nirvana people
 

funny thing happened to me today. i was wearing a nirvana shirt and this emo person comes up to me. *speaksinfakebritishaccent* 'ooh i like you shirt. i love nirvanar'

i just walked away. and then i called her emo!!! grahahahahahaaerrrrrr

not that you care though........

Yes, I once went to a festival and a goth chick from my school started hitting on me.
I told her to buzz of cause she's really annoying, the next day she added me on MSN.

yeah people who come up to you if your wearing a nirvana shirt are annoying. however if someone commented on my sy shirt that would be different!

It's the reason why I threw my Nirvana sweater away.
It's retarded.

same thing happened to me a while ago. she wasnt anoying. but i dont know if shes goth or something. shes got a lot of nirvana shirts so i dont know if shes a real fan or just a stupid scene kid.

Man, if a young girl started hitting on me coz of my band T-shirts, I sure wouldn't call her names or let her walk away. Of course, my wife might have something to say bout that.

& I own a Nirvana T, by the way, along with the following: Confusion is Sex, Beastie Boys, Alice in Chains (Facelift tour T), Joy Division (Love will tear us apart), and one with sort of a line drawing of a Marshall amp. A lame collection, I know, but probably better than what most of the dads in my neighborhood wear!

I wore my Goo shirt when I was in a bigger town, and three people who I did not know commented it. I chatted with each of them. That's kinda awsome.

I've found that band T's are good ice breakers. Even when people (most my age, for ex) don't know the band, it can get you started in conversations about music.

Yeah, that's true. They are fine ice-breakers indeed, my Ramones shirt also helps my to break the ice. "Oh, you like the Ramones?"

One time I was camping, and I went into this little tiny store out in the middle of nowhere to pick up some food and stuff and the girl behind the counter commented on my Confusion is Sex shirt. I made her my wife...


not really...

I need a Ramones shirt. That'll be my next Hot Topic purchase. Yes, I am the 50-year-old dude trying to squeeze by the teeny boppers in that little mall chain store. I hate the place (asked for a Sonic Youth T, and the clerk looked at me blankly: "Sonic Youth? We don't get much call for that band here.") But it's the only place around here for halfway decent band Ts.

teshirts are great icebreakers. not a day goes by when i wear my fall shirt that someone doent come up and asks me where i got it, chat to me and become friends. one guy actually started trading cdrs and bootlegs with me the very next day!
stereolab shirts are also good chick pullers (not that im into that anymore, married man and all that)
and i have to say sonic youth shirts add a bit of stranger intrest as well.
i was wearing a godspeed you black emporer one (the lift yr skinny fists one) at a gig and this really hot goth chick came up to me and asked me was i in a religious cult or something, she seemed dissappointed when i responed "fucking hell, are you joking, havent been to church in 15 years). maybe i will be smitten down!

It's also kind of a community-identification thing. Like, you're into this kind of music, so am I, there are more of us out here. I was wearing my Confusion is Sex shirt in Lowe's, picking up some paint, and a high school kid in a Lowe's vest--and sporting a modefied red-dyed mohawk haircut--walks by and goes "Cool T-shirt," and then pulls his vest open to reveal his Dead Kennedys shirt. Nice bridge across the generation gap, even if only for a few seconds.

My Sonic Youth shirts are the only ones that have resulted in people approaching me. Even though SY are obviously one of my favorite bands, I would almost rather find another person who was into, I don't know, the New York Dolls or something. Or T. Rex. I consider that to be my "roots," so to speak. I feel more common ground there than I do with most Sonic Youth fans.

wow that was weird. I was just listening to Hidros 3 while reading this, and just as I got to the end Kim started saying
"Men talk to other men through fashion"
How strange

Stay away from the girls that hit on you for wearing velvet underground t-shirts. They cause trouble.

haha tell me about it

this is true. Going into my gym class I was wearing my VU shirt and someone commented saying they like NICO but had never really heard VU. turned out they like freejazz and all that "jazz". Oh, and then he moved away.:(

Wow, they actually like Nico but had never heard VU! That's pretty unusual. It's the other way around with most people--or they're VU fans who hate Nico. (I happen to like both, by the way.)

And you wore your VU shirt to the gym? To like get sweaty in? That's wrong.

My rock T collection has always been very small. For one thing, I grew up a metalhead and those t-shirts were black and my teenage dandruff did not sit well on those black t's

my first rock T was a sleeveless AC/DC Highway to Hell, white T. It had the logo in flames on the front and angus young with the pout and the horns on the back. I got it from the donations bin at my dad's church. (we were po' folks. episcopal priests do not make much) I also got a baseball jersey style grey and red Motley Crue Shout at the Devil shirt.

