[QUOTE="Burnsy:1171354"][QUOTE="Boozegood:1171347"][QUOTE="Alx_Casket:1171335"]I don't understand this larger issue of getting pissed when merchandising escalates. You don't see anyone getting mad when a band starts printing shirts, who really cares? I have seen kvlt bands print their logos on leather jacket shoulder straps, is that taking it too far? Is that too "scene"? Wearing a logo is just a conduit for making a statement, whether it be a band, a designer, or your favorite sports team. If your favorite band's merch gets sold at hot topic, who cares? Hopefully the profits are going to the right hands, and all that money won't inspire them to write a horrible follow-up album from "selling out."[/QUOTE] It's about defending something you believe in from becoming a mockery of itself due to the invasion of irony-worshiping cowards who are to afraid to actually stand by anything in a sincere, passionate way. [/QUOTE] Totally with Alx on this one. If you're bashing the hipster black metal whatever bullshit, your argument is reminiscent of the hipster cliche, "I liked such and fuck before it was cool. Such and fuck used to have integrity."[/QUOTE]
