At least the kid was listening to the music. I’ve lost count of the number of kids walking around in “Cure,” “Def Leppard,” “Poison,” etc. shirts who have NFC about the band. They just think the shirt looks cool. Which… of course it is, but look it up on YouTube or something, FFS!

A few years ago my daughter asked for a Sublime shirt. I jokingly told her to name three of their songs. She replies "It's a band?" 🤦

I’m genuinely curious how many have looked into the bands on their shirts. Most of the ones I’ve seen represent some genuinely good stuff.

They just think the shirt looks cool.

This was a normal way for people back in the 90s to be introduced to a band, too.

Perhaps nature is healing.

At least you can always tap their shirt to learn more though!
