About 5years ago there was this girl that trained in the gym where I worked, she was flirty and chatty with me so the day she walked in wearing a slayer shirt I thought "holy shit shes wifey" so walked up to her pulling out my earphones as I exclaimed "I'm actually listening to south of heaven right now" and she responds with this totally confused face saying "what are you talking about" I then said slayer pointing at the shirt and she said "oh I just got this in Penny's, is it a band" (pennys is Primarks name in ireland) and without even processing it I blurted out " you dont know who slayer are? So Why the hell are you wearing the shirt???" She was a bit embarrassed and tbh looking back it was stupid of me to call her on it the way I did but in my head I'm like "wow I literally learned how to fight just because of the amount of times assholes and bullies in school would take the piss out of metal attire"

Hmm this is a difficult one for me. Being from a small village, I was one of the only kids in my area who would wear band tshirts and listen to metal music, and I was bullied for years for it. I still wore them, because I would rather wear my favourite band tshirts than pretend to be into something I wasn't into to blend in, even if it meant getting bullied, because you have a passion and love for that music and you hope to meet others who like them, too. To see people wear it casually without knowing what it is does get to me on that fact alone, even if I don't want it to, especially when it's those same people who would have bullied people like me for it in school. I do get what they're saying, there's not much harm in it and it can just promote them more, but I don't know. It's a weird one.

I love when people throw out the term "elitist " because they spot a poser trying make a mockery of something that metal fans fight to keep alive. I still remember being called a Satanist for throwing up metal horns in a catholic middle school. I have fought battles with assholes over metal stereotypes what has Kayne West or some other person who doesn't Ike metal done for metal other than buy a tee-shirt ? Also a lot of these people that use " elite " term are more than likely people who got into metal late and life and are downloaders that feel like their credibility as a metal fan is threatened.

I was a metalhead and still am for the most part but I would just classify myself as a music lover. I'm 45 and as I got older I opened up myself to different genres of music. 20 years ago I knew absolutely nothing about Motown and 60s r&b or doowop. Im here today to tell you I love that old school r&b. It has it's place in music and doesn't try to be anything different than what it is... Anyway what I originally was going to say is I used to buy albums when I was younger based on the name of the band and their artwork on the album cover. Not all the time. That is how I found soad from their name and first album cover with the hand. Knew absolutely nothing about them,turned them on and they fkn blew my mind. If I can do that,I think it's fine to wear a cool looking metal shirt. Then maybe just maybe they'll get turned on to the music. It's a bit of a reach,I know.

in high school some girl was wearing a skid row shirt and i went up to her all excited and asked her what was her favorite song. she looked at me all confused and didnt know that it was a band.

I get a little upset when I see someone with a band shirt that I like, and they don't listen to the band. It's not because I care that they are posers, or don't listen to the same music as me, but it's because I thought I had an icebreaker to meet a new friend. Sometimes it still works, but often times it's a false sense of identity.

Metal music branding (logo, album covers,etc.) is incredible art. I just take comfort in the fact that non-metalheads also have some sort of weird, unique and "devilish" sense of taste in art by wearing band merch.

I saw Slayer at universal amphitheater there were 2 distinct groups of people . Family's dressed up for the day headed to universal studios and a long line of metal heads dressed in black shirts black pants waiting to be let in to the slayer concert. Coolest guy at the show was wearing a iced earth shirt . This concert they wanted to charge extra to go in the mosh pit .iced earth shirt guy rounded up about 50 people and they walked right through the security guarding the mosh pit area . Once the security gave up everyone including my date started to flow into the pit area .

Recently I back into metal, used to listen to angelmaker, upon a burning body, rings of Saturn, a night in texas, slayer, and a few other bands in highschool. As I grew older I started getting into hip hop for 3 years straight after living with my mom in the city, eventually came across city morgue around 2018 after I moved away, They got me back into the genre. Started listening to black sabbath, anthrax, and toxic holocaust around a month ago.still listen to hip hop, but Im more of a thrash rap listener now. Brings back memories writing this man, hoping to pick guitar back up after a year or so of putting it off. I always made it a rule for myself to personally not wear band shirts if artist I haven't listened to, as well as now. If I wear a band shirt it's after giving them serious listens to. Honestly even with rappers I never rep their merch without actually listening to them. Rock on y'all 🔥

I look at it this way, when I was a kid and one of the ways I got into certain bands was because of artwork whether it be their t-shirts or album covers. There was no internet there for me to search these bands and listen to their music online, all I had was metal magazines showing me pictures of bands and showing the artwork. So I think that today for a pop star or a so-called celebrity wearing a metal t-shirt, if a fan of theirs is even casually interested in metal sees that t-shirt and gets an idea to go on the internet and search this band out find out about them listen to them and then become a fan the more power to them! Sure it's annoying when a non fan of metal only wears the T-shirt because the artwork is cool, but the exposure can possibly lead to more rewarding things for someone else.

