Senior year my gym teacher sent me to the principal's office because my White Zombie shirt said "I went to Hell and all I got was this crappy t-shirt" on the back. And, I had to move my hair for him to read it. They made me turn my shirt inside out, and called my mom at work. She asked the principal, "Don't you have something better to do?"
I could understand if it said "shitty t-shirt," but Hell is a place, and was used in that sense. The remainder of the year, I never wore the shirt again, but saw some other kid who didn't typically dress like a metalhead wear the same shirt over and over. He never got in trouble. I got singled out because of the stereotypes. Sadly, it's just the way it will always be, whether it's something minor like my t-shirt, or blaming the movies/music for the violence a disturbed individual commits.
