I know that your clothing is probably going to be influenced by whatever music you're listening to, but i was wondering if anyone has anything special or particular for concerts.

Often whilst there, i'll notice a lot of people dressing up for the occasion, in some pretty funky outfits (namely to stand out from the crowd, i imagine

).

Last few concerts for me have just been my standard black shorts and my now (in)famous Golden State #15 Sprewell singlet

(which i've had for about 8 years and it's had some good and bad history/memories with it

) Plus (random) people have recognised me (from previous events/places), and if i get seperated from my crew

they can usually find me easily; so i must stand out a bit?

I would probably go shirtless but i don't want to come across as one of those kinda Tough Guys

Now getting to a little side gripe of mine. Concert T-Shirts. IF you purcahse a generic concert t-shirt on the night of the concert, do not fucking wear it on THAT night. OK?

You see, with about 6000+ people (sorta average?) at a show, a lot of them (maybe 50% ) are going to get a shirt as well, to support the band and all, show admiration, loyalty...yadda, yadda

So now, quite often you'll hvae thousands of people walking around with the same shirt, which is funny and sad at the same time. But generally just frustrating, cuz evryone looks the fucking same!

So remember kids

, no wearing your newly bought concert shirts at that concert. Also, you SHOULD be dancing and getting active at these events, so you'll be perspiring all over your nice new shirt!

I went to A Perfect Circle last friday, and the Concert Shirt Sheep Syndrome was evident

As for wearing a music shirt, in general, i am undecided about what you're actually portraying, when you wear the same band you're seeing that night's shirt (eg. if i was to wear A Perfect Circle shirt, to the perfect circle concert?)

Obviously i like them, cause i am at the concert! Whoda Thunk It?. It makes more sense to wear another bands shirt (most likely, in a similar vein to that band playing; for my exmaple, Tool etc would be apt

), of whom you like to let everyone else know where you're coming from etc. Unless i am missing the point of the music shirt, in general?

of course there's no rules for what you can and can't wear, but it pays to keep stuff in mind

anyway, discuss whatever

i think i maybe should of made this a journal entry?
