Word from Lorde's publicist (who I'm friendly with) is that she's actually a Cramps fan. As such, I look forward to her inevitable cover of "Goo Goo Muck."

"Surfin' Bird" surely

Former Vivian Girls bassist's solo record has her album cover put her in this thread:

I've long had a hunch that Poison Idea would follow after the Ramones then Motorhead then Black Flag T-shirt photo opportunities were depleted.

nyc-n why is t-shirt authenticity so important to your spirituality

you know wearing a t-shirt is not the same thing as being a person right

it's like in trading places when louis sees billy ray being driven around in his car and wearing his harvard repp tie and he's more upset about the tie than the car.

i love that he thinks kickball katy, who has been in the nyc underground for like 7 years, is some poser for wearing a poison idea shirt

is the thread title not worded so we can at least attempt to catalogue these instances w/o getting Alex in NYC abt it

xpost, i mean't bendy not nyc

(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.

ILXors Are Pretentious Assholes

pick your zing

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.

Speaking of which, who is the Darkthrone-tee-shirted keyboardist above?

some totally inauthentic pretensious asshole

aren't vivian girls and poison idea both punk bands? not sure i follow..

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.

DUDES.

sorry it's me, and no, my music doesn't sound anything like Darkthrone

the shirt + hat combo is impressive

No one finds dudes from a wimpy indie boyband in Mortician and AC/DC shirts funny? No one?

Oh, I give up.

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.

im with mark. no idea who that band was. Im gonna have a guess its your latest faves Interpol?

xp

i saw a girl in a t shirt the other day. it wasn't even a rock n roll shirt, it was just the honey nut cheerios bee. but it made me wonder - has she ever even had honey nut cheerios?

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.)

Tuomas do you know what AC/DC sounds like? :)

Wear a Tshirt of some band you never heard and when quizzed on it talk at length about the sleeve designer and say are you a fan of their work then

saw a girl being lifted into an ambulance while wearing a tiara and L plates. call me a rockist but I had grave doubts that she was actual royalty, or a car

that's a duck dynasty shirt on the guy 2nd from right

ha it looks like it should be some old NWOBHM band's insignia or something

Isn't that Seb from Trans Am / Baroness in Paul Banks band?

rock band interpol wear a rock band t-shirt and a matching trouser as "joke"
flipin hilirios

great thread.

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

I would really love an actual
