(xp) based on thread title, it would probably be fair to post every photo of every musician who has ever worn a band t-shirt -- even, in some instances, musicians wearing their own band's t-shirt.

Not saying Katy is a poser, but I'm guessing she's leading the way for subsequent Poison Idea t-shirt appearances.

I realize that people reading the first posts in a 6 1/2 year old thread are not likely.
But for those who are thinking this thread is about people making fun of people for wearing shirts they shouldn't, or whatever, we had that argument 6 1/2 years ago.
We're not (for the most part) being elitist, pointing and laughing at the "posers" or whatever. We're just posting pictures.
As the guy who started the thread, I think it's pretty cool when some pop star wears a Ramones, Motorhead or Darkthrone shirt.

You know that female musicians just spend all day sitting around thinking "what t-shirt can I wear that will piss the *most* dudes off?"
It's true; this is totally a thing. We have meetings and stuff.
Anyway, I'm just gonna keep posting this picture more and more because it makes me laugh so much.

tbh I have absolutely no idea who that is.
I am *shocked* that Moby would be wearing a Bad Brains t-shirt, I mean it's not like he was in an early 80s hardcore band or anything.

It's the Lead Hipster from Interpol and his similarly indie-sounding solo-ish band, dressed up as metal dudes for a joke. (One of them is actually quite seriously into metal, see if you can spot which one, and actually they were taking the piss out of that guy by dressing like that; but, that band still sounds absolutely nothing like any of the bands on those shirts.)
((I guess maybe it would have been more obvious if I'd picked the one where he is not just wearing an ironic Van Halen t-shirt but also a *trucker hat* for maximum hipster points, but the wall of all four of them is funnier than just the one.))
OH GOD I AM TALKING ABOUT INTERPOL AGAIN, SHOOT ME. This is starting to reach OCD proportions.
But, y'know, hipster boy-dudes in metal shirts don't even pass notice, while the girl-bassist from an actual punk band wearing a punk t-shirt is OMG THE VAPOURS HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE.

I thought the band in BB's pic was Metallica, so I was like, "what's so weird about Metallica wearing AC/DC shirts?". (Though TBH I have no idea what Interpol sounds like, but I take your word that they're not like AC/DC.)

Firstly, it's not "Interpol" it's Paul Banks' solo band. Interpol do not *do* t-shirts, or jeans. It is against their ~design aesthetic~. Or, erm, something.
Secondly, I actually have no idea what the name of Paul Banks' solo band's drummer is. Sorry. I totally fail at fangirl. It would, however, be quite funny if Banks' band were comprised of all those hard rock and metalish dudes and yet still managed to sound not in the slightest bit hard or even rock. :-P

No one IRL ever actually gives a flying fuck or is sexist about any band t-shirt I wear or have worn in my 15+ years of IRL bad fashion senseI had hoped for years as a teenager in a podunk town that wearing a Sonic Youth shirt would be a great way to meet likeminded soulsTurns out it's true but all the likeminded souls are men twice your age who just want to read a teenage girl's boobs

Really, I swear to god I was trying to research whether that was Paul Banks' drummer or not, but then I fell into a hole on Tumblr and after 40 pages of haircuts I completely forgot what I was looking for so cheers, yeah?

WAIT. Actually, reading the interview, and remembering tweets from him and various fans and his band, the guy in the photo is Charles, not Seb. The other guy that isn't Brandon Curtis is Damien something or other.
Aw, reading that interview reminded me how much I really like that Banks record. It's a cute record.

Ha yeah, except my boobs were never worth reading even for guys twice my age, so it never worked for me on even that level. Still tho it's not like I've ever gone the other way and struck up conversation with someone about their t-shirt so I guess I am the problem too.
(OK, I did once: I excitedly told someone in a Kitty Kitty Corporation t-shirt "nice shirt, I love Quickspace and Ligament!!1" at a gig I was sort-of-running and she looked mutely terrified and left the gig before the music started and I suspect never came to any of our other gigs again. Sorry to that person.
I was probably being a gatekeeping asshole myself anyway bcz I was probably secretly hoping they would say "I have never heard of Ligament, you are better at having heard bands than me and I am unworthy of this t-shirt" or sth. I have no idea what this post is even about, sorry)

I have totally, in the past, struck up conversations with random strangers about the brilliant T-shirts that they were wearing! (I also used to drink a lot more heavily in the past, so I would strike up conversations with random strangers over just about anything.)

I met one of my best friends in this town through him seeing me wearing semi-obscure tweepop band t-shirts and coming over and saying hi and stuff, mind you maybe 75% of my t-shirts are band ones. Another 20% being record label tees.

i will occasionally compliment people on their band tshirts, but because i know in advance that it will be completely weird & awkward, i try do it in a glancing way, so that by the time my comment registers, i'm already halfway out the door (figurative if need be). more social interaction should be conducted in this fashion, imo.
