ones, some bleach on dark. I like no pattern/graphic too, but I always feel like I gotta go crazy with accessories/color palette/texture/shape to get something cool going.
@@s-wo8781 Tie dye is pretty damn versatile, and retro game graphics are a very cool addition. I really recommend the Vans classic burst tee aquatic too, pretty easy to work with but it pops, for me it's still 50% off at 25 bucks on the main site. The possibilities get REALLY crazy when you learn to tie dye yourself, I might pick it up at some point. I'd be excited to try it on a Uniqlo Airism oversized tee, this makes finding cool fit and pattern combos so much easier. Also, Trippy Thoughts Tie Dye Tee (I have green) by Vans has a cool graphic on the back, which is nice to spruce up outfits that lack layering, comes in handy in the summer. Also got this one 50% off on the same shipment
Depends what you are willing to pay, the high end graphic tees that are vintage, designer, rare ect that look great and are not replaceable, are EXPENSIVE 100-200 $ range T's. But they look so good! sometimes you can find a grail on eBay or thrifting it's a lot of work though. I try my best
@@bootylicious3081 In my experience that's indeed more or less what it takes to get all 3 in one without DIY... If you do find something amazing from a more mainstream source, chances are a lot of people are gonna be wearing it. Unless you live in a small town like I do, where almost everyone just buys the first slightly too small shirt they see, brand logo if they wanna flex the money they spent
What i instantly thought about when you demonstrated the color palette at the beginning, is that these colours psychologically are associated with emptiness, alienation and meaninglessness, which is really fitting for modern society's state
i’ve noticed a lot of brands copy each other a lot on popular designs like 2017-19 everyone was putting roses on everything and there all doing it with daisies or skeletons now theres just no originality anymore
My hot take is I love graphic tees and it's basically what I base my whole look on. People who hate on graphics just suck at making fits with them. I'm also cheap and graphic tees range from $5-$20. Fight me. It will add wrinkles which I love.
vaporwave albums covers. Perfectly fit this trend like i dont give a f about what im wearing, plus aesthetics, plus culture code so you can meet fans of your favorite trippy stuff no one could listen to when high. win win. The only con is you must upscale and print them yourself. But hey, diy is the new gold.
8:30 You hit the nail on the head wow. Ive stopped wearing graphic tees because I just want something unrelated to pop culture for my style lol. The few graphic tees I still wear, I’ve no idea what they’re from and nobody who sees them does either 😂
Love how the algo just bombards me with these play-it-safe minimalist mens fashion channels. All of them basically preach risk-free looks, especially avoiding risks that concern the frail image of masculinity.
I feel like there’s a community of us who like punk music and old rock bands and also enjoy to search through different thrift stores and shop on overly priced websites and instagram actions In order to find the nice vintage wash tee that speaks to our inner nostalgia
And then there’s people who just by graphic tees to step up there overly basic street wear game by matching a factory made graphic tee that’s color silhouette matches their sneaker or trying to put together a quick summer fit with a color coated 5 inch inseam shorts and some dunks these people ruin graphic tees for real enthusiasts but at the end of the day if someone really likes vintage graphic tees they should wear them with pride and confidence because it makes them feel good and other people will sense the true intent for your fashion choice
The non-pop culture graphic tee wave is back from when it first appeared in the late 90's when everyone was running around in huge Jnco's and tight ass shirts that said things like "Jacob's Bar Mitzvah" on them. I like the current wave of deconstructed pop culture graphic tees that Methsyndicate, Fine Southern Gentlemen, Online Ceramics, etc. are making. Materials are much better too!
Can’t agree more with this, I mostly wear graphic tees, but when I tell someone that I want more, but can’t find any, they’re like “bro, you can get them everywhere,” but the fridge analogy is spot on😂. I stay digging in Grailed trying to find something decent, but when I do, I have so much fun wearing them
all of these are shockingly insightful and well ideated observations of fashion as an art movement, if you spoke more "upperclass white guy" sounding it would be taken with the highest of high fashion critiques, Virgil or any major designer could have hired you as a "second pair of eyes" to look over collection and display-show ideas to great results. "hitting the nail on the head" every single time
Fingernail 💀 the way bro presents his thoughts are so extra but are SOOO SPOT ON ‼️ never thought anyone was as detailed and specific as me lol. Whenever someone wants to dive deeper into their fashion sense or learn more about brands, I send them straight to this channel. Great job man!
