People who wear band shirts, does this actually happen?
Nope. Every once in a long while someone will say "Nice shirt!".
Hey mostly men on Lemmy, does this even happen? No? Checkmate, women.
I wasn't asking a particular gender. I was asking people in general. I don't wear band shirts so I was curious what those who did had experienced. I've never witnessed it even when I was younger and band shirts were practically the dress code. The original screenshot isn't even gendered so I'm not sure where this hostility is coming from.
The screenshot is gendered and was posted in the witchesvspatriarchy community.
The only gendered part about it was "especially as a young woman" which implies that either men or women could be asked that question. Unless something has changed recently and only women can wear band shirts now. But whatever, I'm sorry my post offended you. I didn't intend for it to be dismissive towards women.
I had a person in the grocery store run up to me and recite the first half of a verse to me hoping I'd respond. I said something like "what?" as they pointed to my shirt and repeated themself. I then appropriately finished the verse and smiled.
You and I are very different people. I don't care if I had the bands entire discography memorized, there is no way I'm rewarding that behavior.
Aww, that's a little sad. If somebody is so jazzed about a band that they get up the courage to sing in public, I can certainly return a few bars.
… no. Although 2ce when I wore death metal band t shirt while walking my dog a car started blasting one of their songs. At least I thought it was one of their songs…. I went to the show that time and saw them live and they were great so I wanted to support them by buying merch. I have a ton of shirts like that.
My friend was wearing a Ramones shirt and I asked her to name a single member of the band.
