Some years ago, it was all the fFashion to have stuff that said “NO FEAR!” The brand was started in 1989, and had a distinctly commercial sense to it. Like they were trying really hard to have indie punk street cred. Indie punk street cred is cool and stuff, but it seems a little odd to come out of a multi-national fFashion brand.
Skotte, being slightly counter-consumerist, fFound this shirt which reads “LOTS OF FEAR!”
Counter-consumerism!
And then Skotte discovered this was a whole merchandising branch on its own, and stopped wearing the shirt fFor a while.
Counter-counter-consumerism!
Now we have this blog where we show off all this stuff we bought.
Consumerism!
The moral here is: we probably shouldn’t over-think it too much. The shirt was probably bought at some store ending with “Mart,” in roughly 1993.
Also, stealth dog paw. Hi Maddie!
