Doing research on why teens wear shirts with logos advertising for clothing companies that don’t pay them for all the work they do.
ok, i’m going to try to address both the subjects you brought up here. here we go.
i don’t choose my clothes based on brand name. i choose them on whether or not they’re cute and look good on me. i have both element AND volcom clothes, and i definitely didn’t choose them based on the brand.
as for why teens wear shirts with logos? because they look cool i guess. the logos for companies like element and Volcom tend to be designed to look cool. they’re generally mixed in with a cool design. my friend has a really cool volcom sweatshirt where the brand is mixed in with a bunch of kites. it’s rad. she doesn’t wear it because it says volcom on it, she wears it because the sweatshirt is tight. the clothing companies design the shirts so that kids will pay to wear them, not so that they can pay kids to wear them. if a teenager likes a clothing company, then they will gladly wear a shirt to get the name of the company out there. it means that the clothing company is doing a good job of impressing a large audience if you see a bunch of kids wearing shirts with that logo.
and its not work for someone to wear a shirt. i’m wearing 3 right now and i’m not even breaking a sweat.