Also, it's to me, at the very least, disappointing to walk up to someone because you see they're wearing a T-shirt of a band/singer/fandom/whatever that you like, happy that you can talk to them about something that you think you both like, only to hear, "oh, I just wear this because it looks cool". It's very different when they don't know that it represented the band you liked/fandom you're a part of, and then get curious and actually wanna learn more about it. _Those_ people I'm much less bridge troll-y about. They wanna learn about the thing you like and what it means to you! That's a form of respect!

They watered down the experience violently until now it's no longer the same experience. It would suck if that happened to another community but on the bright side they're just taking the clothes rather than sullying the music.

The thing is that a lot of us grew up getting beaten and bullied regularly and relentlessly for being into those bands growing up, and to see those people take our passion and use it for a fashion statement is like re-opening old wounds. If they grew to like it, cool. We have something in common. But if they still hate the music but sport the merch, like...why? There's plenty of edgy looking shit they could wear, why choose to wear something you actively dislike? It's literally just surface level fashionista crap which is exactly what punk and metal are the antithesis of. It's like our scene is being appropriated by the people who embrace everything we oppose. No, it's not LIKE that. It IS that. If someone wants to change and become a more accepting person and they dig the music or can at least respect people who do, I'm all for welcoming them with open arms. But if they wear the attire of music they actively hate, then wtf are they even doing?

The dude interviewing Phil was right though. I discovered Kamelot off of some adults shirt when I was like 13. I asked the person what it was, they told me who it was and said they were his favorite band, I gave them a listen and became a fan. I am now 32 years old and still love them. It happens.

Fun fact there are whole pages dedicated to people who have the scratchy blood logo tattooed, mostly on their forearms. Then there's the 'full patch on the back' school . . . I recall reading an interview with Sum41, the punk band, who got to meet their idol Kerry King, they said "We weren't sure if he would smile or kill us". Another clip where they're practicing backstage and drowning out Metallica, and Hetfield won't go ask them to turn it down so they can practice too. Full disclosure have more than one Metallica shirt for every day of the week and a Slayer shirt or two also :) Wearing a shirt is your personal advertisement for the band, if you can't make a good ad and represent the product, you probably shouldn't wear the shirt.

If the posers wanna spend 20 bucks for a t-shirt let them. Someone benefits from that money, either the band directly or indirectly or a manufacturer somewheres down the chain. Plus it increases metal's exposure by putting that name on the shirt out into the world, increasing the chances to gain new fans. Kim Kardashian has over 200 million followers. If just one percent of them are motivated to check out a band than it's worth it. Bands, especially more niche ones like Morbid Angel, don't sell multi millions of records like Metallica or Slipknot, so any extra money helps them continue on to make more music.

I'm mixed. I started listening to metal, specifically Slipknot, because I saw a pop punk band wearing their shirts in music videos. Like it's mentioned in the article, wearing the shirts could lead people to actually check out the bands. As a fan, I use the t-shirt to identify my people. Even if someone is wearing a shirt for a band I'm not crazy about, I still know that person likes a genre of music that doesn't receive the recognition that it should. The problem when people wear the shirt and don't know about the band, is thinking they are part of metal family when really they just like the t-shirt. To each their own.

Went to the Milwaukee Metalfest around the year 2000, and some poser was searing a Sting. (the pro wrestler) t-shirt thinking it was a black metal band t-shirt.

fun fact: Post Malone actually was in a metalcore band called Ashley's Arrival and even auditioned to be the guitarist of Crown the Empire. So it's safe to say he is or was a metalhead and definitely not a poser.

Even though they may not like that band, that doesn't mean they can't appreciate the art. I saw a Queen shirt the other day and even though I don't like them that much, I thought to myself...man, I want that f-ing shirt.

It always was a fashion trend. Since the 90s models, actors and fashionistas have been wearing those shirts.

I think the main issue is for some in the metal culture there was a LOT of shit they went through being a metalhead, generally by other genre fans. So seeing members of that genre wear the gear that got people bullied and picked on is a sore spot. Also if you are IN the public eye and that is your business, you should know what you wear makes a statement about what you are into, etc, and will affect your fanbases' behavior. You like the look of a shirt cool, but with the internet and cell phone, you got no excuse for not knowing who it is connected to. And Yeah some fandoms will heckle the shit out of your ass if you wear their stuff and do not know even 1 song from the band. Wear what you want but do not be surprised if you have rando's walking up to you and walking away dissapointed.

The metal aesthetic is popular. A lot of streetwear brands are doing that. It doesn’t shock me to see someone wearing an Obituary or Morbid Angel shirt but don’t even know they’re bands, it just looks like the current fashion.

I love BabyMetal. I'm not a fan, but I love their music. Watching from London UK.

