Not sure I agree there:


 

No T shirt, but try convincing me these two are big Oasis fans.

It's Halloween and he's wearing a denim jacket underneath.

demonrail666 06.29.2008 06:16 PM

Do Oasis fans celebrate Halloween? Other than as an opportunity to kill goths?

acousticrock87 06.29.2008 06:17 PM

Undercover, on occasion.

demonrail666 06.29.2008 06:18 PM

I like your thinking, acoustic. Very Donnie Brasco.

acousticrock87 06.29.2008 06:20 PM

It's because Keiji Haino and KK Null aren't letting me filter my thoughts.

Cantankerous 06.29.2008 06:21 PM

i just noticed that he's got her on a leash
haha

Everyneurotic 06.29.2008 11:10 PM

it probably does, it's like lego but instead of blocks it's bad fashion bits from forgotten genres.

pbradley 06.30.2008 12:34 AM

I have no idea what the clothing fashion my record collection would indicate. I also have no idea what my clothing would suggest of my record collection.

EMMAh 06.30.2008 12:52 AM

I have no idea, honestly.

You tell me I guess, if you even know what I listen to.

I would kill myself before I walked around on a leash.

THIS.

Death & the Maiden 06.30.2008 01:03 AM

It sort of does. I usually wear band shirts, so that should give people a vague idea of what I listen to, but when I'm not wearing a band shirt I'm certain that they'll assume I listen to "indie" - Arctic Monkeys, Babyshambles, The Strokes etc. Though this is probably because of my hair.

this reminds me of my favorite license plate

I think my apparell obviously gives a clear sign that I listen to mostly Li'l Jon and Gorgoroth. Which is true.

You're the singer for Dir en grey?
 

Glice 06.30.2008 02:47 AM

I think my clothes don't give much away, but I'm pretty certain my old glasses said 'strange guitar music' and my current ones definitely say 'minimal electronica'.

well, generally i was refering to people who post on this board and are over 25, not so much humanity as a whole.

schizophrenicroom 06.30.2008 03:49 AM

i've gotten that i look like an emo scene kid before. i really don't.

This is interesting in that a lot of the bands that are talked about on here usually don't use any defined logos that you immediately associate with their name, so when you go on to design a t-shirt inspired by them the name seems almost secondary to the artwork.

this will involve more creativity and personal input and an emotional procedure, but doing the copycating art is always fun, relaxing and doesnt take much time.

*actually your records-->image thread reflects how our minds work to get there.
(i dont think i m very clear to what i mean here..)
yeah in some occassions, it can reflect how our minds could work to get there.


You make pefect sense. The images that you associate with a record or pretty much anything are as much a reflection of yourself as a person as anything else.

Nah, you definitely don't.

king_buzzo 06.30.2008 12:32 PM

a person that i know told me that 10 minutes before he met me he saw me someplace else and he thought that i listened to mbv.

so there you go.

sweet, someone agrees! you have no idea how out of place i felt at warped tour.. it was a hundred degree day, and kids were walking around in skin-tight jeans and all black, and there i was in a cute little outfit (and every time i changed, another one).. major awkward!

✌➬ 06.30.2008 12:46 PM

I dressed like a So. Cali guy. I think I said this already.

ha ha ha i saw the website for the warped tour and laughed.

but i guess you get what you can get, huh? :D

Gulasch Noir 06.30.2008 12:59 PM

Judging by the clothes I wear I think I either come off a bit proletarian - be it the undershirt and the necklet during the summer or the shirt-sticked-into-trousers-variant at uni or work [this would mime the medium-level-civil-servant-proletarian] or as a student of the humanities with corduroy trousers and band T-Shirts.

If the proletarian look (and speech and behavior) lead people to think that I like both the original version by Billy Idol and the cover version by Scooter of Rebell yell, that I like 2 Unlimited and Queen, they are right. If the Sonic Youth-T-Shirt makes them think I like the bigger part of contemporary alternative rock music, they're wrong. A good outcome, I think.

Savage Clone 06.30.2008 01:36 PM

I think my dress code reflects an interest in Rock, but I don't think people would necessarily look at me and figure me for someone who has all the YaHoWha 13 material and an extensive UK folk collection. I take a lot of good-natured ribbings for my fashion choices from the corduroy-and-ironic-haircut crowd I hang with.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 06.30.2008 01:38 PM

Not really

girlgun 06.30.2008 02:01 PM

i get teased about looking goth or rockabilly. i don't dress like either actually. i've got pretty standard things i wear. black shirts (sometimes red or something else), black skirts and tall black shoes...from strappy heels to boots. i always wear red lipstick and i'm pale. i've got no idea what i look like i listen to... but i do know my personal "dresscode" is pretty much how i've always been.

Savage Clone 06.30.2008 02:04 PM

You have every Cramps bootleg and B-side, admit it.

I hang with noise people who, on the whole, smell funny.

Everyneurotic 06.30.2008 02:16 PM

don't noise people, especially in the u.s., have beards?

Savage Clone 06.30.2008 02:20 PM

OH YES

floatingslowly 06.30.2008 02:21 PM

my record collection doesn't match, so yes.
