So, I work downtown, and my job has me walking around all day. I have been doing it for almost a year now, and for the first time that I can think of, I say someone wearing a shirt with an Afx logo. I was going to say something, but then I decided not to. anywys, anybody ever see something like that and start up a conversation or anything? This is a pretty big city, but seeing people wearing idm stuff is rare. |

i used to comment on every industrialish t shirt i saw because i was really into that kind of music when i was like 15. people usually reacted defensively, and when i say people i mean men. must have been the whole being-approaced-by-a-15-year-old-girl factor; probably doesn't make you look very cool. |

Clubs are different though... people will wear stuff like that hoping to start a conversation... same with live shows. |

Never seen an idm shirt, but was going to make one. I cant find plain black or white tees that are small enough though. :[ They are all either the wrong fabric, have designs on them all ready, or would make me look eehhh 'frumpy' is the word ha :) I am not frumpy! >8( |

usually you have to go to the shop where ppl put pressings on the tshirts..they have blank tee'z. |

Everytime I wear my AFX shirt, people talk to me less than usual. I hate this town. |
||||||||
|
|

I would beat them up and then watch on the internets to laugh at them making a topic about someone beating them up for being a knob jockey AFX T Shirt wearing gobshite. |

well I was buying a CD in HMV and the guy behind the till was like "that's a good album" and I was like "Oh, you an aphex fan?" to which he replied "yeh but I'm more of a squarepusher man myself." There was a little chat and that was it. Felt good though to see there are "IDM" fans around and about. |

another time: I was walking along the street drunk with my friend at about 1am and I saw a guy sitting in his room with 'big headphones' on. His window was open and I shouted at him. I said "what you listening to?" he said "chemical brothers." I then said, "Do you know aphex twin?" to which he replied "umm yes." I then said "do you know drukqs?" to which he replied "no." I said "check it out" and off I trotted. |

Last year I travelled by train and was wearing my purple warp t-shirt. A crusty commented on it, saying he was well into Aphex Twin and Autechre a few years back. I said: Yes, they are quite good. That's the only time I've talked to someone because of my t-shirt...actually there was another time I talked to the guy who's in charge of distributing warp in Norway. But we discussed the Warp reflective print tees and how to best preserve them in wash(!) |