I think for a lot of fans, especially older ones like myself, it comes down to the fact that when you see people who would have probably bullied you in school or tried to start fights in pubs and get called names because of the clothes you're wearing it can seem a bit like "wtf, you used to give me shit for like all that 'devil musi' now you're wearing a cradle shirt and have no idea about them" It makes sense but at the same time I'm not a teenager who's life and identity is solely based on my music even if I do mainly wear band t-shirts. Like chis says in this video, when the fashion changes we'll still be metalheada and they will chase something else

At the same time, I noticed that plenty of these kids listen only to mumble rap or modern pop.

That doesn't hold true. If they don't know who the band is (or even that it IS a band, in some cases) they aren't spreading awareness at all. The only people who would clue in to it are people who already know the band to begin with, and obviously the wearer who doesn't know the music can't inform anyone. I think you're on the right track, but not quite there based on that quote and this one: 'Supporting and showing appreciation for someone's work is a good thing, not a bad thing." That's just it - they AREN'T supporting and appreciating the bands' art. The art is the music, and they don't give 2 shits about it. It's literally just surface level fashionista crap which is exactly what punk and metal are the antithesis of. It's like our scene is being appropriated by the people who represent everything we stand against. No, it's not LIKE that. It IS that.

Old enough to be the children of those white hat ass holes from back in our day. Apparently “cool” skips a generation. And their children are their own Karma.

Back in the 90s, kids would find some artwork of band's Tshirts nice n wear them without knowing the music they were playing. Only to find out later from friends that the band were dope and later on starts listening to their music.

I remember getting grilled in high school circa 1998 because I was wearing my first NIN t-shirt to class. The class bully laughed at me and said..."I bet you can't even list a Nine Inch Nails song dork." I spouted out every song title from the Downward Spiral in order. That guy died 2 years ago. NIN isn't really metal, but yeah, this shit happens to people. It just happened to be my first band t-shirt. They couldn't handle me wearing it because I was the little, clean cut, polo shirt wearing kid. But long before then I was listening to heavy shit. They just never got to know me.

Kanye West probably don’t listen to them and did it for fashion but maybe he listens to them cause he is a rap producer and they sample a lot of music

When I was around 10 (1989) I bought a Led Zeppelin shirt because I thought it looked awesome. Then found out it was a band, got the cassette tape and fell in love. That lead to more metal like Metallica, Warrant, Motley Crue, Ozzy....... All because I got a shirt that looked cool. Swan song logo

My problem is when people wear metal shirts and then literally shit on the genre it's like: THE IRONY THE AUDACITY

It was the coolest thing to see my much younger sister wearing my old metal t-shirts. I got this Suffocation one from a friend and some random guy challenged me on that once. I liked it for the sentiment and the music, but I could not tell a single Suffocation song title. Is appreciation for the gift, the music genre overall and cool design not good enough reasons to wear it? I told him that I don't know a single song title, but I like the t-shirt, so he can fuck off. It wasn't me that looked embarrassed. Open your mind.

I know I’m a little late, but I got a funny story. One time when I was in geometry class as a sophomore(high school), I was wearing a Metallica shirt. They were and now are my favorite band so ya know, I know like, every single freaking song. My teacher happened to be huge fan too. He called me out on it and said cool shirt. After he compliments me on it, two girls turn around and tell me to name 5 songs by them. I took that as a huge challenge. I quickly named every song from kill ‘‘em all in order, then ride the lightning, then master of puppets, then and justice for all, then I made it halfway through the black album and to they were like “we said 5 not 50”. I was actually so pumped to have the opportunity to do that, not just to prove that I’m not a poser, but also, if I show everyone how much I love Metallica and metal in general, then maybe people will try it out for themselves and if they don’t like it, whatever, but if they do then we have another thing to be able to relate about.

Imagine you're wearing a metal band, and someone that thinks it's a fashion trend approaches you and the next thing they say is"oh that's so last year"

Working at the Hard Rock in Vegas, stoked to see Drake’s security dude rocking a Glassjaw shirt. He said “I don’t know man, it’s just a shirt.” 😆

I'm a Brazilian guy that love metal/rock bands and one day i had to opportunity to travel to India to estudy technology from a company and met a Indian girl that came to office using a pink floyd t-shirt so, i thought "nice, a good opportunity to talk and met someone besides to technical things, then she said that didn't know the band and the t-shirt was of brother her. This was so frustrating and weirdo because i never wear a t-shirt if i don't like of the band and neither asked about some song name, nothing. However, i think that even thou you don't know a track, at least you have to like to listen when someone put it to play. 😅

I buy music shirts for one reason only - I like the band or artist. I like supporting bands that I like. I don't think I would buy a shirt for a ban I didn't like or didn't listen to. That would be weird to me lol. 🎸
