That's alot different though. Roy Lichtenstein creates visual art for no said purpose other than to be visualised. Sonic Youth create music which the music brings merchandise to advertise and support that music and the band itself. Mr. Lichtenstein (whose work is fantastic) did not create art as advertisement. If someone is wearing a Sonic Youth shirt not knowing who the fuck they are, they're supporting something they don't have a clue about and that's complete ignorance and naivity.