i dont know if you will see this, but i love your videos and this one was really interesting from a person who basically watched this whole cycle play out firsthand: my first job out of college was at a small streetwear company that mainly sold to zumiez/tillys/spencer's. before i was hired as a graphic designer in 2019, 90% of their sales came from stickers and apparel that were unfunny logo rips or pop culture references. this was around the time when "streetwear" as we knew it back then (and as you mentioned in your video) was getting really popular. when i was hired, i moved the brand away from copyright/IP-heavy graphics and more into what you mentioned in your video-- focusing less on pop culture references and leaning more into what was trending in high fashion, (psychedelia, acid graphics, anime girls, etc.) we were really successful and transitioned mostly out of pop culture stuff early 2020 because of that. i got laid soon after. as far as im aware now, they still dont have a graphic designer and are still stuck in the loop of selling the same kind of stuff i designed for them 2 years ago-- rendering them untrendy and ugly bc they dont see whats actually trending in fashion right now. i take some pride in knowing that they suck without me informing their decisions
The whole point of graphics, for me, is about my favorite band tees, or a Japanese Gamera, Protector of Children tshirt. My favorite graphic clothes come from thrift stores mostly, surprise finds. Grailed Band Tees, *Chef's Kiss*
This video has put everything I’ve been thinking and wanted to say but could not find the words for. Was at the verge of selling some supreme box logo’s but then remembered why I bought them in the first place, nostalgia. Shift the focus away from corny social media trends.
Bro I’ve been using Pinterest lately to source all kinds of dope graphic shirts. Mostly are from *upcoming* brands nobody knows about and they HEAVILY remind me of the style like Cav Empt.
i love some graphic tees BUT you gotta know the difference between the that are ones are versatile and create a nice silhouette, and the ones that are fast fashion, corny, and have drakes face with a “90’s inspired” typa font
The great thing with having no grafics is that you can wear cheaper clothes from hm and other fast fashion brands without some corny live love laugh text over it
The last graphic shirt I bought was the Patta Panther Shirt in black and I love it. The print is so clean, the brand logo barely noticeable and no hard edges, it blends so good with the background.
I just don't care for graphics because whenever a cool trend or aesthetic emerges in graphic design, it's immediately co-opted by fast fashion and cheapened. With minimalist/thrifted/color blocked outfits, I get to express some creativity by composing the outfit and wear quality clothes without worrying that h&m will release some copy that makes my pieces corny in 6 months.
Love the video. Vintage t-shirt graphics are not self aware, as are most DIY graphics from the 20th century. Even the corporate graphics from pre-internet, beepers and landline phones times are not meant to feel post modern, they have that authenticity you just can’t fake. Most newer graphic designs are painfully self aware and ironic, they make my eyes roll out the back of head.
Farewell Division has some of my favorite graphics. Again, translating other media into clothing and interesting messages. If your into rock/indie/alt culture and want designs paying homage to the culture from 1960’s to current, it’s the one for you. Also, Feels So Good (formerly known as ‘Fine Southern Gentleman) have some really creative, fun, and well thought out designs. They do a lot for their community and the Texas music scene, and you can tell they are a part of the culture they are designing graphics for. There’s passion there and it shows.
The box logo type beat is all Tilly’s and Zumiez seem to sell now, prime reason i stopped shopping there after high school, their designs aren’t good enough to keep up with the times.
My best graphic tees were from some shop that was closing down (and the only pair of jeans that fit me perfectly, rip shop), I bought like 10 shirts, plus 2 fishing ones for my mom (one was a fish with a selfie stick that said "selfish") My favorite is a blue one with a yellow/white pic of a fake album art from a fake band that was way too long for me so I cropped it intentionally badly. It seems like a shit piece when I describe it, but people told me they like it so... Also it's an excuse to wear yellow facemasks lol, they go nice together
As a graphic designer, i am SO GLAD you addressed how oversaturated and lacking original thought mock vintage graphics of celebrities are. It piques the interest of someone scrolling through their for you page and leave no impression.
