Do people still bug you about your concert t-shirts / music?

I get it occasionally but I usually just ignore it. There was a time when I was in high school that my Metal Church "The Dark" t-shirt caused quite a stir.

I think back in the day, Mike was a member of the group. After the split, he became a producer. Instead of having a say in the process, like he once did, he now sat back and just did what he was told. Some songs were great, but overall most of them were weak. Too bad. Just listen to Project Deadman; he's clearly capable of creating those really cool, old school-sounding tracks.

I made the mistake of just buying the recent Dark Lotus album.

i dont think i have had any complaints though some of us at work like to tell each others musical taste sucks. he listens to hipster metal and i listen to a load of seventies stuff

There's definately more serious stuff in this shitty world to get hung up on than what shirts people wear. So I cant be bothered by those sort of people. I'm not going to like people's dress sense alot of the time, but who am I to tell them how they should be? I hate tattoo's for example, but obviously alot of others think the opposite.

I hear sh*t all the time about how I dress. But then again this is my everyday work and home attire:

I really can't fathom going up to a stranger and confronting them about something they are wearing. One time I took a class where this woman sat in front of me always wearing a Marilyn Manson shirt with some shocking statement or image on the back. Didn't really like having it stare me in the face for an hour - but never once did I ever think I should confront her. I figured she probably didn't care for what I was wearing as well.

The only time I ever remember someone approaching me about a concert shirt was for my Bad Brains Banned in D.C. one. The women in her fifties wanted to know if I had done the art work myself because she liked it. Very strange conversation.

In a similar vain, I've retired my Iowa Hawkeyes hat due to always being asked by all the snowbirds/retirees who come to Arizona where in Iowa I'm from. I liked the hat for the colors and logo even though my grandparents and dad are actually from Iowa. I say the small town that they are from and no matter that the people who asked are from the other end of the state it is like we are long lost neighbors. Fine in certain situations but when you're in a hurry it got to be a bit much and way too regular of a happening.

When I was in school, people usually liked the metal t-shirts that I wore. I might have a had a few times people questioned me about them. I wore a Kreator "Endless Pain" t-shirt one night when I started a job and some of the workers thought it was kind of funny. I only have one metal t-shirt right now, but I never wear it because it's too small now. Have to get some new ones.

I never got into dark lotus. I saw the new album when it came out and I had a feeling it wasnt good.

I ususally get no reaction whatsoever to my cocert t-shirts or music. I get the occasional preppy who will stick out his tounge, give me the horns, and growls (mockingly of course) but it just makes them look like retards. I used to be able to wear t-shirts at Wal-Mart but they instituted a uniform policy. Because I'm overnight I can wear jeans and but only a solid blue shirt (from regular blue to navy blue). I still wear my rock shirts under my uniform shirts (from both jobs) and wear them off the clock (i.e. lunch, breaks, etc.). I would love to have a job where I can dress my own way again but it may never happen again (at least it was fun while it lasted).

Well, I literally destroy my ears with the music I listen to, wearing gigantic headphones that could pass as computer speakers, and my music at full volume. So, people bug me all the time about turning my music down, but have the time I can't even hear them. Sometimes, I can't even hear myself talk.
