      @ZackB I ordered another box by mistake, so now I have two lifetime's worth.

          Cannot stand this cropped oversized boxy tshirt trend with the youths these days. Like, when people are cutting a shirt to a raw hem that is just too short. Especially combined with the baggy jeans trend. Not loose fitting jeans, but the full on Jnco vibes. Hard yuck on all of that nonsense.

          IHSH-20-Red, XL
          IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL

            @chrisjohnnick i agree in principal that it looks silly but as an avid thrifter I'm all for it.

            Kids are passing up 60s-70s western and workwear on the racks in favor of cringey stuff i wore in high school ....

                  I embrace it. I’m always peeking out the blinds to see what’s up out in the street. I yelled at some kids who took too much candy from our neighbors bowl this Halloween.

                    @GraemeE I mostly get bummed about it when I'm thrifting or at somewhere like Buffalo Exchange. I'm flipping through tees and find an awesome vintage one, only to see that someone has poorly cropped it and passed it on.

                    I feel like I did a similar thing 20 years ago when everyone wanted super slim shirts, and I took some of my older band tees and tapered the sides and sleeves in. Wish I could undo that and have them back in their original size!

                              If I never hear the B-52s again for the rest of my life it'll be too soon. Also, Frank Sinatra sounds like mothballs smell.

                                @seawolf I feel the same way about the carpenters. Elevator music at its worst. It's so bland and vanilla it's offensive

                                    I have no major issues with the B-52s but seeing them listed as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame candidates tickles an old grievance of mine: who the fuck does the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame think they are and what is the logic behind their inclusions and exclusions? If they want to call it the Popular Music Hall of Fame it makes more sense for them to include stuff from unrelated genres, but even so they have really bad taste, knowledge, and judgment.

                                    It’s just an arbitrary, self-anointed circle jerk and they can all fuck right off.

                                      @mclaincausey You're not wrong. But I guess it begs the question, what is rock and roll? Where is the line drawn? And if there's a band that's dead-center on the rock and roll spectrum, who is it? And how far away from that band at the center can we go before we start getting into pop music or other genres?

                                            @mclaincausey the Hall of Fame used to be a personal pet project for a small group of people playing favourites for the bands they like. It was never about objectively looking at the merits of any band, regardless of the genre they're playing.

                                            It’s just an arbitrary, self-anointed circle jerk and they can all fuck right off.

                                            This summarizes it perfectly
