>>18614872
I'm not, the drumming sucks

>>18614886
I haven't been to a concert in like 10 years. When it's like $85 minimum to see a band I used to like and saw for $35 that hasn't put out a new/good album in years it's like what's the point. Most of the people I like the most are dead anyway anf most bands have shitty merch or bad fan associations. Even if I like tool or megadeth I wouldn't be caught dead in a shirt of theirs. I remember glassjaw having the sickest merch but that's also because they started merchdirect and made a fuckton of money off of that and the guitarist was into ny streetwear.

I wish I was a virgin. I've learned the horrible truth that critics of incels refuse to admit, which is that having sex with women doesn't automatically give you a higher opinion of them. You read too much into my memes

>>18617271
>higher opinion
Who ever suggested that? Gives you a much more realistic opinion, you realize they're all whores.

There are some nice album covers to have on a shirt. But it makes me feel like a poser wearing them when I can't even name the songs on it aside from the big ones.

Definitely need to be somewhat familiar with the band. I remember asking someone wearing a wu tang jumper what his favourite song off 36 chambers was and admitted to never listening to them. Was a bit embarrassing

You would have to have a high opinion of women to shame virgin men. The implication is that they are missing at something incredibly important. Maybe in other times. In these times they aren't missing much. Sex doesn't mean peace of mind. Look at modern women. They have lots of sex, yet they drive themselves crazy over stupid shit on a daily basis

Balenciaga makes cool band style tees that aren’t actually for bands

All shirts I own that aren't undershirts are band tees and longsleeves.
I'm tall, thin, and have long black hair and a beard. I wear black skinny jeans or camo cargo shorts with Chuck Taylors or cheap black walmart nonslips if Im expecting to be walking or on my feet all day.
For me the look comes with the territory, I've looked like this for the last 15 years, about half my life, and have been going to metal concerts just as long; no reason to suddenly stop now.

I wouldn't recommend anybody willfully being a poser. Most people's Spotify playlists are public, you can see if they really listen to Nirvana or just picked up the shirt at wally world

>>18614826
It's just weird to wear a shirt with a band you don't care about. It's like wearing a shirt that says "i like peppermints" when you don't actually like peppermints. Like, no one cares at the end of the day, but why? There's enough shit on tshirts out there. You can find a different cool t shirt, but you just had to wear the peppermint shirt and seethe when someone points out that you don't like peppermints.

Find a small band that you like and explore the webstore for their label. When you find a tshirt you like, you look up the band just to make sure they aren't cringe idiots before you buy it.

>>18626938
Bandcamp would work too, right?

I only wear band shirts (ocassonally) of musicians that I like enough to listen to regularly (even if I'm not a walking enciclopaedia ofthe band) and if I happen to find a design I like.
Wearing merch of bands you don't listen to, whether it's ironically or for aesthitics, is retarded. But then again, I don't quiz strangers about their music knowledge.

>>18628796
Wearing a band shirt is your way of saying to people "Hey, I enjoy this artist/media, enough that I will wear their merchandise" without having to outwardly say so. If you wear a shirt of a specific band for the "aesthetic" and know nothing about them or their music, don't be surprised when someone asks you about it and then get outed as a complete poser trying to be someone that they're not.

I really hate band nerds who try to compete and jerk each other off based on how much obscure knowledge and trivia they know about a certain artist. That being said, you should still be familiar with most of an artist's discography if you're going to go out wearing their branding.

Let me put it this way. If I see you wearing the shirt of a band that I like, I WILL chase after you to talk to you. Sometimes people do the same to me, and it makes me very happy. But that really only happens for local bands, really big names, or at conventions.
It's good to buy merch at shows because that's the only way the musicians make a buck.

>not just going to local shows and seeing sick new bands from up close
I have zero interest in my local scene since it plays nothing close to what I like. Mostly metal, goth stuff, then country. I drive an hour to my nearest big city to see smaller bands who scrounged up enough to go on tour. Tickets are $25, but gas, tolls, and optional parking/booze more than double it sometimes. Still worth it to do all of that and buy a $30 shirt to support their band, sometimes I get to shoot the shit with them at the merch table or hangout for a bit in between them packing up their stuff or between sets if theyre an opener.

Picrel is one of favorite bands and I surprisingly get compliments on the shirt I have of it despite it being drawn by some teen a decade ago

>>18633880
Where’d you get it?

You need to like the band to wear the tee, any other opinion is wrong

Did you get the shirt at a concert or from somewhere like bandcamp?

>>18614826
Not really sure why you'd advertise something without liking it. The only excuses imo are you saw a band as an opener, bought their merch but haven't gotten to listen to them yet. Or if it's a really neat design that stands alone from the band.

>>18617271

ironically incels have a club but sex havers don't, there is no "I lowered my standards and put my penis into a morbidly obese woman club", because the men who do that work harder to hide their shame than literal incels.

My local music scene is a dead, bloated corpse compared to what it was. 12-15 years ago, there were a handful of decent local metal bands, but any more the only local bands that managed to hang on got bigger and stopped being local bands. The only way to see good shows is to drive at least 2 or 3 hours away.

>>18617271
You're the kind of person who is never satisfied with anything and will always invent elaborate problems for yourself and call it a "trauma response" when in reality it's just you being a narcissistic fag. If you were an incel you'd be crying about being a virgin, probably even have a blackpill yootoob channel whining about it too.

Please, spare the world from your freakish, contrarian behavior.

The kind of person who whines about "AI Slop" is also the one who supports piss-bottle galleries and blank canvases in modern "Art" museums.

>>18644222
No, I don't think this is true.

>>18644236
It is true. Go to modern "Art" museums and what is in there? Thousand gallon tanks of piss, upside down toilets, some gross dyke's menstrual blood mixed with piss and shit on a canvas, a gigantic fork sticking out of the ground, fugly statues of niggers and spics, etc. These are your "Superior" human creations? This shit is a mockery of art, beauty, and decency.

For most anti-AI faggots their real issue is that being an "Arist" is no longer a little exclusive club for them and their gay butt-buddies. They hate that the average person can create something in the matter of seconds and they don't have to go through the butt-pirate brigade.

And then you have the "It's stealing my art!!" bullshit. For starters, you don't own art styles. You don't own brushstrokes or color pallets or facial expressions or settings and scenarios. If you didn't want your "Art" to be "Stolen" you would lock it behind a pay-wall or make physical media.

Secondly, I'd be 100% willing to bet we can go through each and every one of these artists profiles and find art that is completely derivative of someone else's work. How many west-slop r-34 is just copying off of derpixon's homework? How many art-hoe retards on yootoob.coom are literally 1-1 clones of each other? They LITERALLY use the same EXACT thumbnails, color pallets, use the same verbiage, manner of speaking down to cadence and tonality, wear the same clothing, etc. etc. And these are (supposedly) "Superior" because it's made by (retarded) hoomans?

Instead of just letting people have fun and play around with generative AI tools, you act like a narcissistic, fascistic ghoul because you hate joy and amusement. It's literally just something fun for people to mess about with and you niggers will have a autistic basedjack meltdown over it lmao.

Now, some caveats: do I think billion dollar companies should be using gen-AI to make art for video games? NO. Do I think people should be selling AI art? NO.

>>18633450

>>18614826
