this question reminds me of that shit movie Juno where that girl tries to identify herself with all these cool seminal bands in order to gain approval from the people around her, but it's pretty clear that she's just a wannabe who knows nothing about all that stuff

When I was thirteen, I borrowed a sweet vintage Grateful Dead tshirt from a friend. I wore it to school and the older kids all gave me a bunch of shit for it. "If you like the Dead so much, name one song by them that ISN'T Casey Jones or Truckin!" I was only wearing it cuz it was cool, I didn't know much about the Dead then.I think the Dead qualifies for this thread, most of their music doesn't really reflect their heavy psychedelic image.

"no one thought Rachel from Friends was a big MC5 fan because she wore the tshirt"wasn't the actress a former roadie or something?

those MC5 t-shirts were actually produced in conjunction with Levi's. They knew what they were doing

are we really having this thread in 2012? did i step into the time machine and wind up in 2003?

indeed
i thought this might maybe be a possibly more valuable thread about the assymetry between a given artist's image and how one might expect them to look given their sound

That is the winged panther image isn't it? Would love one of those shirts, but couldn't find one in Gap where I was, think there was a branch in Dublin at the time, or maybe London.Do have a reproduction poster with that image on on my wall. NME did it as a 2 sided thing with I think Oasis on the other side back around 2005. Probably tied in with the band reunion or something.

Rolling Stones' tongue is definitely one of the most iconic and coolest band logos ever. I also wanted a tshirt with that one even before knowing what it was.
Inditex brands (responsible for zara and pull and bear) released tshirts with the who and yes logos and designs a few years ago. I still see peeps wearing some every now and then and its obvious they have no idea what they stand for and just bought them because they look cool.
Some gay friends started using shirts for a while with metal band logos like motorhead or iron maiden because it was apparently a fashion thing a while ago. They hate metal.

Yeah, i had a Grateful Dead shirt just because it was a giant skull. I thought it was maybe a metal thing or something.

Maybe I'm misjudging but The Who aren't really popular amongst rockists in Mexico. The first time I heard them I was 23 and I was so in love with my 'new' discovery that I had to share it to everyone I knew and they only knew them by name but had no idea of any song that was actually theirs. Some had heard about 'my generation' but that was it.
There's loads of anglophiles over here, tho, so there's an amount of people that will buy anything that looks slightly british.
