Why People Pay $400 For A Thrasher T-Shirt

[@MarkPemble]

10 years ago, if you saw someone wearing anything Thrasher, they probably skated. Now, if you see someone wearing Thrasher, they probably don't skate.

[@ndino0238]

Ik and its sad

[@uranus8051]

@paula that back then only skaters wore thrasher and know people dont even know what thrasher is they just wear it

[@Youngbuckinnacut]

I’ve been reading the mag snce 2010s thrasher should b fo everyone. skateboarding is expanding in different industries the same way ppl have been evolutionizing tricks.

[@chromebomb]

society is bad

[@lilpeenbricen1354]

I wish it wasn’t so popular because now it costs so much more and all I want is a sweatshirt cause it gets cold where I live

[@r7an55]

Who else here is a skater looking down on the madness we created?

[@zfouleur2904]

It's the same thing that ruined warped tour.

[@jracerichards]

I used to skate and I 'm cool with non skaters wearing skate shirts .

[@maxprime6452]

The fact that someone actually paid $400 for a thrasher shirt is already not thrasher

[@justinfaller5910]

Idk man if it’s vintage and a good design I’d hang it on my wall

[@oprice6301]

I’ve been seeing thrasher tee’s for 24 bucks

Yeah that’s kinda stupid, this way of thinking makes people not wanna buy trasher. So ur actually the one deciding what people wear instead of themselves. Or that’s the case in my country at least

[@jracerichards]

That's a stupid comment . You're the clothes police it seems.

[@PinstripeJim]

When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s skating all the time I didn't wear Thrasher because I felt I wasn't a good enough skater to wear it. It was for those guys that were skilled enough to get into the magazine. Don't wear a Social Distortion or Descendents t-shirt if you don't listen to their music.

[@denverwalker9078]

I remember getting a free shirt with a year subscription to the magazine

[@Senpaischick]

Facts, my brothers begged my grandma every year to renew their subscription and got the t-shirts like clockwork

[@mrgonzalez4583]

skaters would never pay 400$ for a thrasher t-shirt

[@H4ndle911]

Exactly! It's gonna rip in a couple of weeks and that's if you're lucky or dont skate much, no point in paying so much

I don't know if you do cover markets outside US. And smartphone manufacturers to be specific.But would love your take on ONEPLUS and how it transformed the smartphone market in INDIA and abroad. JIO is also one company whose journey will be interesting if covered. As it provides internet in INDIA at as low as $3 a month. Either way your videos are awesome. Cheers 🍻🍻

Last year I saw an explosion of people wearing third party NASA tshirt. They also couldn’t answer who was the first man to step first on the moon... also the flag (federal0 code of USA states: "the flag should never use as apparel or advertising" however the 4th July use it all the time as an image on a t-shirt.

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

What?

[@sebcubille]

tbf the flag code has basically been broken by everyone at one point... unless you go for the technical meaning, which is the original, unmodified 50 star flag on a tshirt (ex the old navy flag shirts dont count)

[@PeepGamePopoff]

Nobodies ever stepped on the moon:.. also licensing the NASA logo is 100% free they just want you to help spread their bs l

Doesn't matter your age, race, gender, or wealth background, the feeling of landing a trick that took you forever to learn is priceless. Skaters also look at societal architecture different from everyone else as we see the skate potential in everything: stairs, rails, sidewalk gaps, roofs, etc.

It’s equal parts fascinating & sad to possibly be a witness to the cultural dead end in the west. Subcultures stand no chance of cultivating organically anymore thanks to the internet resulting in the youth of today desperately scrambling/mining the last 30 + years of pop culture to create a pastiche Frankenstein of yesteryears scraps. Yesterday’s nerd/weirdo is rinsed off & given a cool haircut. Fingers crossed the kids being born today will find the well dry by then & be forced into a renaissance.
