1) The color choices rock.

2) This design is like Sesame Street on hallucinogens. Therefore, *hug*

Usually, when I scroll by a shirt design I don't especially like, I give a mental shrug and click onto the next design. The thing with this shirt is, it's not that I "don't especially like it," it's that if I saw a person wearing this shirt, my first reaction would be to steer away, and my second (if I walked too nearby) would be to glare intensely.

What this shirt means to me is the creepy next door neighbor dude who plays his screaming cacophony and has never thought to respect other people's senses of taste or need for sleep. The phrasing and the font speak of creepy neighbor dude's low self-esteem and a cheesy attempt at raising it. This is just the guy who will with outdated phrases hit on girls far too young for him, and who will only be confused when they spurn him.

Of course, this shirt brings several other comparable things to mind: a vagrant burnt-out rocker, shredded --maybe tarred-- vocal chords, a hand desperately grasping for talent by clawing, instead of manipulating an instrument....

But seriously, isn't this phrase non-specific to metal? In place of "metal," wouldn't "rock" or "country" work just as well (or poorly, as the case may be) in this phrase?

Ah well. I suppose if you actually like metal..., well, now you can buy a shirt to tell people you like metal.

To all those complaining: you aren't going to like every shirt. Each person who enjoys Threadless shirts I'm sure likes different prints for different reasons.

Honestly, when a shirt comes out that you're not in love with, maybe it's time to breathe a sigh of relief. If you don't like this design, hurrah for your pocketbook. There will always be more shirts, and you'll probably like some of the future prints.

People seem quick to point out shirts they don't like as a sign of
Threadless "lowering its standards," but never have any alacrity in saying "I like this shirt; it must be a sign that Threadless is refining its standards."


Eck. Didn't mean to go on so long. I'm in essay-writing mode due to finals.

And for the record, I like this shirt. I just don't have the funds to buy it.... ;.;

Can't wait until this is printed again. I know that won't happen for a while, since there are still some large guy shirts to be sold, but it doesn't hurt to be wishful!

Girly small, please!

This shirt tops my list of desired shirts from Threadless. It would be superbly awesome if this could be reprinted during the $10 sale!

The Pillow Fight hoodie has arrived! I'm joyous, truly. I was a little nervous that ordering an XS would be too small, but it fits perfectly. Now, I just have to make sure I don't shrink it in the wash....
