Band shirts are usually a good ice breaker for me. Met a lot of cool people and close friends by them talking to me about a shirt I wore. I only buy band shirts of people I really like so it leads to good conversations usually.
I learned to not ask people about band shirts though unless they are obscure-ish. It was fun a few years ago talking to people about Misfits who thought it was just a brand. I personally don’t understand why people would wear a band shirt because the pattern is cool, but it doesn’t really upset me anymore.
Edit: except shirts that use the Unknown Pleasures design. I saw one awhile that used the design, but the lines made a bird and said “Love” at the bottom. My wife had to escort me out of the store before I made a fool of myself.
Just before your edit, i wanted to write about Unknown Pleasures. I didn’t see the bird love version, but lots of other versions and i don’t think, they all got the idea from The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy.
It doesn’t really bother me, i just somehow feel bamboozled by the sight of it.

I thought about that, but it was in the band shirt section next to a tie dyed Slayer crew neck so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
