We all love T-shirts when it comes to music bands

By: Clint Jhonson

Frankly, can you name anybody that truly does not love T-shirts? Even the most sober, uptight person you see walking down the street wearing a complicated outfit wishes he or she was wearing nothing but a T-shirt, because it is the regular sign of comfort.

Out of all the options, a very interesting T-shirts design is the black concert T-shirt. As associated sometimes to black metal fashion or to punk fashion (generally popular among rock lovers of all sorts), such T-shirts represent a fashion trend usually connected with attending rock concerts. The practice has spread from the seventies until the present day, thanks to all sorts of musical groups that resort to these as a form of advertising. They either give these T-shirts away or sell them, in order to promote their band at all sorts of events including official releases and concerts.

The T-shirts design is generally simple, black, with contrasting graphics in the front as well as in the back. Although now a part of any fan’s everyday wardrobe, worn generally with jeans, but also with dark pants or skirts, fans generally love T-shirts of this kind because they are great for wearing at concerts. People may choose to wear them to performances belonging to similar bands as the one displayed on the T-shirt, thus showing affiliation to a specific genre. On the other hand, they may choose to wear them at an opposing band’s concert, as a sign of affection towards the band on the T-shirt and disapproval of the performing band.

A distinct T-shirts design also played an important role in punk fashion, especially at its beginnings. Generally aggressive, a successful punk T-shirt had to be offensive and shocking at the same time. Most of them wore signs of deliberate tearing and perhaps staining with paint, preferably red, showing messages such as “Destroy”, sometimes chaotically, sometimes with simplicity, in the middle. Punk fans still love T-shirts with anarchy symbols or other types of similar slogans.

A contrast in the T-shirts design area intervened around the mid 1980s, when the anti-fashion sub-genre of hardcore punk began to emerge. Bands like Minor Threat and Bad Brains were among the pioneers of the genre. By this time, everything was already second-hand and not exactly very shock-oriented. Political and social messages remained, but their writing took advantage of markers.

In addition, black concert T-shirts stayed popular in their turn, although quite faded and used. After all, people did still love T-shirts, regardless of the changing times. Moreover, the hardcore punk movement helped take slogans that one could find on T-shirts belonging to bands like the Sex Pistols to a higher level of better understanding (such as “NO FUTURE”, a somewhat political statement made in the Sex Pistols’ song “God Save the Queen”). Sometimes, the similar band names or slogans appeared as manually written on the tails of plaid shirts.

The anti-fashion tendency associated with hardcore punk went even further, and by the late 1980s, both males and females wore extremely simple outfits centered on plain T-shirts with low-cost shoes and simple jeans. However, owning a T-shirt with the logo of a beloved band is a punk habit that lives on to this very day. This applies successfully to the latest hardcore (which eventually evolved out of hardcore punk), regardless of its subgenres (what is outrageous in one area of hardcore may very well be completely acceptable in another, but band T-shirts remain popular regardless of other factors).

Think back to the paintings of the classical painters wearing their collarless shirts with roomy, billowing sleeves. Compare that to the button-down shirts worn as formal attire in the twentieth century.