I think graphics tees had a very strong run for 5 years with the craze of vintage tees and thrifting. Not it’s time for a break, but kids who are 12-15 years old will bring the trend back in a few years
That's the problem with "fashion" now, they're trying hard to impress the audience. Dress for yourself not for someone! Look at people in Japan they don't care what people say or think about their fit. But people like it and imitate what they look!
Well they do because it's a culture that thrives on everyone being the same, hence why you can't even cut or dye your hair in school. This is why their alternative fashion is much more extreme and vibrant though, but all this photography u see of these things are usually only in certain cities and stuff and it's likely not how they dress every day.
@@naturalmystic1262 oh okay, no need to be rude. You ended your point with "they don't care what people say or think about their fit" which isn't actually entirely an accurate representation of the country so I was just adding on. It's not that serious.
Its not even the graphics themselves , i just hate that all my graphic tees look like cracked shit after a year. nowadays i like minimal Ts with focus on materials.
As a 35 year old male who is kinda jacked. What do I wear without looking ridiculous? I dont think I could pull off dressing like I am in my 20’s in some of these fits. But I also dont want to look to outdated like I am stuck in the 2000’s or 2010’s.
once you get rid of graphics in the mainstream it becomes all down to silhouettes which means that people will have to be much more creative with that however i think graphics are such a good way of expression and it’s like the heart and soul of not being boring asf hahahaha
I feel the same way as u since I find it so hard to find interesting graphic clothing on the Internet that matches my type! Most of the items r just words or boring or too simple to be called “GRAPHICS”!! Btw, I personally like the brand Market as their graphics r original, colourful and also meaningful!
i appreciate the adam sandler reference, in one of your old vids you were talking about how having a “uniform” is effective in personal fashion. I couldn’t agree more, and adam sandler is the poster-child of this enigma. man has been searching for the best oversize tee/basketball short combos his whole life
i got a bomber jacket as a gift two months ago, and the first thing i've heard from a stranger is "oh man, a bomber jacket ..its 2022, bomber jackets are like 2010" feels bad man
Title: “graphics are dead” More then half the video- “ here’s some really Cuul graphics”😂 Lol I have the FTP shirt that u put up, now I feel personally attacked😂
Lolol the women’s basketball vintage shirt you have is from a College in Mississippi called OleMiss. I’m from Mississippi and I love that you have that tee! 💜
I find it really difficult to find graphic t's that I actually like but i do enjoy them. They're a hard thing to make look good but they have the potential to add a ton to your outfit when done well.
@@crooked9210 just buy a cheap shirt and get something that can draw on it nice. Or you… cut a stencil into paper and spray over it. It’s kinda fun you can do whatever you want
There are so many good brands and creators who use graphics in their clothing, so it’s a shame that people do this! Like, just look at OMOCAT, Zombie Makeout Club, etc.
I've started creating my own personal designs and having them printed as one off tshirts. Obviously, it's not for everyone as it gets expensive, but I get a lot of compliments for originality. I've never been one to fit in... I was born to stand out. I was two votes away from being voted most unique in my senior yearbook during the only time of my life that I was trying to fit in.
I opened up a little online shop and been designing shirts and mugs, it's been a lot of fun and slowly started to make some sells. I'm hoping that there will be success in the future...❤
you gotta dress flashy and fun while you can cause if youre dressin like a beige old man youre stuck in it. sure, younger people can suit the more minimalist, blocked designs, older people kinda look very "fellow kids" when they wear stuff like graphic tees
I love graphics, but so many graphic tees in stores are uglyyyy. most of my graphic tees are anime/movie/music merch. I do have some graphic tees that are souvenir shirts from vacations, and some from an artist, but those were chosen carefully from the sea of ugly graphics haha
Lmaooooo yeeeees I been saying this 2017 was 5 years ago now, peak supreme is approaching nostalgia level, plain box logos are gonna be on trend again ironically over the next two years and unironically in the next 4.
