Obscure
Why not show off your extensive music knowledge with a band shirt? If you catch yourself mentioning an obscure band that likely no one has ever heard of before, then this option is for you. Again, you don’t want to be called out for not actually listening to the band, so don’t go out buy any weird tee. Don’t be that guy, my dudes. Also, this just offers me an excuse to rave about Tones On Tail. They’re such an underrated post-punk group, you guys!
