Whenever this topic comes up am I just shocked how many people actually follow a rule from a freaking movie. Holy crap.

I know right?

I like this comment that was posted on that YouTube clip ..

"EXACTLY! That would be like wearing a team's jersey at THEIR game! LAME! You always wear a different team's jersey."

Sounds like I may be the only one but I 100% agree with it. Yell at me if you want to, but you simply don't wear the t shirt of the band your going to see. It's simple. You don't want to be that guy. I've been to hundreds of phish and dead shows and only 7 pj shows but those who wear the shirts of the band are notoriously mocked and the laughing stock of the fans I know.

To each his own though. Gotta say I was guilty of it once, but once feeling like an asshole was enough. I do like the guy who's like 60 wearing the band shirt, though. It's kinda sad actually, but hilarious!

Amendment: even worse is the dude who buys the shirt AT the concert and puts it on and is looking around all proud of himself! Hahahahah! L-)

...
Another reason why I don't go to Phish Concerts... (other than thinking their music sucks).
Judegmental hippie fucks and Indie Hipster douchebags judging what other people are wearing and subjecting them to ridicule? They are PHISH Fans!!! Look in the fucking mirror... you are Phish Fans!!!
Personally, i don't care what other people are wearing... and i really don't give a fuck about what other people think about me. Especially, if it were at a Phish Concert... which I will never be at... knowing there are so many judgemental assholes in attendence.

Settle down. If you're so above judging, why judge fans of other bands so much? Oh, that's right, Ed says it as "If you hate something, don't you do it too?"

I knew people would get angry at me but it is what it is. It's a generational thing probably. I'm in my early 30's and happened to watch PCU all the time when it was on regular rotation on Comedy Central, thought it was hilarious. And the dude who thought Piven was a douche in the movie- have you seen the movie?! He steals booze and kegs from the faculty, throws huge parties with George Clinton (badass), throws meat at vegans, and rages hard- that's about as awesome as it gets! He happens to get the chick he wants and is the MAN on campus. Where'd douchebag come from in that?

Most people my age know that movie. Mos people my age who have been going to concerts for the last 20 years laugh about that EXACT line when they're at ashow and someone walks by with the band's shirt on. Does it mean one person is better than the other? Of course not. But it is funny to think that the person had 364 other days in the year to rock and show respect to the bands they like but they chose to wear it the day of the show. Go ahead and get pissed at me, I prob deserve it, but I think any band would be more psyched to see their merch on someone in line at the post office or at the grocery store than at their own gig.

Anyway, as I said before, to each his own.

Edit- and since I saw the one dude say since I'm a phish fan I must be a hippie or some crap like that I'll tell you I'm not at all a hippie and definitely not a hipster. Not even close. I just happen to enjoy their live concerts and think they're extremely talented musicians. I happen to own two restaurants and have over 70 employees who love working with me. I work over 70 hours a week and love every second of it- I even have turned several people who hate phish into avid fans, and the same for PJ. So don't go thinking anything about me because you're probably not right. I never said anything about what I thought about the person wearing the shirt, other than I thought it was hilarious, my friends mocked it, and I wouldn't do it. Sometimes going against the grain is the spice of life, people. It makes shit interesting.

I've never seen PCU and I've actually heard of this rule before the movie. But yeah, wear whatever you want.

Dude,sorry to quote you twice in one thread,but your saving me a lot of typing.You should know on these boards people get real bent out of shape over fun little things.Im in my 40s and don't think I ever have gone to a concert and not had my brother,buddies or wife for that matter not break out the line from PCU.Im sorry but I'm forever ruined with the shirt of the band your going to see thing.Cant go back now.I could give 2 shits about what someone wears to a show.Have fun be that guy or gal and enjoy.I just won't and will comment accordingly.Its fun.Shit I think at least 10 times a day movie lines are quoted in our house from Caddy shack to Van Wilder to the classic lines of Big Trouble,Old School and Euro trip.
I am also a Buisness owner and Have many employees and it is encouraged and practiced daily with our staffto break balls and keep things fun and light with great lines from movies.

Hahaha that would be great. There was a dude here in Austin rocking the "I shaved my balls for this?" shirt when PJ played ACL in '09. Awesome. I high fived him and realized the chick with him was carrying a blow up doll. Now that shit is awesome. Far better than ANY band shirt.

I seriously weep for the insecurity that must be present in people that feel the need to consciously adhere to this.

Hahaha I love Fight club and I break rules 1 and 2 all the time.

guypjfreak

i couldnt care wot people think i love the band i like wearing the t shirts ...............im happy end of lol

Sometimes wearing a band shirt during the day of a show helps you strike up conversations with other fans while you are touring the city. I met some great friends who I only said hello to because they were wearing a PJ shirt at an airport.

Rule 19: Never listen to the band you are going to see on the day of the show. Especially on the ride to the concert venue. :-&

All kidding aside, I only adhere to one rule, don't be late to the show!

) That seems like a good rule.
I'm afraid I'm guilty violating that one. Not with pearl jam though.

Last-12-Exit

I'm 35, saw PCU, and liked it. But in no way, shape, or form am I going set my social rules based on it.

TalonTedd

Wearing band colors brings people together. Whoever said this is a bad idea is up to no good....must be a capitalist!
I'll be wearing PJ to the Z day event in Toronto this year. I'll be sure to say hello to anyone I see wearing theirs, as well as all others of goodwill.

regalturbo

am I the only person here that follows this rule EXCEPT for PJ shows? I feel like it's different with PJ somehow. It's a rare sight at other shows to see people wearing the band's shirt, but at PJ shows it's like half the crowd at least.

Treyert14

The first thing I do is grab my concert shirt lol

Who

...or... you could wear the dodgy home-made pearl jam shirt with one of your favourite lyrcis stuck on the front and end up getting hug from Ed out of it...

Longueuil

Rule no 1 : Don't be an asshole.

After that, I don't give a damn what you're wearing, band shirt or not.
