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.'
