Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 20/02/2024Daughter tells me she heard today that if you wear a band T-shirt (especially as a young woman) and a man says to you “name five of their songs”, the correct response is “name five women who trust you”, so I pass this on in case any of you need it 7664752393
Daisy Moon @thedaisymoon.me · 21/02/2024My answer has been "Wait, it's a band ?" for ages now, and I particularly love it when it's a very well known band. 0101
NoHomers @nohomers.bsky.social · 22/02/2024Woo hoo! I would pass. Although I would also never ask that question of a woman. 100
Trengerkaffe @trengerkaffe.bsky.social · 21/02/2024Yep, those guys one must consider to be at 99,9% chance of being arrogant _____. Personally I solve it by not wearing band T-shirts, but a few unavoidable that jap away about bands and songs. Those are not to be confused with the nice dates where one play through some of eachothers favourites. 020
S. @girltalk.bsky.social · 21/02/2024One can also just keep walking. Most young women quickly learn idiots love engagement. 070

Travels With Brindle is still composing a silent movie score @travelswithbrindle.bsky.social · 21/02/2024I very jokingly did this to a librarian who was wearing a Nirvana sweatshirt. She looked at me and said “Endless Nameless, Territorial Pissings, and Pay to Play.” She knew I was busting her chops and still went for the obscure tracks. 040
Thaily @thaily.bsky.social · 21/02/2024I've been wearing game merch to try and lure people into demanding I talk about my special interests, no luck yet. 010
SinisterBulb @sinisterbulb.bsky.social · 21/02/2024Brilliant. I’m telling my daughter this. 😂. Mind you she can always name 10 songs, and the sequence on the album… 000

Gray Vieth🇨🇦 @grayvieth.bsky.social · 21/02/2024If I ask someone( anyone) about their shirt is “ cool shirt” or what are you favourite tracks of their. I might have missed it. Never to belittle, my daughter gets it a lot with PF shirts, she like the design. 110

Mark Armstrong @fabricatus.com · 21/02/2024I wear T-shirts with the Dark Side Of The Moon album cover on it because it looks so awesome and I haven't a clue about Pink Floyds song titles. People should just stop being dicks to each other, really. 000

Steve May @stevemaythe1st.bsky.social · 21/02/2024& as an follow up - if they’re wearing camouflage gear you can ask them if they’ve ever been in a war! 020
Sophie Mac @sophiemac.bsky.social · 21/02/2024That's a great coneback. But, on the other hand, I do think if you're wearing a t-shirt you should know why. Those Ramones t-shirts on people who don't know the Ramones... 100

KevinMagoo72 @kevinmagoo72.bsky.social · 20/02/2024Just picturing the sort of horrendous bastard who would demand you name five songs. It's the pony-tail guy from Good Will Hunting, right? 4671
Hwaet @cog1.bsky.social · 21/02/2024I tend to go with “fuck off you absolute twat", but that’s just me. But I am no longer young and have no fucks to give. 11322
scribbleghoul @scribblegurl.bsky.social · 21/02/2024She's nicer than me. My response would employ many, many permutations of a phrase utilizing the F-word. 0210

Paul Murray @renebatt.bsky.social · 20/02/2024That happened my daughter, who was wearing a ( stolen from Dad) Frank Zappa t- shirt. She gave him about a dozen songs, told him “Cruising With Ruben and the Jets” was her favourite album, but she also liked “Joe’s Garage“. The guy left her alone.. 51081
Tanya. @tanyaduncan.bsky.social · 21/02/2024I’m now tempted to buy all the shirts I didn’t dare as a teen because of Dudes. I’m invisible, as I’m over 40 and fat, but I’ve shed my fucks and am wholly ready to perform my favs at anyone who asks. 1220

Mary C @maco415.bsky.social · 21/02/2024I used to work at a baseball team merch store and at least once a week a man would demand that I explain the infield fly rule. I’d do it then ask if I should explain again slowly if he still didn’t get it 0180
M. Velez @thunderstick.bsky.social · 21/02/2024Hear me out... When asked just start spouting gibberish. Just complete random word combinations. "Can you name 5 Bowie songs?" "Oh sure, big time fan. Lessee... There's: 1. Huluhu Fruit Loops 2. Cat Shit Blues 3. Man-Witch And Wizdress 4. Taco Thursdays 5. Flight Of The Hippo" And just stare. 010

Amanda.Tucker.bsky.social 🪬🖕✊ @esotericguiddess.bsky.social · 21/02/2024Proud early millennial here and this stuff happened even 20 years ago. Gatekeeping isn’t a new thing, but we have become more conscious of how gross it is and how it causes strife in society. Best thing to do is know your ish and be condescending right back 😂 000

Worried Turtle @anxioustortoise.bsky.social · 21/02/2024If I see someone wearing a band shirt that I'm familiar with I'll just be like "I love your shirt! My favorite song is ..." And go from there. That's literally it. 010
