Ah, bless.
New Order have got something Limp Bizkit/Right Said Fred will never have. Respect.

What fan base do they have now? They used to have a big fan base, and I used to think their cover of Faith was funny, but since the departure of Wes Borland, whatever his name is, the band nosedived and doesn't have any real commercial success anymore, and it's in a large part due to the fact people think Fred is a joke with his media overexposure whether it deals w/ Britney or his involvement in a commercially released porn tape. He has ever right to wear these shirts, but by doing so, he looks like he is pitifully trying to regain some musical credibility, and this is especially dubious with the current revival of The Cure and Moz. Fred is a dick and deserves as much respect as Right Said Fred.
hit the nail on the head! since the wes guy split, it has been all downhill. and speaking of wes, and going down hill, he was at one of our recent LA shows we played with Devics, sans make-up. almost didn't recognize him. it was funny to see him trying to blend in with the LA crowd. he grew his hair out, and was wearing leather pants! 
Fred durst wearing that shirt is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. That guy is a complete bozo. One of my friends had the unfortunate job of dealing with Freddie on a number of occaisions. He is a complete wanker. He talks a lot of crap, and can't back it up.
That said, I suppose it's possible that he actually likes joy division. Unlikely, but possible. I certainly wouldn't count on it. I suspect it's part of the whole "hipster" thing that goes on around the U.S. (do you have this problem elsewhere?)
Right now, it's considered "hip" to wear shirts with bands from the 70's and 80's whether you like the bands or not. In most instances, these pretentious idiots have never even heard OF the bands, much less heard their music. I saw a girl approximately 15 years old wearing giant pants, spiked belt, untied skateboarding shoes, dyed red hair... and a RUSH 2112 t shirt. I mean come on.
i think you are very right, it is definetly a fashion trend. i know talking about the cure especially on digital republic is taboo, but i had to post this to back your point. it's very sad, but sums up american culture right now.

I just love how the hat is described as 'vintage'. This hat has the same worth as a vintage plumbing system.
vintage? that font is from wild mood swings, 1996. i have the same patch but in yellow. i wonder of anyone bid on that thing yet.
Suprisingly no one has bid on it, but those would surely sell like hotcakes if it was sold at Hot Topic.

I agree. That's where all the hip high schoolers buy their Clash tees.

I agree. That's where all the hip high schoolers buy their Clash tees.
Even worse, it's the place where kids get their Dropkick Murphy's shirts, their MxPx shirts. Also it's the same place where people buy Jhonen Vasquez merchandise (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Invader Zim).
i actually stop in there sometimes cause they carry cds from metropolis records. expensive as shit though. i do get funny looks from these wanna be goth kids whenever i go in there. you know the ones with korn and manson shirts (did you know they were goth?)luckily i found a cool used record store with an ebm/industrial section with all the metropolis records and a different drum stuff, but it's an hour and a half away. worth it considering hot topic is 45 minutes away. whats an extra 45 minutes to get cool cds for cheaper?