I have lots of styles and I love graphic tees. one of my favorite themes is skull shirts, never gets old. I like punk clothes like the ones zillakami wears, bracelets, chokers. sometimes I wear vlone, sometimes skull shirts, sometimes NFL jerseys. I mix a lot of styles together and they always end up looking good. I don't get many compliments but when I do it's always about my hair and/or my clothes. I had a graphic vest that I barely wore so I decided wearing it over my coat and it looks awesome. it's not only about the right graphic and shit, try being creative with your wardrobe, you won't regret it

it's really weird bcs graphic t-shirt in Indonesia (and south-east asia overall) is thriving and we have a LOT of good local brand
My fave tee is this Rick and Morty tee and it’s a great example of a good graphic because the colors just synchronize and work together
@@Jayromann22 oh hell naw
I'm not entirely against graphics, i'm just against bad graphics (which is most stuff these days). I think streetwear graphics, especially since the 2016's has just become a dead horse. The way you describe it "childish dated section of fashion" literally hits the nail on the head. There is such a large saturation of graphic tee's and hoodies that streetwear and fashion in a way became dependant on it being cool, or became a substitute for kids/young adults thinking they could dress, even though all they did was put on a corny graphic tee. Not to mention streetwear brands posing as "designer brands" upselling their graphic tee's for hundreds of dollars and their content not consisting of any actual good design elements. Streetwear brands dependent on graphics are like soundcloud rappers, they survive on trends. The only good graphic clothing, is the clothing that has been circulating in fashion for years. - - OG designers like Jun Takahashi, Takahiro Miyashita, Raf Simons, Rick Owens maybe, people who understand what good design looks like, as well as most vintage clothing, band tee's etc.
Rick Owens doesn't do graphic clothing tho, does he?
@@deekay6474 he does a lil bit
this comment is so pretentious it hurts. "the only good graphics come from designer brands that the average person cant afford" pls get over yourself
this comment is so incredibly stupid
@@RackSimons lmao, thanks for misinterpreting my comment, I'm not suggesting the only good graphics purely come from designers (as per your imaginary quote I guess), I am referring to when he talks about said designers at 3:19 In the video if you watched it. If you read the rest of my comment I also include that most good design also comes from vintage clothing as well as band tee's, etc. Man you people really have a hard on for hostility lmao. I don't even care about designer graphic clothing, I just listed designers that have had a good track record for creating good graphics, rather than the copy+paste garbage we get today. If you are smart and you want good graphic clothing you would realize designer graphic clothing are usually cash grabs and vintage wear is the where your money well be best spent. Go touch some grass angry kid.
as a geek punk/metal, comics and anime enthusiast, graphic tees are never dead in my books
True, anime shirts always hit
here i am crawling back to my mother to ask her opinion on different shades of beige like we’re at home depot trying to repaint the house
😂
There is way too many great graphic tees out in the world for me to ever stop buying them
Yes this dude is not only totally out of touch.....he's just full of shit....another y tube hack...repeat hack!!!
"I'm kind of in my gatekeep gaslight girlboss era."
Love that! And your editing! Like from the music to the actual video, just chef's kiss :D Take my sub!
I rock graphic tees almost everyday. I've been interested in band tees lately, like my ADTR and Children of Bodom shirts. I think the right graphic works better if you're going for a certain mood. One of my favourite fits right now is what I like to call "mallcore pop-punk from 2005", which has an oversized tee (graphic or no graphic), oversized denim shorts, black and white Air Jordan mids, ankle socks and a stainless steel detachable chain.
A fellow ADTR fan, just bought the Last Chance To Dance shirt a couple days ago hahaha
@@harleycollins6627 omg i havent heard anyone talk about adtr since like warped tour, glad to see they still live on.
I always had a soft spot for my graphic clothing when I was teen.
Had this deliciously simply white Marvel tee, with the iconic 60/70s versions of heroes in full colour. But the unique thing was that it draped around the side of the shirt.
Simple. But it popped.
Wow so cool! I love Marvel too man! I can’t get enough of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I spend like 3 hours a day keeping up with all the Marvel TV shows lmao and every t-shirt I own is Marvel
I've rarely ever seen a "Good" graphic tee shirt that's affordable. I can see why people just go towards minimalism. Only TH-camrs are gonna send $50+ on 2 shirts. $50 can get you 20+ basic color shirts. Same with shoes. People are just gonna keep wearing Crocs, Vans or Converse because it's easy and doesn't break the bank. NORMAL people don't wear New Balance or Balenciaga because the shoes costs well over $100. People are just gonna keep things simple. Great video btw
I've been designing my own graphics and having them printed one off on tshirts for less than designers charge for their stuff. Literally no one else on the planet could possibly be wearing the same shirt as me.