Both those shirts ruled all. i wore them till they fell apart when i was around 12.

I used to love my metallica T with the pushead drawing of the clubs crushing through a skull. Damage Inc.


I also had a T from my first ever concert, David Lee Roth's eat em and Smile Tour.


for a long time I did not buy t shirts, ebcause they were expensive and I figured I would rather spend the money on books and music.

but I have recently begun my sonicyouth ONLY t shirt collection

I have this but in red

I got this one recently and I love it

and I just got this one in the mail today!!!!





I never get people coming up to me asking about my shirts. I also have amelvins BULLHEAD shirt and a Mudhoney EGDF shirt.
noone ever comes up to me. Oh well. I always talk to peop,e with good shirts on.

when I am driving down the street and I see someone in an old Misfits shirt I roll down the window and yell "MISFITS!!!!!!"

I very very rarely see anyone in a sonic youth shirt.

Those last two are very cool. Where'd you get them?

That made me smile.

I've get people commenting on my Nirvana shirt a lot too. Most of the time I just laugh and walk away.
I met one of my friends girl friends once while I was wearing my a Nirvana shirt and she was wearing a Kurt one. She just kind of looked at me the whole time and didn't say much (she looks like a mix of Marilyn Manson and that guy from AFI haha). Then the next time I saw her was after a show on the front steps of a grocery store and she sat next to me and started yelling in my ear saying something like "I SAW YOU A COUPLE DAYS AGO WHEN I WAS WITH KYLE, AND YOU WERE WEARING THAT SHIRT, AND I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL LIKE I NEEDED TO TALK TO YOU, YOU KNOW????? YOU KNOW HIS BIRTHDAY???? I DOOOO." She was piss drunk and kind of scary hahaha.

the brown shirt is fucking NICE. it is printed with an odd thing, some sort of bleaching solution, that instead of leaving a layer of ink atop the fabric, bleaches the fabric so it is supa soft right off the bat! never fade!

Ha ha....I do the same thing or yell out TV Casualty!!! Usually they are like 14 year old rapscallions.

I had my Goo shirt and a Sonic Nurse album stollen from me by a girl who doesn't listen to them.

So I'm planing on buying a Washing Machine shirt and Rather Ripped soon to replace them.

i wanna get a washing mashine shirt and a goo shirt.

Just looking at it makes me smile.

^ i know i know. i want that sy tape shirt too.

Dude, please do not go into Hot Topic. I absolutely detest that store. It's the worst store for buying rock and roll shirts. It's where all the stupid wann be punk kids and stupid metal heads spen their time. It's great if you wanna buy a Insane Clown Posse shirt or a Disturbed chain wallet, but not for us with a good taste in music. Stay Away! Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.

kingcoffee, some places are 400 miles away froma decent t shirt place, and hot topic always has tons of teen girls ready to suck it for $20

(that's horrible! I cannot believe I said that, even if it is probably true!)

Hot Topic blows. The only thing I've bought there in the last 4 years is Smiths t-shirts that were on sale.

It is called the internet.

Nirvana fucking rocks. That is all anyone has to know.

It's a universal truth.

who are nirvana? never heard of them. i've got my public enemy t-shirt on todayso everybody better watch out

I agree. I wear my Nirvana t's with great care nowadays because too many stupid people like them but only know Nevermind. They never really go the extra inch and listen to their other albums which are much better.

I also wear my SY tshirt (homemade) and people just look at me like I'm crazy or poor or something. Mostly because I'm wearing a tshirt with magic marker scribblings in a trippy style of a group that 95% of people have never heard of. The people at my college are all idiots so they don't get the reference. None of them listen to good music. There's only like 4 people who listen to good music. The rest are all stupid wigga's and wannabe punks/posers.

I still have the Heart Shaped Box t-shirt with the hearts all on it, but I haven't worn it since I was in like 8th grade because it makes me look like a douche.

i think I've already posted about this issue. Unfortunately for those of us who appreciate good music, Kurt Cobain opened up the flood gates for all of this post-2000 musical garbage the floods the airwaves and minds of young people today. When he made it multi-platinum to write three chord punk rock with good solid drum work, yet have apolitical and even nonsensical lyrics, all of a sudden BOOM! here comes emo and screamo and whatever the hell they call this crap thats out these days. I still love you Kurt, but you seriously fucked up there. You created the nineties version of androgenous male rock stars/fans with cute hair and make up.

I've got a gunge kid at my school haha. He's got the whole flannel thing going on and a jean jacket with a bunch of Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains patches on the back, plus the ripped jeans and such. He never used to dress like that, just one day out of the blue... :confused: It makes me laugh.
