hmm? comments?
This is sort of a rant of a noticed thing...
Maybe I'm just weird, but I've noticed a few of the bands that have been around for a while, in this case, terror, madball, sworn enemy, I was feelin
all of their older merch designs, now out of print mostly, now it seems all of the bands, their new merch designs just suck. Is it because they are
trying to appeal to the new generation of scenester-ish hardcore kids or something? I'm not into it at all. I've gotten bigger over the last year or
so and now nothing fits me, I have to sell alotta the older merch I own only to find none of the bands make it at all anymore even though they were
good sellers and everyone loved the shit. I understand they need to have new designs and keeping older ones in print all the time might be a waste of
money, but wtf cut the shit designs and bring some hard shit back! I could be just crazy on this but from a designer's perspective I'm seeing shit
lately. Just not into the style at all.
Comments???

I find too many bands, particularly some you mentioned, leaning towards the "urban thug" style in their merch and I won't let any of that shit touch
my skin.

Ghetto wear is shit haha. I haven't found a decent band shirt in over a year that I liked.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

Honestly, I think all of the bands mentioned in this thread are worthless shit, but a friend showed me some of the new Terror shirts because they were
so ridiculous, so I knda know what you're talking about. That shit looked like shit that belongs on some 80's high school metal head's class folder or
something. Seriously cheeseball designs with corny fucking slogans like Spit My Rage under crappy looking dragons and shit like that. As for the urban
thug look, when can we lose the moronic gang bullshit already?
