Weezer! From 2005! (credit: James on Wikipedia)

Snobby people always say things like “the book was better” and “I liked their first album” as a way to sound more interesting. In recognition of that idea, here’s an idea my friend Jarrod and I have for a t-shirt (if it was the early 2000’s, it would be black with white text on it):… Continue reading A t-shirt for Hipsters
