I come from the Grunger generation where you’d only wear the bands you loved. I dont get why you’d wear a band shirt of a band you werent listening to.
Had a kid (well early 20s) come into work in a Nirvana smiley shirt a few years back. I said “Oh you like Nirvana, then?” (paraphrased as it was a couple of years back)
“What’s that?”
“Your shirt.”
“What??”
“You’re wearing an old band’s shirt!”
“No its not.” Side-eyes me as she walks off. I was just excited as I thought someone was into the music. Ahh well.
This comes from a person who has elected not to get any of the tattoo designs I really wanted, as their Nordic motif unfortunately was coopted by Nazis. Glad I researched!

Sometimes you just don’t know if it’s band merch or just a cool thing.
An ex used to wear an “are you dead yet” sticker on her boot. She didn’t even know the band children of bodom and thought it was just cool.
This is insanity. This is like wearing a punisher skull logo and not knowing the association to killer cops.
Research what you wear! If you’re gonna be a billboard, at least know what you’re advertising
Sadly, really unfortunate in that instance, especially considering what Frank was all about
Totally agree.

Lad I knew at work went and got a “black sun” on his neck. Didnt realise that was a Nazi symbol (on on of Hitler;s righthand men’s lobby floor iirc)
I noticed a lot of Indians like to wear Nirvana t-shirts, and I think that’s actually hilarious.
They get a pass, obviously 😅
