Do you buy music?
Beastmouth:
I bought a Korg Polysix tonight. ^__^
On topic: I buy records at shows and cool ones when I'm at the record store. Of course, I only go to the record store when my wallet's too heavy...

In my experience, liking the same music as someone else is hideously low on the priority list wrt judging how well I'll get along with them. Most of my best friends have atrocious or mediocre taste in music, and many people I know with awesome taste in music are not very cool at all.

I think that these are the two most relevant things you've said so far.
I wear a band t-shirt becuase I like that band, and yes I have made friends with people who like those bands. And it's not like I buy shirts that look like shit, of course I find them 'artistically pleasing' otherwise I wouldn't wear them. I'm not some fucking Calvin Kleine clothes horse or something, I wear the clothes I want to wear, not the clothes the adverts say I should wear.
Johnny C:
Not wearing band t-shirts doesn't mean you're subscribing to anyone else's idea of what you should wear.
I don't think it's tacky because I don't mind my artistic taste being a defining part of my person. It is a defining part of my person, whether I like it or not. I can see where you're coming from though, because a lot of bands have really ugly-as-sin shirts. Metric springs to mind almost instantly - the shirt I bought was pretty nice but the rest were ugly as shit. Someone buying them just to show off that they're a Metric fan is something I can see and something I wouldn't condone. I bought a shirt because I'm a fan but also because it doesn't look like someone drew it with the wrong hand, and in fact it fits nicely in the rest of my wardrobe.
Though I guess theoretically an incredibly ugly shirt could fit in someone's wardrobe too.

I use downloading as a way to find new music.
I do buy music, I order everything i can on vinyl. (from insound, music direct or e-bay mostly) I use my local independent stores if they have what i want.
I've been buying one album every other day for a while now. Im an audiophile so downloads don't cut it for me.
Scarychips:
Yes I do buy music, I'm the only one of my age (around 14-15 years old) that I know who keeps buying music, even after downloading it, I'll go buy the record. And I plan on buying more since I recently discovered my father have a turntable. It's easier for me to buy records too, since my mom works at the Archambault Headquarters in downtown Montreal, I can have the records at a low price since they have an employee-rebate (I think it a 50% rebate on records).