@@BiLdoEMcLown Omg...... I forget you can make your own shit lololol
@@Ghettobronzze I've been using sticker mule. Shirts end up being like 20 bucks a piece with the option to buy more.
People definitely buy new balance nowadays. Balenciaga is definitely still for "chronically online"
"I'm just gonna be hater all video." and "I deserve to be snobby." That attitude is great, and got you a new sub. I very much enjoyed this. Thank you.
I love minimalism and maximalism at the same time. you might not get how I can like both and enjoy both. So what i'm doing is Im minimal one day and maximal on other days. I just switch it up depending on my mood to enjoy diff asthetics... you don't have to sacrifice one taste and be boring. I believe this is the way you can be classy and cool anytime you want or need, and the best type of way to enjoy fashion

Just malism then
@@chasetherightenergy :3
Embrace fashion extremism... I can dig it.
Two of my favorite graphic t's I got at Goodwill couple years ago. One is Bruce Lee and it says "Fear is for others." The second one is Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday from the movie Tombstone and it says "Forgive me if I don't shake hands." Unfortunately, I lost over 40 pounds post pandemic and they are beyond the oversize look and now just look stupid on me. But I love them. Totally sick.
"What makes it good?" Reminds me of my favorite hat, that is irreplaceable; I was attending RISD in the mid 90's and found a hat in the mud in the canal while I was painting construction based landscapes with "Welsley Crane Company" and a clip art (I assume) crane on it embroidered in red. I washed it about 50 times and got so many compliments on that hat. It was just some local crane company's hat that some guy lost in the canal while working but it was awesome.
I will always have a place in my heart for the funny/ironic graphics on t-shirts like “Straight Hustla” with like the Hulk that you get from your local goodwill or thrift store. I would easily rock a fit with one of those shirts if only I can find them.
Bro is literally dropping the most entertaining stuff on here first thing in the damn morning

I've gotten very into depop and grailed and curating my own niche fashion over the last year and your videos are exactly what i love
This is a very good point and honestly the reason I've pretty much stopped wearing graphic tees, aside from my old, worn out band shirts that I got from concerts I went to back in my teens. Because sentimental value is basically the only kinda value we can get from graphics on clothes these days. What I wear otherwise is patterns. Be it houndstooth, plaid, tweed, random mix of colors in the weave, or regular stripes.
I work at a vintage clothing store and I can say firsthand that the best graphic tee’s are vintage. They just don’t make tee’s today like how they used to man.
2:27 good music analogy
Graphics are fun and help remind me to not take fashion too seriously. Shitty graphics are everywhere but hey, sometimes they look cool and tell a fun story
hey gang
Needed this since my friends and I are trying to start up a brand and are starting off with graphic tees that we screen print ourselves. You know what's hot fasho bc this vid was heater 😎
yeah man!!!! please gimmie a link or a name to ur brand when you drop stuff
^
I'm trying to do the same thing dolo have fun and I hope you'll succeed fr maybe we'll cross paths inna future
I’ve been binging and rewatching your videos lately due to my break up and this is the happiest I’ve been in the past week thank you 🍫
The only issue is it's so hard to find an amazing graphic, fit and color all in one. I do like the somewhat recent focus there has been on the latter two, but hope we see this more in the graphic tee world too. Some regular/classic fits look great on a size or two up, though, that's always an amazing find too.
Also, side note, can we get some more tie dye up in here? I'm not saying everyone should be a rainbow, maybe just a single dye or some very closely analogous ones, some bleach on dark. I like no pattern/graphic too, but I always feel like I gotta go crazy with accessories/color palette/texture/shape to get something cool going.
I did find a decent tye dye Pac-Man shirt last year. I like to pair it with my jean jacket and bucket hat.
@@s-wo8781 Tie dye is pretty damn versatile, and retro game graphics are a very cool addition. I really recommend the Vans classic burst tee aquatic too, pretty easy to work with but it pops, for me it's still 50% off at 25 bucks on the main site.
The possibilities get REALLY crazy when you learn to tie dye yourself, I might pick it up at some point. I'd be excited to try it on a Uniqlo Airism oversized tee, this makes finding cool fit and pattern combos so much easier.
