What Does Your Band T-Shirt Say About You?
Band t-shirts, why do we buy them? Hyped up at a gig, we end up paying a small fortune for a t-shirt that will most likely wind up as our next pyjama top.
Some of us still wear them proudly, part of the band allegiance at festivals and gigs, wearing them when we go to every future gig as if to say ‘look, I saw you before, you can tell because I have a t-shirt with your name on it.’ But what do the t-shirts say about you?
My Chemical Romance, Green Day: You might have a sensible hair cut now, but this is a throwback to your days as an emo: your eyeliner, your sweeping fringe, your trousers so tight they cut off circulation to your thighs. You listened to them whilst updating your Myspace profile and dreaming of going to the black parade.
Rolling Stones, Ramones: You’re either too young to know who they really are and you got it in the Urban Outfitters sale, or you’re quite old and are either trying to relive your youth show off how cool you are with your original tee.
Run- D.M.C: You love hip hop but wouldn’t be seen dead in a Kanye West t-shirt.
Oasis, Blur, Verve: You didn’t really care back then, you just needed a new t-shirt, you don’t care that much now either, but everything else was in the wash.
Atomic Kitten, Britney Spears, Spice Girls: It’s been so long now that what was once cool is beginning to come back as retro. You probably got it as a present for your 10th birthday, and you definitely paired it with a choker necklace and cargo trousers because you were so sassy back then.
