oh dear. £35 as well. Rather ripped off

NOOOOOOOO they cant do that!!!!!!!!, if i see anyone wearing a sonic youth shirt who dosent know who they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
IT MAKES ME SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess that's it then, this whole board might as well pack up and go, nothing left here, it's all been sold... :(

Kill him and his parents!

they were bound to come into the public consciense sooner or later this year cus they#re together 25 years. Be prepared for the NME to claim "the coolest band ever is sonic youth, here's a sonic youth 25th anniversary issue. oh yeah and we ALWAYS loved them"

Check out this wanker!

yeah i posted about this a while ago. you can get them in sequins and glitter as well. topshop is also running a line of t shirts that say confusion is sexy.

SWEET JESUS... I'M BLIND.
this is worse than that pic of Fred Durst in a SY shirt.
i love his stance... look at him, fair funny...
woke up today, threw on my new shirt.. "hey man.. like your new shirt" .."thanks man - has some sort of kinda punk statement on it, not sure what it means... maybe all the youth are going... i dunno...sonic?"

i've seen a few goo parodies around, local clothing companies and shit

I'm never going to wear a Sonic Youth T-Shirt in my life, ever...

next we'll see mass produced jolie youth shirts

Bastard!He should die.I normally wouldn't care much but that is pure and simple sacrilege.There is Karma somewhere,i'm sure.

I saw someone from Busted wearing a sonic youth t shirt a while back.

Again, I must wonder, why are we so concerned with how others present themselves?

If you get upset over an ignoramus wearing an SY t-shirt, that must mean they're undermining your intentions behind wearing one. I can certainly understand fashion choices representing your personal tastes, but at what point do they become advertisements, visual testimonials to your purported individualism?

If you're concerned about others' justification for wearing an SY shirt, that must mean you believe others are concerned about why YOU wear one, and really, what reaction are you hoping to incite? That, with the donning of an article of clothing, the world shall know henceforth that YOU are a true SY fan, and therefore intellectually superior to your fellow man? That you're underground, anti-hip, avant-garde, trailblazing, the epitome of carelessly cool?

In short, what do you care if "posers" are wearing an SY shirt? At the end of the day, they're the ones that have to live with their mindless marketing digestion, their fallaciousness. If you truly embraced the ideals behind the music you listened to, you wouldn't be concerned with the image you or anyone else present, as long as you were true to your own identity.

*Edit: I used "concern" far too many times there. A pre-emptive 'bite me.'

i couldn't be bothered to post in this thread, because i'm apathetic to the whole thing, but now i'm posting to say "what she said"

I agree with those two above and i have to say that sarcasm is wasted on threads like this.

way to change your tune.... "i was being sarcastic"

If people ar prepared to pay £35 to promote a band they've never heard of then that's their problem.

And I agree with truncated, of course.

It concerns me when I feel as though I am a walking endorsement of something that is associated in the public eye with Fred Durst. Just saying what I feel.

Do you want a fight miss?Feeling rather touchy-feely today?

durst schmurst. i doubt the general populace keeps tabs on fred durst's t-shirt wearing antics.

I find it amusing. Wouldn't take it seriously.

i saw a girl one day at a gig i was djing in and she was wearing one of those topshop mc5 shirts as sported by jennifer anniston. i said "cool shirt". she said "yeah , i know, i feel a bit of a fool cuz i never even seen the FILM".

i politely smiled and said the word "anyway............."

haha! Who the hell hasn't seen the mc5 film???

I haven't.But i remember watching the Velvet Underground ballet thinking that it realy sounded like 'Gone with the Wind'.

I hate this kind of shit. Imagine, a band that I like ACTUALLY GETTING EXPOSURE TO PEOPLE OTHER THAN SAD LONELY MEN WITH MACINTOSHES AND AN INTERNET FIXATION. It's disgusting.

[check, 1, check check... la la la bebebe doo doo dooo... take 2]

Isn't the artwork not SY's in the first place? Does the t-shirt even say SY on it? Can anyone seriously be bothered to care about this for more than 30 seconds? Should you worry if you can? Yes.

Your typing time for that post must have been like 29.5 seconds. Congratulations. Can't rep you again.

I agree.