Also, Trippy Thoughts Tie Dye Tee (I have green) by Vans has a cool graphic on the back, which is nice to spruce up outfits that lack layering, comes in handy in the summer. Also got this one 50% off on the same shipment
Depends what you are willing to pay, the high end graphic tees that are vintage, designer, rare ect that look great and are not replaceable, are EXPENSIVE 100-200 $ range T's. But they look so good! sometimes you can find a grail on eBay or thrifting it's a lot of work though. I try my best
@@bootylicious3081 In my experience that's indeed more or less what it takes to get all 3 in one without DIY... If you do find something amazing from a more mainstream source, chances are a lot of people are gonna be wearing it.
Unless you live in a small town like I do, where almost everyone just buys the first slightly too small shirt they see, brand logo if they wanna flex the money they spent
@not a human Also helps if you've got some great stores near you or are familiar with a brand's strict fit formulas
"I'm kinda just pro-drama rn" is something we should put on a Tshirt. truly words to live by 😂
What i instantly thought about when you demonstrated the color palette at the beginning, is that these colours psychologically are associated with emptiness, alienation and meaninglessness, which is really fitting for modern society's state
i’ve noticed a lot of brands copy each other a lot on popular designs like 2017-19 everyone was putting roses on everything and there all doing it with daisies or skeletons now theres just no originality anymore
My hot take is I love graphic tees and it's basically what I base my whole look on. People who hate on graphics just suck at making fits with them. I'm also cheap and graphic tees range from $5-$20. Fight me. It will add wrinkles which I love.
And if you buy a graphic tee more than $20, good for you if you wanna spend a lot of your money on a 70.00 vintage tee. More power to you.
No 🧢
You got no style fight me

vaporwave albums covers. Perfectly fit this trend like i dont give a f about what im wearing, plus aesthetics, plus culture code so you can meet fans of your favorite trippy stuff no one could listen to when high. win win. The only con is you must upscale and print them yourself. But hey, diy is the new gold.
8:30 You hit the nail on the head wow. Ive stopped wearing graphic tees because I just want something unrelated to pop culture for my style lol. The few graphic tees I still wear, I’ve no idea what they’re from and nobody who sees them does either 😂
The way Christian says vetements makes me wanna cry
Love how the algo just bombards me with these play-it-safe minimalist mens fashion channels. All of them basically preach risk-free looks, especially avoiding risks that concern the frail image of masculinity.
Love ur vids bro, u where one of the ppl to get me into fashion
Bro. I love Curt and Adrian! I’ve been following them since Get into the Robot. All of y’all having hot anime takes? Instant subscribe
I feel like there’s a community of us who like punk music and old rock bands and also enjoy to search through different thrift stores and shop on overly priced websites and instagram actions In order to find the nice vintage wash tee that speaks to our inner nostalgia
And then there’s people who just by graphic tees to step up there overly basic street wear game by matching a factory made graphic tee that’s color silhouette matches their sneaker or trying to put together a quick summer fit with a color coated 5 inch inseam shorts and some dunks these people ruin graphic tees for real enthusiasts but at the end of the day if someone really likes vintage graphic tees they should wear them with pride and confidence because it makes them feel good and other people will sense the true intent for your fashion choice
The non-pop culture graphic tee wave is back from when it first appeared in the late 90's when everyone was running around in huge Jnco's and tight ass shirts that said things like "Jacob's Bar Mitzvah" on them.
I like the current wave of deconstructed pop culture graphic tees that Methsyndicate, Fine Southern Gentlemen, Online Ceramics, etc. are making. Materials are much better too!
throw braindead in there too. top tier graphic tees imo
Can’t agree more with this, I mostly wear graphic tees, but when I tell someone that I want more, but can’t find any, they’re like “bro, you can get them everywhere,” but the fridge analogy is spot on😂. I stay digging in Grailed trying to find something decent, but when I do, I have so much fun wearing them
all of these are shockingly insightful and well ideated observations of fashion as an art movement, if you spoke more "upperclass white guy" sounding it would be taken with the highest of high fashion critiques, Virgil or any major designer could have hired you as a "second pair of eyes" to look over collection and display-show ideas to great results.
"hitting the nail on the head" every single time
Fingernail 💀 the way bro presents his thoughts are so extra but are SOOO SPOT ON ‼️ never thought anyone was as detailed and specific as me lol. Whenever someone wants to dive deeper into their fashion sense or learn more about brands, I send them straight to this channel. Great job man!
