According to the "expert" cited in this article, it is.

When it comes to rocking your favorite band tee, she offers this very firm piece of advice: “NO! NO! NO! It is only acceptable when cold and you need new attire warm you up.”
“Please do not be that person.”

What say you?

[ ] Absolutely unacceptable
[ ] Heady as fuck
[ ] Who cares? Wear what you like.
[ ] Penis

what about wearing your favorite festivals shirt to a specific band's concert?
I have many more Vibes shirts nowadays than any band's.

[Joker]

I agree, unacceptable to wear the shirt of the group you're seeing. Of course, I've probably done it a few times myself.

[melissaphish]

Um, its a blog for women....

[In A Silent Way]

ZOMG I don't know what to wear to the UM show tomorrow night! Kind Buds, Deadheadland, Mike DuBois print, Mets, plain old polo shirt? Now I wish I'd bought a Vibes shirt.

Tools fans do this. "Look how long I've been listening to Tool, bro!"

Oh yeah. I'm so happy you posted this because style is always first among my concerns when deciding what to wear to a show.

I always bring a travel iron to make sure my shirts are wrinkle-free, make sure to have three pairs of shoelaces for each pair of shoes: red, yellow, and pink. A selection of hats is very important, got to have a flat brim, a trilby, and something floppy.

Cleats are essential for dancing in the mud and everyone should bring at least three sizes to be able to cope with different depths.

Now the most important thing, of course, is to have a cute tank top. I'm talking designer tank here, like at least $150 worth of tank. And you have to boast to everyone about how much it cost you or you risk being uncool.

it's kind of heretical to wear anything other than biscuits attire at bisco.

[tiedyesky]

I'll wear whatever I want. Or....you can buy my clothes.
That's my take and I'm sticking to it. Now....gotta go. I gotta get a White Zombie shirt to wear to see the Twins of Evil

[Jim]

Gotta admit, I have the full spectrum of KindBuds T's (12+) ... not the best apparel for "Driving Stealth" into a fest though.

[insolent cur]

depends.


david "dread" hinds from steel pulse. he liked the shirt. the band really liked gotv!

[u.s.blues]

no.

[James420]

whatever. I wore my U-Melt gear to plenty of U-Melt shows. I didnt care. It was more important to me to help promote the band. I stil made friends.

And how many people do you see wearing Phish shirts at Phish shows?

[In A Silent Way]

Time to face facts: I suck at concerts. I'm turning in all my heady points. Does anybody want to buy my Umphrey's McGee and Little Feat tickets?

[Tabbooma]

LOL...

Um, its a blog for women....

[Tabbooma]

Years back we would buys shirts at the show and sometimes put them on right away, Tabbooma did wear his Kindbuds shirt at a couple off their shows

[KittyRocks]

at least $150 worth of tank.

[KittyRocks]

to me true coolness is just not giving a fuck. so the fact that this person has thought so much about it - my verdict: author is lame & has no life.

[Lostsailr]

neutral on this (old classic no one has, would work, current tour...weak)

but what about music you listen to on the way to a show.
I was "raised" never listening to dead bootlegs on the way to a show.
Beatles were a heady option. Stones worked, but never Dead...
some issue about throwing off the karmic cosmic balance or something...pretty much follow this still, but since I can't be on the way to see Jerry, real Dead is fine always now
(if I'm ever really headed to see Jerry, please play as much Dead as you can)

I googled penis shirt and was a little afraid of what was going to pop up

I have got to get one of those

[Spidergawd]

I rock my Kind Buds shirts to their shows and plenty of others. Street team 4 lyphe, yo!

Of course I wear band/festie shirts to shows. Why the hell not, and why would I care if some hipster douchebag looked down his excessively pierced nose at me? Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck!!

I could prolly pull it off with a nice blazer

[foo]

I have 2 vibes shirts..I can't wear either... one was from VIP and a size to small, other so worn out it has holes...it was a 2 for $5 cause they misspelled "gathering" given to me cause I was cold

[ashleyoverdrive]

I agree, unacceptable to wear the shirt of the group you're seeing. Of course, I've probably done it a few times myself.

I also agree...I have to vote against wearing merch of the band[s] playing that night. Whenever my friends and I go to shows and see someone wearing it, we call them "party fouls." I think it's kind of tacky personally, but does it really matter? Probably not. You're already showing enough support by being at the band's live show. The only time I've broken the rule is when I'm at an outdoor festival that gets chilly or at the very end of the night when I'm about to leave [and it's cold outside]. Once you're outside the venue, rule is off.

Probably sounds lame but just my opinion after a few short years of concert going so far haha

Yeah I am big on the don't listen to the band you are seeing on the day of the show rule. Especially since I usually do a few shows in a row. I usually like to listen to psychedelic indie rock or 90 music when going to shows.

[TheDHJ]

Here's how I see it.

In the loud rock scene...metal, punk, hardcore...you don't wear the shirt of the band playing. Ever. You will be laughed at. Always try to wear the shirt of a relevant band that doesn't suck.

In the jam scene, it's obligatory to wear the shirt of the band you're seeing...letting the freak flag fly. It's like a calling card to advertise where you've been and what you've seen.

I'm cool with both.

[TheDHJ]

Oh, and I usually listened to Slayer or Motorhead on the way to shows.

[mamapajama]

This is all news to me.
I am that uncool.
and I'm okay with that.

You should watch PCU. Watch it with Emily. She will love it. Caleb would probably like it but there is smoking in it. Don't know how you feel about that.

[Smiles]

rules are dumb.

3. Church service

I'll throw $5 in on that.

[kenbud]

NEVER wear the shirt of the the band u got there, now if it's an oldie u wanna rock, let it be. Unless you need a shirt, never where the bands shirt you just bought.

[Kuzsin]

....why not just pierce both nipples and go shirtless...?

[mamapajama]

Greg, What is "PCU"?

My friend dropped this movie off to me and demanded I watch it. Still sitting here two months later. I don't respond well to demands. I think I will check it out this evening after din-din with mom.
