I hate buying any clothing with a brand name visible, but for certain types of item like sports clothes it’s almost impossible.

Buy Chinese knockoffs, they are cheaper and have random brand names. Lol
I just want plain coloured t shirts / abstract geometric patterns without annoying words!
Oh my god its so fucking annoying!
Maybe I can grift a nice bounty developing AR glasses which patch out all the brands on clothes and places in real-time.
Just wait till the corpos have their hands on that, theyll make it do the opposite
Don't forget to put a brand logo on them so that others can easily see it.
I don’t run Adblock because I hate brands, I use it because the internet is more invasive by the day.
If one day I go to put on my shirt and another company sewed their logo over the neck hole, well then we’ll have a similar issue.
I use it because that increasing invasiveness really messes with my ADHD. Ads make me spend extra energy and concentration to filter to what I want (and I won't buy their crap anyway).
You go to reach for a coffee and the wrist hole of your sleeve suddenly accordions over your entire hand as an ad unfurls from your shoulder.
I open the toilet seat to have a pee, a three foot flag unfurls from the ceiling, ITS HONDAFEST!
A small corporate social media account emerges from the bowl, screaming relatable phrases it copied from r/memes. ITS GIVING SAVINGS, FAM NO CAP.
My wife enters asking if I'm ok. I reach out for her, too late, she has become a smiling vacant eyed Summer's Eve ad. Not so fresh, I weep.
The future of neurolink.
Change that to a hat with a stage musical logo, and a metal band shirt, and this is me.
But when it comes to clothes, I can choose which ads I serve :)
Wearing band logos are very different to wearing brand logos. A band logo stands for something that you love, a brand is just capitalist nihilism; completely meaningless except signaling how much your garment costs and perhaps that you are stupid enough to believe that buying a certain brand says something about you or aligns you with something. Branding is for cattle.
I have a shirt that says Democracy Delivers with a picture of a plane dropping bombs...it's not a band shirt but I think it's as neat as my band shirts...but truth be told Grindcore band shirts are usually pretty off-putting visually but most of the time strive to actually make a point
I'm generally pretty covered in metal (and punk for the last couple years) band logos. It's less of a side effect of buying clothing and more of a choice to directly support artists while giving them free advertising.
Don't know what I was getting at tbh, I agree with you.
Why do I know you have a Mastadon shirt..
Nah I liked the first album but I'm really more of a Thrash/OSDM kinda guy, the progressive stuff doesn't really appeal to me at all anymore.
Oh kind sir...I love anything from Morrisound Studios and Scott Benson.. you should check out Kill Division...it's got ex Malevolent Creation folks
That's really good! Thanks for the rec!
Absolutely my man...I am going to presume you are well versed with Misery Index and Dying Fetus..if not definitely check them out. There's a decent Death metal band out of Philly called Abortion Survivor you can find on bandcamp
