Know Your Rights

There's a theory with band t-shirts, especially those of bands that are no longer together.

I didn't come up with it, but I think it makes good sense, despite my philosophy that I am certainly not the one to bestow "rules of dressing" upon others. That said, if you're going to wear an old band shirt, it's probably a good idea to wear a shirt of a band that you genuinely love, and/or only if you know at least 75% of their songs by heart.  It prevents awkward moments with earnest, eager people who start talking to you about a band they care about, and when you have nothing to offer in terms of conversation, you look like a jerk.  Wearing a shirt of a band you love also lets you rise above folks who wear band shirts just because it gives their outfits a certain 'look.'

I have maybe four band t-shirts. Give me a vintage Madonna tee and my collection will be complete.

But don't listen to me, with my smug as fuck smile on my face. God, I make the weirdest faces in my photos. Anyway, do what you will, to thine own self be true, but above all, dress with sincerity.
