Save America Conservative American Patriot November 15th USA T-Shirt

I don’t know… there could be any number of reasons. I fail to see how it’s my place to judge other people’s clothing choices at all. Besides, assuming the Save America Conservative American Patriot November 15th USA T-Shirt moreover I will buy this shirt wasn’t stolen (from the band itself), the band got paid and their name is being “put out there” and advertised for free, which is basically why band shirts exist in the first place. I get that some fans feel a certain “ownership” over their favorite musicians and I can see why they might look down on people who pretend to be fans of an underground band when really they aren’t but it’s a slippery slope from pride to pretention. When does a person earn the right to own a band shirt? Do they have to own more than one album by the band or is just one enough? Do they have to have seen the band in concert? Surely there’s more “integrity” to a shirt bought at the concert than one bought online but for truly underground bands, they might not tour certain areas of the country. Or certain countries. What if I stopped listening to Metallica when they went pop in 1991 but I still have my …And Justice for All shirt from when I was in high school (yes, I went to the concert)… can my nephew wear it when he’s old enough or will people judge him too?

It’s silly, if you ask me. I can see maybe being annoyed if someone makes a big deal about being a Misfits fan, wears his hair dyed black and in a devil’s peak and all that, but really just listens to bands like Green Day and Smashmouth. That seems a bit of a misrepresentation of who they are, an intentional attempt to associate themselves with a lifestyle that they know nothing about. Personally, I still don’t care, but I can understand why some people might. But a shirt is just a shirt. If you define yourself so narrowly that someone else putting on a T-shirt threatens your own personal identity, I think maybe you have more important things to be concerned about than what they are wearing.
