Well, hey there, you little rascals! Let me tell you, I seen a thing or two in my day. These days all I hear is “street trash t shirt” this and “street trash t shirt” that. My old eyes ain’t what they used to be, but I reckon I can still tell a thing or two about these shirts.
So, this street trash t shirt, huh? Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a dumpster. But I guess the young’uns like it. They like them street trash t shirts. They wear them everywhere, I see them at the market, the post office, even at church, the lord forgive me. I don’t rightly know what it means, but they seem to like it.
They come in all sorts of colors, these shirts. Black ones, mostly, I reckon. Sometimes blue. Seen a few white ones, too, but those get dirty real quick. You wouldn’t want to wear a white street trash t shirt to a hog roast, let me tell you. No sir, it’ll get stained up with gravy and barbecue sauce. Stain it up real good. The best shirt is the black one.
- Black, that’s the color you want.
- Hides the dirt good.
- Goes with everything, they say.
Now, I seen some with pictures on ’em. Spooky pictures, some of ’em. Bones and skulls and what have you. Makes a body wonder what them young folks are thinkin’. I don’t like those pictures. They put ’em on them street trash t shirts, though. Maybe it is those video games they play, turning their brains to mush. Back in my day, we didn’t have none of that. We played outside, in the dirt. Maybe that’s why they call it “street trash” – reminds ’em of playin’ in the dirt. These kids, they play games all day, and then buy the street trash t shirt. What a world!
And the price! Lord have mercy, the price of these things. You wouldn’t believe what they charge for a simple shirt. Back in my day, you could get a whole outfit for that price. These street trash t shirts, they cost a lot. They are popular, I guess. A pretty penny. And for what? A shirt with a picture on it? It’s a mystery to me. Maybe they are made with gold thread? I doubt it. But they sure do cost a lot.
You can find them shirts everywhere, too. Online, I hear. On the computer. I don’t know nothin’ about that, though. My grandson, he showed me once. Said you can buy anything on that there computer. These street trash t shirts, you can get ’em there, he says. He’s a good boy, but he spends too much time on that thing. He got one of them shirts. Wears it all the time. I told him he’s gonna wear it out. He just laughed. Kids these days. They don’t listen.
I seen them at the mall, too. In them fancy stores. All bright and shiny. They got them street trash t shirts hangin’ up, lookin’ all important. Like they’re somethin’ special. Maybe they are. I don’t know. I still think they’re overpriced. But what do I know? I’m just an old lady.
- You can buy them online, they say.
- Or at the mall, in them fancy stores.
- Wherever you get ’em, they cost a lot.
If you ask me, if you are gonna spend your money, you better get a good one. A good street trash t shirt, not one of them cheap ones. One that’ll last. Not one that’ll fall apart after you wash it a few times. You want a good, strong shirt. One that can take a beatin’. Like them shirts they used to make. Those were shirts! Lasted you a lifetime. This new stuff is made of paper, I swear.
Well, I reckon that’s all I got to say about them street trash t shirts. They’re a mystery to me, but the young folks seem to like ’em. So, who am I to judge? If it makes ’em happy, then I guess it’s all right. Just don’t ask me to wear one. I’ll stick to my old shirts, thank you very much. They might not be fancy, but they’re comfortable. And they don’t cost an arm and a leg.
Just remember, if you see a street trash t shirt, it is the new style. I don’t get it, but it is. And if you want to buy one, you better have money. Lots of money. Those new shirts, they cost more than a new pair of shoes! Can you believe it? Times are changing, I suppose. Times are changing.
