Most people form their interests from an early age, these interests are been catered to by big corporations so it makes sense. The people in band t shorts now while grow into the old people you mentioned and then it will fall out of fashion.

AllForIt

What's a band t-shirt? ( edit, oh a rock band, duh.)

My adult friend and I used to enjoy playing a golf game on Playstation. Competing against each other. And I love Tomb Raider, but not an avid gamer.

I don't think grown men like superheros per se, it's the movies they like. Bit of an X-Men movie fan myself. Many superhero movie are in fact pure garbage it has to said.

Lamé is making a comeback this season I see

Beards.

Used to be only old men, smelly rockers and Geography teachers/Sinn Fein leaders who sported the full face warmer.

Now it’s every second man. Although I think the trend has peaked and Is starting to die off.

Badly Drunk Boy

I've always been into music, going to gigs since I was a teenager but I've never worn a band t-shirt. My friend who usually goes to gigs with me nearly always buys a band t-shirt at a gig, and he's 50 now. Different people are into different stuff...

The computer games thing is a newer one all right. I'm mid thirties and would have been part of one of the first generations of home console owners (in Ireland, at least) from the time I was 6 or 7 years old. I grew up with them, to me they're as normal as going to see a movie. I'll always be into gaming, on some level.

Wearing band t shirts has always been the hip thing to do

Tattoos. Where considered only for scumbags and now everyone has their unique tribal or sleeve tat. Can't wait till they go back out of fashion, it's not the 1st time having tats is popular.

At least us middle aged fat rockers actually know the bands that are on our t-shirts. Was talking to a friends daughter recently.....she's about 19 or so. Commented on her Ramones t-shirt - she hadn't a feckin clue who they were!

I still have my battle vest and would wear it with pride if there were any gigs to go to.

Battle Vest :D:D

Reminds me of Saxondale

beards make everyone look the same, especially fat guys with beards. There is a guy who i cant stand, a fat guy with a beard, so i keep thinking i see him everywhere but its just another fat guy with a beard lol

Penney's were selling Ramone's t-shirts worn by young ones who wouldn't be able to name one of their songs, about 15 years ago. I think you're a bit late to the party with the band t-shirts being cool for youths again.

Lord of the Rings was for nerds only before the films came out.
Same with GOT. Although a lot of fans of the series and films don't bother reading the books.

Pyr0

I've worn band t-shirts since I was a young teenager and I still do. In fact, I probably have more t-shirts/long-sleeves than I do pairs of jocks as this stage.

Music is a big part of my life and the band t shirts go hand in hand for me, so I hope my interest in them doesn't fade "as i get older"

Archeron

Home brew. When my da used to it many years ago, it was because it was cheaper than buying beer, not because he like the microparticles that infused in it under the stairs.

Big tin of brown gooey stuff, some white powder and about 80 litres of water in a big drum, leave to fester in a dark place for six months, then bottle it in whatever you can find including beerbottles, jam jars and pickled onion jars . Best served with a grimace and a full ashtray.

I found the fact you could buy Metallica tees in Penneys a couple years ago beyond depressing.

A lot of trendy young women are knitting now, that used to be the preserve of the little old lady.

Lads wearing earrings.

I agree with you there, nothing worse than seeing a classic metal/rock band become part of popular fashion.

Do you mean Penney's was selling Ramones tshirts 15 years ago? Because I saw some in Penney's about a year ago.

Jedward haircuts and huge quiffs ...very tight jeans for men.

Chunky Caterpillar eyebrows are now in. Have been for a few years I guess at this point. I don't understand it. What was wrong with the 90's eyebrow.

I read a bit of the hobbit ...honestly it seemed like they were in a forest for the entire book and that was it. That was the story.

A lot of young girls have thick eyebrows and long term plucking actually ruins them permanently. So for them the trend was a necessity. But then girls with thinner eyebrows started drawing them in ...in that overly blocked way....some are getting a better hang of it now.

But if you don't have naturally bushy brows its harder to do.

Also a lot of MUAS told older women it will make them look younger which is bs ...being younger makes you look younger.

Its a trend tho ..it will change. Hopefully people will just go with what their own brows do tho instead of messing around.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, looks more stupid on a woman’s face than changing her eyebrows From natural to bushy/HD/etc etc etc.

Modern fake lips are ridiculous looking. Christ. People on fashion shows don’t reflect what most people wear/look like.

But it reflects an urge to be EXTRA ...different.

Pink hair was once ridiculous. Now its common place.

Fashion shows change what people were. I mean the materials used. Or the outline.

I mean if you had shown skinny jeans on men at one point that would be ..ridic ....and they came from the catwalk.

There are those that don't want to look like everyone else. And when they get it 'just right ' 'like so' ..then everyone else wants to look like them.

That is the way it works.

Sandles with socks and crocs are both fashionable at best and inoffensive at worst nowadays. What a reversal in fortunes.

sasta le

If you think that's bad, try reading The Old Man and The Sea.
It can put you comatose in ten minutes.

In all fairness it’s 127 page in a half size book. Not much longer than 10 minutes to read. I loved it though. As told by Santiago the sentences were short and simple. But that’s the complexity. And that’s what made Hemingway a genius.
