ha aha tripping on the nipple safety pins. it is funny, i think my boyfriend would dig it, but i couldn't wear it. nice execution.

ughhh emo....

i'd buy it

thats not emo...

^^^ Someone only thinks he knows what emo means.

emo? punk?

i'm not sure anyone in this post knows what either means.

is it possible for one to be a genre of music?

'punk' perhaps...not 'punk rock'...

:) Emo is a wave in the early 80's but i think it has restyled nowdays. I know you guys all got to say but it comes now with a different meaning. Everybody nowdays say "Well i BELIEVE that bla.." that only the consequentes of the word believe in the oldays. Things changed dudes. And uhm I won't wear it though. Maybe with a real tie ;)

yeah.... METAL

i love it when you people discuss the most pointless crap in the world... I dont want this shirt because avril lavyne or whoever she is would already be wearing it

not my style but i like the words in the tie.

looks like "I am nit punk rick"

I like it, but it'd look better without the safety pins.

Now if only someone would send that shirt to Billie Joe Armstrong...

I don't like the saftey pins, particularly the symmetry thereof. I would like it some better if they both slanted up and to the right, but really I'd rather them not be.

c'mon now, not even billie joe armstrong would wear that...

I think you should put a small hole in the "O"s to make it easier to read. but Im not that big a fan of the safter pins...

I think one saftey pin would be fine, but not both, I still like the idea of the shirt.

safety pinned nipples

hee hee

I thought the ROCK said RICK until
I read the title.

sexy

I agree with everyone else; lose at least one of the safety pins.

Drop one safety pin, and it'd be a whole lot better.

haha i love you.
and i agree; only one pin.
i'd buy it.
$5

hott safety pins. lololol

so not interested in having safety pins on my boobies.

^^ the pins make the shirt

to pink

lankytom, i really don't know what you're trying to point out unless it's irony.

oh this shirt, how awesome. what if you put the saftey pins over the o's?

the pins are weirding me out...

this isn't emo or punk its another whored trend

0

the safety pins are too close to the nipples

Wow, lots of controversy... cool. Lankytom and Cody are both actually on the right track, even though he gave me a 0. This shirt was directed at the punk trend perpetuated by stores like Hot topic. Even though the movement began as a rebellion, it's become packaged and merchandised into a joke.

The shirt is done in a psuedo punk style in order to lampoon those people who go to these stores, wear the styles and listen to the music just to fit in. The nipple pins (which are most controversial it would seem) are meant to poke a bit of extra fun at the whole idea.

Finally, yes it does look like I am nit punk rick, now that I look at it, but I'm not bothered by it too much. Thanks for all of the comments, keep them coming!

I do like the tie, but wouldn't wear it with the pins (i'd be too worried about people looking at me tata's). 4.

interesting, intersecting.

LOL agreed with whoever who said METAL

METAL FTW!!!

Wow
its greenday all over again

love the tie design. would'nt wear it on a t though

Get rid of one bobby pin and I will love

Wow... I actually Love this shirt.


But I don't like where the pins are.

Maybe down at the bottom is better?

Still $5

yes get rid of one of the safety pins. having 2 makes it looks like nipples.

This design has been done before.

get rid of (or move) the safety pins and i'd wear in a heartbeat.

I LOVE THIS TOP!

OMFG GET THIS INTO PRINT!!!!

Can you tell I like it yet??!!!

$5$5$5$5$5!!!

JaiB!

Re: comment from twangd

Simply put, Green Day are not punk rock, at least not in the traditional sense of the "genre" (which was, admittedly, used primarily as a marketing term in order to affiliate a style of music with the anti-establishment street movements in England and America in the 70s). Certainly, Billie Joe &co. draw heavily from the well of punk and new wave bands from the 70s and 80s (spec. Still Little Fingers, though more from their early, pre-pop work, as bits of latter SLF bear a startling resemblance to Culture Club). As such, current "punk" rock in the vein of Green Day, Bad Religion, and Rancid is more of a pastiche, an adaptation of the hyper-political DIY punk ethos, neutered to the point that it's become more of an agnst-ridden music-as-fashion statement than an ideology. Sure, some of the underground acts may have more vitriol and self-aware swagger than the upstart corporate whores with their SUVs and McMansions, but even they are part and parcel of a business geared toward the worshipping of the almighty dollar.

Not that making a buck is a bad thing, I just take issue with bands who adopt an anti-establishment stance when they themselves are helping to perpetuate said establishment. Consider: Green Day is signed with Reprise, a subsidiary of the Warner Music Group, which is one of the four largest record companies in the world and a principle member of the RIAA, and as such is directly responsible for the on-going price-gouging of records and frivolous file-sharing lawsuits.

It's kinda hard for Billie Joe &co. to say "fuck the Man" and mean it when the Man is the one signing their checks and promoting their gigs.

(End soapbox diatribe.) So, delightfully appropriate t-shirt, Mythsnlore, even if it's aimed more at the Hot Topic mall-punk crowd than the truly unaware "punks." Wearable sarcasm duly noted and appreciated.

make that Stiff Little Fingers... bollocks...

I was about to type something else saying it only would appeal to people who like the lame tie trend.....especially girls who like the lame tie trend. Ugh.

But then I realized the fact it says "I'm not punk rock" on the tie...and those people who really aren't punk rock would be (hypothetically) wearing it. Bahaha. Yay.

I won't wear it though, don't want to be 'another girl who is wearing a tie thinking she is avant garde'

hahahaha "I am nit punk rick"

what's with the boobie pins?!

love the pins

Nice idea, though it does read a little like what that there industrial royalty pointed out. Typo kills.
