Work Shirts. Where are the blue collar heads at?

Why was the mid 90s all about work shirts?

It’s not like hardcore fans during that time were all working class. As far as I recall, most were white suburban college kids. I mean, obviously, a lot of hardcore dudes didn’t fall into that category, but seriously, I don’t see a lot of blue collar dock workers rocking out to Ebullition style hardcore. Flagman, Four Walls Falling, Resurrection. I just don’t see it.

But a lot of bands seemed to create work shirts. I suppose for these two bands, it makes more sense. If ever there was a blue collar hardcore band, H2O was it. They kept it real on the streets of the LESC.

Bouncing Souls too. I can see it. I can picture a garage full of lifted cars while dudes are rocking out to the Bouncing Souls. I can see it.
