>>53327168

'yeah'
'cool'

I was wearing my band's shirt at school and a girl came to me and told me "I'm colleagues with the vocalist !"
I just said "Yeah ? Me too !" (I'm guitarist)

>>53327149
people seemed to love my the residents shirt, dunno if they knew it was a band shirt tho

Yeah people ask me what the designs/logos are all the time. The only shirt I wear that anyone knows is a Green Mind Dino Jr one. I've had multiple people in their 40s compliment me for it.

I was installing fiber in a hospital and a doctor complimented my ratty old Dream Theater tour shirt that I don't mind getting torn up in dirty old ceilings.

Whenever I wear my Bad Brains shirt I get at least 2-3 complements on it

I don't wear band t-shirts because they look like shit 99% of the time

My high school hipster English teacher didn't like my Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia t-shirt.
And not because she had something against Dimmu Borgir.
This was before the SJW uprising, she was a precursor.

I was wearing an American Football shirt in a pub/bar and the bar tender played The Summer Ends.

My mom hid my Rush shirt in middle school. The Signals one with the Dalmatian about to pee on a fire hydrant.

My middle school found the band name inappropriate because 'Rush' and drugs are synonymous, apparently.

When I was a kid, I went to the beach one day with my dad and had no shirts to wear so he let me borrow a Grateful Dead shirt. Old guys left and right kept complementing me. One even said to my dad, "Gotta get 'em into it when they're young!"

I need more music attire. All I have is a sweater with OK Computer's art on it and a Rings Of Saturn shirt from a friend.

Got a Run The Jewels shirt a few weeks back and I've at least received 6 compliments on it so far from fans I bump into while going about my day.

My favorite experience however was when I was wearing a Melt Banana shirt once and a businessman with a full suit and briefcase crossing the street looked over to me and shouted "MELT BANANA RULE MAN!!" and threw the horns up at me.

>>53327149
was wearing a burzum s/t shirt at a local indie show (the bands were terrible but hey free live music) and a dude comes up to talk to me about my shirt and black metal in general. We traded bandcamp links to our respective music projects and his band, although broken up, was some solid as fuck pop-punk. Was pretty cool.

When I saw mineral in November I think I got some comments about my American Football shirt, got me talking to some cool people about early emo. I talked in depth with some old coworkers about local hardcore crews and deathcore bands because of shirts too.

I wear some black metal shirts and long sleeves, but only of pioneering and important bands. When people complement me I just act false and then wish they would die because they probably have shit taste and still don't know the real meaning and story of black metal yet alone know which bands matter.

Went to buy a phone a while back and was wearing an Altar of Plagues tshirt.
Guy selling me the phone told me I had good taste and that he was friends with the band.
Turned out he used to be the bassist in The Wounded Kings (UK Doom band) for a while and performed with them

RIP that tshirt I fucking miss you

I got complimented while wearing my Swans and AJJ shirt. I saw some guy wearing a Coil shirt and I wish I would've said something to him.

I had a Behemoth - Demigod shirt that I wore a lot in High School and often people would comment on it since it had the album art, which is pretty eye-catching.

Some people would ask what my Lurker of Chalice shirt said since the band logo is practically unreadable at a glance.

That's pretty much it.

I was wearing a Lamb of God shirt one night and a qt came up to me and told me that it looked cool and that she liked the band. I ended up in her bed several hours later.
I would have never expected this to happen - she didn't even look like a metal fan at all.

Oh, and also an old english man (like 55 years old) that taught in an english academy I used to go to looked at that same shirt and asked me "Sonic Youth?" as if he was surprised. I answered "yes, Sonic Youth" and that was all. I'm not even sure if he knew the band, it was a really weird moment.

In high school I was wearing a t-shirt with the Dead Kennedys logo on it. People complimented it a few times, most of them just saying "nice shirt" and asking me what the logo is supposed to be.

I got a 4 Skins patch sewed on the front of my hoody and a dude at the store commented on it a few weeks ago.

I was with the other dudes on my crew and they couldn't believe it, they thought I was literally the only one in the world to listen to them (as in, I think they thought I made the band up just to have something phallic and borderline offensive to wear)

In reality, both the dude and myself were surprised to run into another old Oi! fan in a very small northern plains farm town


Over the course of my life theres no way I could even count the coversations I've had initiated by a band t shirt or patch. It's even led to me getting laid.

Nobody I know listens to HANL, but have started a few conversations over the Sonic Youth one

I once wore an Econochrist shirt to high school, and some kid told me that Econochrist sucked.

