Primark sells Nirvana, Motorhead, Sex Pistols, Slipknot shirts.
the past gets re packaged and re sold. the models in primark windows are dressed like I was dressed in 1993.
wearing a band shirt now doesn't mean you even like the band, you might not have even heard the band, you might not even know it is a band..
this must be what it was like in the 90s for My parents, seeing me in Hendrix / zeppelin shirts...
There's a fashion researcher at Southampton Solent University whose done a project interviewing people who wear band t-shirts but who have no idea who the band are. I think the Ramones figure largest in it.
Pop has eaten itself, regurgitated the digested fibres and has stitched itself some fine new threads.
As showcased at a previous VG+ Leeds record playing session, I designed my own Wurzels t-shirt in the style of the Ramones. After I put a photo of it on the Wurzels Facebook group the guy from the market who printed the t-shirt for me was inundated by orders from the West Country cider drinking community. He now lives in a massive mansion made of gold while I'm still huddled in a cold dark shed full of old comedy records. C'est la vie.

A wealthy French tourist once bought my Stray Cats T-shirt OFF MY BACK on the Greek island of Ios.
I walked back to my tent topless, with loadsamoney in my pocket.
Later I went to a cafe, said good morning to the waiter and was brought squid on a plate, because good morning sounds like squid in Greek.
I also got hit in the face by a flying beetle, but that's another story.

Except you knew who they were and, I presume, you didn't pay £200 for the t shirts.

Never thought about it but you are absolutely correct Kalimera is Good morning and kalamari is squid. Never been to Ios btw.
I've got a picture of it in action somewhere, but this is the design: the dragon and mace from the Somerset coat of arms, an apple tree branch and subtly edited text.