Aged plastic is a totally vibe🤣
i dont know if you will see this, but i love your videos and this one was really interesting from a person who basically watched this whole cycle play out firsthand:
my first job out of college was at a small streetwear company that mainly sold to zumiez/tillys/spencer's. before i was hired as a graphic designer in 2019, 90% of their sales came from stickers and apparel that were unfunny logo rips or pop culture references. this was around the time when "streetwear" as we knew it back then (and as you mentioned in your video) was getting really popular. when i was hired, i moved the brand away from copyright/IP-heavy graphics and more into what you mentioned in your video-- focusing less on pop culture references and leaning more into what was trending in high fashion, (psychedelia, acid graphics, anime girls, etc.) we were really successful and transitioned mostly out of pop culture stuff early 2020 because of that. i got laid soon after. as far as im aware now, they still dont have a graphic designer and are still stuck in the loop of selling the same kind of stuff i designed for them 2 years ago-- rendering them untrendy and ugly bc they dont see whats actually trending in fashion right now. i take some pride in knowing that they suck without me informing their decisions
The whole point of graphics, for me, is about my favorite band tees, or a Japanese Gamera, Protector of Children tshirt.
My favorite graphic clothes come from thrift stores mostly, surprise finds. Grailed Band Tees, *Chef's Kiss*
This video has put everything I’ve been thinking and wanted to say but could not find the words for. Was at the verge of selling some supreme box logo’s but then remembered why I bought them in the first place, nostalgia. Shift the focus away from corny social media trends.
Bro I’ve been using Pinterest lately to source all kinds of dope graphic shirts. Mostly are from *upcoming* brands nobody knows about and they HEAVILY remind me of the style like Cav Empt.
The 3rd Impact videos have been fire. So damn funny between the three of ya'll.
i love some graphic tees BUT you gotta know the difference between the that are ones are versatile and create a nice silhouette, and the ones that are fast fashion, corny, and have drakes face with a “90’s inspired” typa font
dawg really posted at 5 : 15 in the morning, made my morning
The great thing with having no grafics is that you can wear cheaper clothes from hm and other fast fashion brands without some corny live love laugh text over it
The last graphic shirt I bought was the Patta Panther Shirt in black and I love it. The print is so clean, the brand logo barely noticeable and no hard edges, it blends so good with the background.
I just don't care for graphics because whenever a cool trend or aesthetic emerges in graphic design, it's immediately co-opted by fast fashion and cheapened. With minimalist/thrifted/color blocked outfits, I get to express some creativity by composing the outfit and wear quality clothes without worrying that h&m will release some copy that makes my pieces corny in 6 months.
Love the video. Vintage t-shirt graphics are not self aware, as are most DIY graphics from the 20th century. Even the corporate graphics from pre-internet, beepers and landline phones times are not meant to feel post modern, they have that authenticity you just can’t fake. Most newer graphic designs are painfully self aware and ironic, they make my eyes roll out the back of head.
Farewell Division has some of my favorite graphics. Again, translating other media into clothing and interesting messages. If your into rock/indie/alt culture and want designs paying homage to the culture from 1960’s to current, it’s the one for you. Also, Feels So Good (formerly known as ‘Fine Southern Gentleman) have some really creative, fun, and well thought out designs. They do a lot for their community and the Texas music scene, and you can tell they are a part of the culture they are designing graphics for. There’s passion there and it shows.
thanks for shouting these out. i’m checking out farewell division and their graphics are fire!
@@starylize aye, no problem! Glad you like them, they’re too under in my opinion.

I still see a few rappers wear it here and there but yeah
The box logo type beat is all Tilly’s and Zumiez seem to sell now, prime reason i stopped shopping there after high school, their designs aren’t good enough to keep up with the times.
My best graphic tees were from some shop that was closing down (and the only pair of jeans that fit me perfectly, rip shop), I bought like 10 shirts, plus 2 fishing ones for my mom (one was a fish with a selfie stick that said "selfish")
My favorite is a blue one with a yellow/white pic of a fake album art from a fake band that was way too long for me so I cropped it intentionally badly. It seems like a shit piece when I describe it, but people told me they like it so...
