They probably aren't millionaires after all.

And mine came from a hole in the wall metal and punk record store run by a middle-aged OG with long, possibly unwashed hair who wears old, grungy band shirts with the sleeves crappily cut off. That was the first place I ever saw Songs About ****ing too. If I'd known that it was a legit record I would have picked it the **** up at 16, but you live and learn. The point is that I couldn't be more legit.

But the issue is, with so many of the Hot Topic ones around, how do you know if they're legit into the band? If I saw someone in a Maiden shirt I wouldn't feel compelled to strike up a conversation with them because chances are they've heard 1 or 2 albums, but if they're wearing a Bathory shirt? You bet I am.

I'd take a chance with a Slayer shirt. My dad has a pretty sweet one.

The more stylized the shirt the bigger chance that it's poseur.

To be honest Slayer is probably an exception. I'd be more suspect of Megadeth, Metallica, and Maiden shirts. And let's not even get started on the Nirvana and Zeppelin shirts...

Yes.

Don't remember seeing any Megadeth shirts, but I haven't stepped into a Hot Topic/Spencer's/whatever in years, so things might have changed. But yes on the others. So far as I know there is no way to be sure that someone didn't buy a Metallica shirt at a poseur store unless it's a legit tour t-shirt. And no one would care if it wasn't pre-Black Album anyway.

Dude, I'm wearing a Metallica shirt right now, wtf. Can't believe you are the guys that just judge of a ****ing shirt. Just ask me about the band first before you assume.
