Hardcore Pride.: People wearing merch when they don't listen to the band.
I don’t see what the big deal is. Unless it’s a giant band like Metallica, bottom line is that person’s given money to support the band, whether or not they listen to them.
I’ve gone to a show to see a headliner, seen some random support band I don’t know/listen to, and either thought they played…
Agreed, to a certain extent at least. When I played with Landlocked, I enjoyed them thoroughly, afterwards, I could count the amount of times I’ve listened to them with both hands. But, because they were such nice guys, and had travelled from America to play here, I bought a shirt, which they priced at £5, but I gave them double that, because they were so humble and pleasant. Totally worth it.
