#and also bc some guys are dicks and i dont wanna get called a poser

I’m bored during quarantine, so here’s another hot take no one is gonna read.

I don’t give a shit about people wearing merch for bands they don’t actually listen to. As long as they’re not claiming to be a fan or part of the scene, I don’t see the issue. Plus band shirts are usually really comfy, and in some place (like where I live) really easy to find in thrift stores.

This “name five songs” bs is also usually targeted at young girls bc “they’re obviously wearing it for attention” when boys do it too, but aren’t interrogated.

Stop whining “I thought I was gonna make a friend, but no” bc you still can. Instead of being a dick & discouraging them from ever interacting w/ the scene, maybe just be nice & suggest some songs “bc the band on your shirt is really cool, you should check them out”. Now you’ve potentially sparked someone’s interest in the scene, & made that new friend you were pissing a fit about.
