Tbh though I don’t understand buying merchandise for something you don’t know about. Like why do so many people but Nirvana shirts yet couldn’t pick out a Nirvana song?
I’m not hating I’m just fuckin confused at the thought process.
Tbf, I grew up in the 90s, and I know plenty of Nirvana. One time someone noticed my Nirvana shirt and asked my favorite song. I totally blanked on everything except Teen Spirit and…Rape Me.
Yeah but at least you know a couple songs. I’m talking about the people that straight up buy merchandise without having a single clue what they’re buying.
Like if I’d never used a DeWalt tool in my life but slapped their stickers on everything I owned. Why would I expect any less than people asking me about DeWalt? Why would I get upset about people asking me my favorite DeWalt tool?
I’ve done the same, favourite songs are overrated imo. My ‘favourite songs’ change all the time and half the time I’m just picking a relatively obscure song that I like atm. It sounds way cooler if I say my favourite radiohead song is Kid A instead of Karma Police.
At least the smiley logo is far enough away from public consciousness that it just looks like your standard alt/punk rock logo at this point, so many people are likely buying them without even realizing
Those shirts are sold at (fast) fashion stores, young people buy and wear them, bunch of other young people want to fit in and buy them too, so they keep being produced and bought more. Same thing with Guns & Roses, Friends and what not. Stores like H&M make huge bank off those IPs and bands

I would say rape me unironically and without blinking. That’s what you get for asking.

How cool does the DuWalt sticker look?
It’s fuckin rad 😎

Yeah, agreed. I honestly have no idea what my “favorite song” is. I think I’d have to say something like Ruby Soho if I’m being honest.
I have a group of favorites that is ever-changing, but ever since I first heard it, my favorite has always been Weird Fishes

Personally I think it’s way cooler to wear shit you actually know about but I get it. It’s a vibe.
It’s like how I wore skate shoes in elementary school even though I didn’t skate or even know anything about skate culture.
That’s how you get labeled a “poser” and get your pogs stolen
Good title for a single: I’m not hating, I’m just fuckin’.
