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.

they wanted to call my mom and said I need help if I am suicidal. I was like it doesnt even say "tendencies" i told them the shirt said suicidal "frequencies" LOL they couldnt then and they still cannot read metal band names.
it was the famous Lights, Camera, Revolution, Suicidal T-shirt - cant believe how people overreact to things like shirts. Today theyd probably arrest me or something... if that happened now. I graduated in 1994 so its been awhile, they installedmetal detectors after i graduated.
