   I feel like a dick since I was questioning the same thing, but I’m 24. What is the average age of Street Carnage viewers? 28-35?

   I’m 38… I would rock the t-shirt, but not the hoodie. I gave up hoodies sometime in the late 90s.

   I think you’re good until you’re at least 40, especially nowadays.

   The real problem here, and with most Bad Brains gear in general, is that you look like a cunt wearing anything with rasta colours if you’re white.

   IT’S LAME TO WEAR A SHIRT/HOODIE/WHATEVER WITH AN ALBUM COVER THAT EVERYONE KNOWS IS AWESOME. YOU’RE BASICALLY JUST WALKING AROUND FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS.

   ON THE OTHER HAND, IT IS AWESOME IF WHAT YOU’RE WEARING IS NOT “IN” AND LIKELY TO GET PEOPLE TO GIVE YOU ODD LOOKS AND QUESTION YOUR TASTE. THEN YOU GET TO SAY “FUCK YOU, YOU TRENDY ASS PIECE OF SHIT. GEDDY, NEAL AND ALEX ARE GODS AMONG MEN.”

   I’m forty fucking one and I’m not saying I’d sport the B.B. gear (although they are legends) but I will say that I’ll wear whatever I care to, regardless who thinks what. If you like something don’t sweat it.

    Unfortunately, only a handfull of people around my age support and enjoy the hype of Punk in DC. Everyone else thinks DC only came out with Marvin Gaye and Go-Go music. “Who’s Bad Brains?” “Who’s Black Flag?”
    Really?

    what sucks is the fact that i saw bad brains during their heyday ironically means i am now too old to wear this hoodie. though i am not going to stoop to gavin’s level and buy every fred perry shirt ever sewn to make up for it.

    It’s not fair to say that Black Flag is a D.C. punk band just because Henry Rollins lived there back when he was called Henry Garfield.

    I like this, but I like Barack Brains more. Live in the now! and reappropriate iconic images when it suits your political purpose. Really.

    Over 35s have more right than this actress

    Wear a hoodie if you want to wear one but the one’s with a zipper up front are the only good kind.

    Misfits were only good for the logo. Even their mohawks sucked.

    I think age is irrelevant in this situation. We all know and appreciate the album and its architects, but that doesn’t necessarily justify strutting around in a billboard. Frame the vinyl, get a tattoo, or sear your flesh with a BB brand if you’re an aging fan boy who was around to absorb their awesome stench. If you’d really like to solidify your position as an enthusiast, a perfect solution would be to scale the capitol building with a copper rod in July.

    I’m 21, and I don’t think this is worthy of a post.

    Sheesus, you’re right. People do assosicate Black Flag with DC mostly with HR. Nonetheless, we had Bad Brains, Teen Idles, Minor Threat and SOA. Only a few people seem to even know of them. That’s show-biz.

    Correction. It seems only a few people in DC know of them.

    I’m 28. I think this is a good question. I feel as if with hoodies, if you’re a guy, after you’re 30, you need to get an actual structured jacket (even if it’s from the thrift store!), & stop wearing a goddamn hoodie everywhere you go. You don’t look like a youthful, dynamic college student anymore, you just look like a slob. It would be better if you could make this switch even earlier than 30! If you’re a woman, you should probably change over to cardigans/light jackets around the same age.

    Obviously it’s okay to HAVE them, like to walk the dog in or whatever. But it does seem kind of needy to go to a party or something wearing a hoodie with a cool album cover that all cool people think are cool. Like you’re a big ol’ insecure indie rocker, just waiting for someone to walk up & say “OMG, do YOU love Bad Brains, TOO?!”

    the only hoody worth wearing is carharrt or hanes.

    Ah, Chachi I knew I could count on you. Minor Threat was/ is unfuckintouchable and you’re far from the philistine I feard you were. PLUS, kicker of all kickers, DC public access had Pancake Mountain.

    A friendly PSA from out west in Tempe, AZ: in 97.3% of the cities in this country that aren’t NY, no one has ever heard of Bad Brains. The citizenry here in the hinterland look kindly upon the wearing of hooded clothing, as the hood provides protection for your head regardless of your age. Out here it’s “Ay, Tex! Thum two words both start with the saaaayme lettur” and we move on.

    the standard black hoodie is an unit of clothing that does not need a silkscreened image to boost its purpose or power.

    along with the fact that hoodies sold by bands tend to range in price from 40$ to 60$…85$ if you’re the foo fighters or some sort of post-Audioslave band.
