Students are showing the music they listen to by wearing T-shirts advertising their favorite bands and artists.
Second-year biology student Gabe Aquino, who wore an NBA Youngboy shirt, said wearing band T-shirts is good for students. “They should wear what they like,” Aquino said. “They can, like, make friends or meet people that have … similar interests, if someone notices their shirt.”
Alyssa Fox, a second-year graphic design student, agreed.
“I support it,” Fox, who wore a Ghost T-shirt, said. “That’s nice to see.”
Fox discovered Ghost “maybe a year ago,” through the band’s music and concert videos on TikTok.
Fox added: “I work at Spirit Halloween, so I can get away with wearing a lot of, like, weird things, I guess … I was going to wear this.”
Connor Braun, who also wore a Ghost shirt, said it’s “awesome” seeing other students wear band T-shirts.
“I can immediately be like, ‘Oh, you like a band that I like,’” Braun, a first-year transfer studies student, said. “It’s a common interest of being like, ‘Hey, I like your shirt.’ You know … and I can be like, ‘Oh, it’s sick.’ I can talk to them about the music.”
Emma Dean, who wore a Green Day T-shirt, said she got into the band after seeing the group open for a concert.
