Are you one of those brooding coolios who know it all about Madchester and The Smiths? Do you hang out with people who actually flew the Atlantic to have their photograph taken outside Salford Lads Club and to feel the pain that made Joy Division write all those miserable fucking songs? Are you that brilliant that the thought of a Joy Division t-shirt with a picture of Mark E Smith on it provokes a wry grin and a sudden onset of angst for the days you could smoke Woodbines while walking through Prestwich Clough discussing who’s caved in to heroin and who hasn’t, this post-ironic Madchester mashup t-shirt might be for you!

The question is, did this person (it is being sold on EBay) actually print the shirt with a post-ironic hipster audience in mind, or was it the worst, fuckwitted twat to ever try and make a fast buck from what could well be the most understudied and ill-represented underground “scene” in music history?
Either it is one cool shirt and I simply must have one for myself. It’ll be bliss to lap up the negative vibes from all the fools who are self-absorbed enough to think they’ve caught me out at the coffee shop/nightclub/festival/etc, etc.
