    I get it, but honest question… why wear a shirt for a band you hardly know?

      Mine are hand me downs from my older brother 🤷 also they’re comfy shirts with good designs

        Fair enough, though I would probably give you a light ribbing lol. If I see someone wearing a shirt for a band I love, I am definitely going to ask their favorite album because I actually want to know. I see them as conversation starters and it’s really exciting to me when I think I’ve found someone I have something in common with. It’s really hard to find people I relate to and it’s such a letdown when I realize I was wrong.

          That makes sense, I think it’s how you ask that counts. Sounds like you just wanna make friends and chat with folks :)

          My fav is a Nirvana shirt my brother passed down to me. I don’t know much of their music but there was a really good video essay I enjoyed on how Polly uses the perspective of someone committing a heinous act to get you to better empathize with the victim, so I’m a big fan of Polly now, its a cool piece of art. (Content warning, the song is about sexual abuse)

          Pretty much my only other exposure to Nirvana is from listening to Weird Al’s parody of smells like teen spirit and then going and comparing it to the original 😅 but the shirt is comfy and oversized, and the fabric is well worn and soft with a cool design :)