Also it's an excuse to wear yellow facemasks lol, they go nice together
As a graphic designer, i am SO GLAD you addressed how oversaturated and lacking original thought mock vintage graphics of celebrities are. It piques the interest of someone scrolling through their for you page and leave no impression.
I think graphics tees had a very strong run for 5 years with the craze of vintage tees and thrifting. Not it’s time for a break, but kids who are 12-15 years old will bring the trend back in a few years
sorry I’m not dressing in 12 shades of grey, beige and black so I can be more “mature”. Wtv that means. Miss me with that

That's the problem with "fashion" now, they're trying hard to impress the audience. Dress for yourself not for someone!
Look at people in Japan they don't care what people say or think about their fit. But people like it and imitate what they look!
Most people don't learn that until later on.. it's about how you want to look
Well they do because it's a culture that thrives on everyone being the same, hence why you can't even cut or dye your hair in school. This is why their alternative fashion is much more extreme and vibrant though, but all this photography u see of these things are usually only in certain cities and stuff and it's likely not how they dress every day.
@@StarryNightxx I'm talking about "fashion" in Japan, so I'm sure you know which cities I'm referring to 🙄
@@naturalmystic1262 oh okay, no need to be rude. You ended your point with "they don't care what people say or think about their fit" which isn't actually entirely an accurate representation of the country so I was just adding on. It's not that serious.

As a 35 year old male who is kinda jacked. What do I wear without looking ridiculous? I dont think I could pull off dressing like I am in my 20’s in some of these fits. But I also dont want to look to outdated like I am stuck in the 2000’s or 2010’s.
once you get rid of graphics in the mainstream it becomes all down to silhouettes which means that people will have to be much more creative with that however i think graphics are such a good way of expression and it’s like the heart and soul of not being boring asf hahahaha
finalllyyyyyyy brooo been waitjng for u to posttr
I feel the same way as u since I find it so hard to find interesting graphic clothing on the Internet that matches my type! Most of the items r just words or boring or too simple to be called “GRAPHICS”!! Btw, I personally like the brand Market as their graphics r original, colourful and also meaningful!
i appreciate the adam sandler reference, in one of your old vids you were talking about how having a “uniform” is effective in personal fashion. I couldn’t agree more, and adam sandler is the poster-child of this enigma. man has been searching for the best oversize tee/basketball short combos his whole life

Okay I feel like going on those design you own shirts websites and typing in the dumbest shit and wearing that.
I've started creating my own personal designs and having them printed as one off tshirts. Obviously, it's not for everyone as it gets expensive, but I get a lot of compliments for originality. I've never been one to fit in... I was born to stand out. I was two votes away from being voted most unique in my senior yearbook during the only time of my life that I was trying to fit in.
I opened up a little online shop and been designing shirts and mugs, it's been a lot of fun and slowly started to make some sells. I'm hoping that there will be success in the future...❤
you gotta dress flashy and fun while you can cause if youre dressin like a beige old man youre stuck in it. sure, younger people can suit the more minimalist, blocked designs, older people kinda look very "fellow kids" when they wear stuff like graphic tees
until the graphic tee kids become old and still rock them then it'll become subculture
I will forever and always wear graphic tee’s it’s just cool asf mixing it with the minimalist beige look is even better
I love graphics, but so many graphic tees in stores are uglyyyy. most of my graphic tees are anime/movie/music merch. I do have some graphic tees that are souvenir shirts from vacations, and some from an artist, but those were chosen carefully from the sea of ugly graphics haha
Lmaooooo yeeeees I been saying this 2017 was 5 years ago now, peak supreme is approaching nostalgia level, plain box logos are gonna be on trend again ironically over the next two years and unironically in the next 4.
VINTAGE has better graphic tees than anything streetwear has produced in YEARS
I have lots of styles and I love graphic tees. one of my favorite themes is skull shirts, never gets old. I like punk clothes like the ones zillakami wears, bracelets, chokers. sometimes I wear vlone, sometimes skull shirts, sometimes NFL jerseys. I mix a lot of styles together and they always end up looking good. I don't get many compliments but when I do it's always about my hair and/or my clothes. I had a graphic vest that I barely wore so I decided wearing it over my coat and it looks awesome. it's not only about the right graphic and shit, try being creative with your wardrobe, you won't regret it