I then became the bassist for Modest Mouse.

All I get are neckbeards in slayer hoodies saying "Slayer is better" when I wear my 'Thrax shirt. Guess we're all stuck in the 80s.

>>53331797
Unrelated to the thread but did they ever play a sleep riff (Dragonaut I think) in the middle of the set. Really odd.

Once in a Suicide Note shirt, once in a Rosetta shirt. Which is a bummer, because when I really think about it, the only reason I wear band shirts is in case somebody with similar taste wants to start a conversation about it. :/

I had a Hella - Tripper shirt I used to wear a lot, and every show I wore it out to the band would give it props.

>Nirvana T-shirt:
"Dude Kurt Cobain commited suicide because he turned into an MTV product, if you would actually like his music you would respect his with not to be one".
And he was right, we burned that t-shirt later when we were drunk. I was 16 by the way.
>Sonic Youth:
Basic conversation about Sonic Youth and similar band recommendations
>Black Flag shirt:
We were at a crust-punk concert and this midget dwarf started screaming about how much he loved Black Flag, Sex Pistols, Misfits and all the other entry-level punk bands you can think of.
At the same time the vocalist was trying to anounce the next song, vocalist demanded the crowd to violenty pogo us around at the next song.
As the crowd started cheering I tried to slip away so the band started playing right away, went home with a black eye and a bruised mangled body thanks to a fucking Black Flag shirt and an obnoxious fan.
>No-Ca$h shirt:
I was arrested in the one with the pig dressed up as a cop getting chopped up with a hacking knife, multiple officers giggled at seeing the print and probably also because they know I was theirs for two whole weeks.
Sublime shirt:
Some guy loved Sublime so much he took me home to meet his girlfriend, all 3 of us smoked weed for two days straight and he insisted I touched his girlfriend's boobs to agree on how great they look and how firm they were.
Pretty sure they wanted a threesome but I politely declined because they both looked like their house didn't have a shower and the guy was very very pushy and I'm an autist.
>Joy Division:
Bunch of pubescent girls coming up to me asking me why I'm wearing a girl's shirt, took all my strength not to go full fedora on them.
Besides that mostly just quick glances from girls wearing one too but probably having no fucking clue what the band actually plays.
My ex has a phone cover these days and when I tried to make her listen to it atleast once she tod me I was being an elitist asshole.

I've had a few edgelords comment on my Burzum shirt and a couple overweight autists eye me down hardcore in my death grips shirt.

You're acting like this is a bad thing.

I hope you die alone, she's probably fucking some Chad that's exclsuively into first wave and early 2nd wave Norweigan black metal right now whilst in tears of laughter at the fact that people actually listen to USBM and anything made after 1996.

When I was a plebby teen I wore a Slipknot shirt and got comments on that but that's it

a qt complimented me on my Streetlight Manifesto shirt last year, and one night I wore my Aphex Twin shirt out (the one that everyone says people mistake for Half-Life) and two people specifically complimented my Aphex shirt, most notably some guy on the subway who I never really got a good look at who yelled "APHEX TWIN" as I was getting out and then gave me a thumbs up

I still don't know if he just got the shirt because of the design, or if there are thug-looking people who listen to mathcore. It's a strange world.

Once in a show a guy walked to me, grabbed my shoulder, pointed at my band shirt and did that fist shake thing that metalheads always do because he was the drummer of the band

One of my professors told me he liked my Bathory shirt...I found his Spotify gooogling his name and apparently he listens to a lot of metal.

this shirt reeks of kvlt, stale body odor and cheap beer mixed with past camp fires

Shirt, naw. A hoodie, yeah. I got a black hoodie with a red afx symbol I'd silkscreened on. I've gotten about 4 half life comments, but I got 3 comments, during my first semester of uni, on it being aphex twin.

I remember one was actually a short hair qt in the library who stood up and practically shout "APHEX!" while pointing/looking at me. between me being an autist & the library being full due to finals week, i just gave a thumbs up and said "aw yeah" super quietly

i've gotten a few comments back when i used to wear this, mostly it was people asking how long it's been since i've taken a shower

>How metalheads make friends
>wear band shirt
>someone likes it
>proceed to talk about metal for an hour

I know I'm gonna get shit on for this but I wear band shirts everyday. I get compliments all the time and pretty often strike up conversations with cool people. I met one of my best friends because He liked my Gojira shirt and I liked his Amon Amarth shirt.

i had several 'woah' moments seeing various people wearing this shirt and eventually realized they weren't actually converge shirts and none of them probably knew who converge are
