Jeans with patches of bands you don't actually listen to sewn on them.
I'm starting to see it happen and its snowballing.
Getting hung that people accessorize with "bands they don't listen to" in 2021 when those kids can (and do) google and stream literally anything ever recorded
exactly, and how would anyone know about that anyway? it's basically just a general accusation of being a poser in some way with no way to back it up. those people that start an inquisition about how well you know that bands backcatalogue and entire history when they see you wearing a shirt or patch of them are also the worst.
Sure it’s annoying when celebrity du juor is wearing hardcore band x’s shirt in a fab photo shoot, but there appears to be a disconnect w/ a lot of people in this regard.
Fan: Whereas I love a certain musical ensemble’s creative output & hope they will continue to produce content for my enjoyment for years to come, I
ALSO want to keep them in my pocket so they aren’t pressured by record companies to bend their audio “vision” in order to cater to the tastes of a growing market base; I hope they can pay their bills on the money that I, alone, give them for records, t-shirts, downloads, patches, whatever, so that they can continue to make the unadulterated music I so adore.
Tough bind to find yourself in, I suppose.
Personally, I wish all artists every success, considering how few of them ever actually get to a point where they can live comfortably of their earnings.
But what do I know? I mostly listen to news because I’m old & boring.
