I'd say odds are pretty good that Isaac just bought the shirt and has no idea who AC/DC is, sort of like all these kids wearing Nirvana shirts.
I hate this. Especially when you start a conversation with them about the band and they have a blank stare on their face. 🤦‍♂️🙄

So, you saying Chris Low is a liar? He wouldn't be going to Atlanta to see Angus and the boys live? What's makes you think he wouldn't actually know AC/DC? There is nothing in that picture to indicate he does not know them other than what is in your head. I am not positive he knows them but there is a lot more there in that OP indicating that he does than he doesn't.

Man I sincerely apologize for my post. The last thing I want to do in my life is question Chris Low. Every one of these kids who wear these shirts from old bands wears them because they are true fans and love the music, not because it's a fad.

If you run into Chris, please extend my apologies to him as well.

You'd be surprised how much kids these days like Classic Rock, of course AD/DC, VH and GN'R is played at every sporting event. Most likely they don't know it like we do, but they do enjoy it.

My last deployment, 2016, a band (AF Band called Afterburner) toured the AOR, I was shocked at how many late teens/early twenties kids were into that genre of music.

First, of course they do - listen to the tripe coming out these days in pop music. Thanks to my indoctrination, my kids all know with certainty that 70's/80's music is infinitely better and timeless.

Second, a (small) shout out to TikTok. I'm sure you with daughters already know this, but there are a ton of videos going around with great music as the background, introducing this generation to the classics.

My teen daughter asked me the other night, "don't you like Steely Dan?". I confirmed, of course. She went on to tell me Dirty Work was her new favorite song. She heard it on some TikTok video. She's also become a huge Billy Joel fan lately. I was simultaneously proud as hell and irritated that after all these years of me playing it, she's finally listening because the Chinese spies told her to... But at least there is one good thing coming from it.

If you see a kid wearing a Nirvana shirt and they give you that deer in the headlight look when you mention them. Just exclaim "Nevermind!"

No way in hell, has he ever identified a song as being an ACDC song? He bought that at Walmart just like the rest of these punks walking around with these shirts.

Same here... I raised my boy on classic rock, and I'm proud to say he has established music tastes similar to mine. Hell, he dregs up some 80's~00's songs I had forgotten about or didn't even know of at all.

I'm currently rocking this shirt. It's been in my at home, after shower rotation for quite some time, but I used to wear it in public.

I became a fan when my best friend introduced me to one of their greatest hits compilations, Edward the Great.

It's a tour shirt. I saw them on that Atlanta, Ga date...where a handful of us caught a "drinking within 200 feet of a package store" charge. But, that's a story for another day.

One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

Who's the drummer? 17 if I know.

I know Bruce Dickinson and...that's it. I've read some of his poetry. Dude is a licensed Airbus pilot & almost qualified for England's Olympic fencing team.

Help me out @BruceDickinson.sixpack .

Point being, I'm an unabashedly greatest hits junkie.

I love George Jones to Marilyn Manson, Meat Loaf to Keb Mo, Etta James to Led Zepplin,

This band T-shirt judgment is bullshlt.

As is fanhood judgment of sports teams.

It's intellectual niche snobbery, and we're all guilty of it.

Get off my lawn. Those of you up in arms of whether he's a "true" fan or not need to know that everyone in your neighborhood hates you and the HOA board you sit on.
