Pop Star-Mocking Apparel

These Quirky Metal T-shirts Depict Pop Stars in Heavy Rock Fashion

— February 10, 2013 — Pop Culture
These quirky metal t-shirts depicit pop stars like Celine Dion and Tom Jones in heavy metal fashion. The t-shirts take a tongue in cheek look at some very un-metal pop culture icons. I mean no one ever expected to see Tom Jones or Barbara Streisand on a grunge t-shirt more likely to be spotted in the mosh pit at a Metallica concert.

The hilarious t-shirts even go so far as naming some of the stars songs -- Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' classic is immortalized as you've never seen it before on a t-shirt with the classic hard rock combo of skulls, fire and satanic symbolism. Tom Jones' 'What's New Pussy Cat?' is even mocked by being set against a demonic looking kitty with an upside down cross on his head.

These quirky metal t-shirts designed by Joey James Hernandez play on the divide and rivalry there has always been between mainstream pop and heavy rock fans.
Trend Themes
1. Pop Star-mocking Merchandise - The rise of pop culture-mocking apparel presents an opportunity for entrepreneurs to tap into a growing trend of edgy and irreverent streetwear.
2. Crossover Fashion - As pop culture and rock music icons collide in merchandise design, fashion industry players can capitalize on the crossover trend by developing unique, boundary-pushing designs that cater to fans of both genres.
3. Nostalgia-based Satire - The popularity of satirical merchandise that features beloved, yet unexpected, pop culture icons invites innovators to create similar designs that tap into current trends while poking fun at nostalgic figures.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion manufacturers and designers have the opportunity to tap into the growing trend of edgy and boundary-pushing streetwear, which includes pop culture-mocking apparel.
2. Music Merchandise - With the blurring of lines between pop and heavy metal genres in merchandise design, music merchandise companies can capitalize on the popularity and edginess of crossover fashion.
3. Entertainment - Opportunities abound for entertainment industry players to develop merchandise featuring beloved pop culture icons that appeals to nostalgia-based humor and satire.
