[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know these are in, I am curious if you think they are appropriate for school or if teachers are judging the parents for the young kids wearing them.

I have asked kids over 10 who are wearing a nirvana or metallica t-shirt about the respective bands; a sizable number have no idea of the underlying music or the bands/individual muscians. (I can see the music and legacy of tupac and biggie being a bit more in these kids' cultural awareness.)

So, I don't think teachers see wearing the shirt as having any connection to the music; only an affinity to the design on the shirt.[/quote]

Letting your kids wear a band/artist shirt without knowing the music is actually the biggest parenting fail. [/quote]

The biggest one? Ok, thanks.[/quote]

I thought "of the ones related to band shirts in this thread about band shirts" was kind of obvious context[/quote]

I truly do not think that is OBVIOUS, in the case of a thread where a lot of posters are claiming that a $12 tshirt you can get at Target with the name of a band who peaked 30 years ago is "try hard." I think you have to be a lot more obvious.

And I agree that if Kid is going to wear Band Shirt, Kid needs to also listen to Band. Maybe they don't have to become the world's biggest Metallica fan, but be able to name ONE Metallica song you like if you're gonna wear a Metallica shirt to 2nd grade. But I don't think that it's edgy, offensive to people's grandparents, or "try hard" to wear a shirt, period. I do think people making judgments about this are trying pretty hard to find something to criticize.

I live in the PNW, though, where people don't take stuff like this as personally as they do in the DMV.[/quote]
