The rapid rise of the popularity of the t-shirt from its humble beginnings is well documented. From just a plain t-shirt, with the addition of just about anything getting printed on either its front or on its back, the t-shirt took on a variety of avatars like retro t-shirts, cool t-shirts, surfing t-shirts, hilarious t-shirts and funny t-shirts.
The hilarious and the funny ones tickled the funny bone with their clean humor and people smiled or laughed at them, remembered some of them, forgot most of them and went along on their way. These t-shirts not only had jokes and funny sayings on them but they also poked fun at almost everything and everybody but stopped short of being rude.
It seems that somebody who was certain that things that lacked taste were in vogue, decided to come up with all weird stuff written on these T-shirts right from things that lacked utter sense to frenzied messages that could be found on them. Besides, the use of the 4-letter word was no longer seen as rude and it turned into a style statement. This is how crazy T-shirts became a big fad. And the kind of statements that one can find on them like " Bad Samaritans" hardly make any sense as it is used with reference to good things.
These T-shirts became such a huge obsession that if you would go to the T-shirt store you could find all different kinds of T-shirts that are exhibited right from the less bizarre ones to the real maddening ones. It could sometimes leave someone with the understanding of fashion completely astonished to know that beauty lies in the eyes of the onlooker. Just about anything could turn into a vogue and not just celebrity fashion.
Why did these T-shirts come into vogue? Maybe as one of the established French designer like Coco Chanel remarked "The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud." As it is quite clear that this kind of T-shirt is a statement of assertiveness. It is not just self-expression but in this case it is the assertion of the designer. It is a creative pursuit in its own way though some people may shun it as a creation of a bizarre mind. And it is a known fact that creativity does require a dose of wackiness.
Nevertheless, the crazy t-shirt has come to stay in our midst, and it wouldn't be surprising if almost everybody owns one of them, at least the mildly crazy kind. Of course, secretly he or she may want to wear the more bolder and crazier one but refrain from doing so for fear of offending someone or other.
Gifting t-shirts is an easy way of showing your affection for a relative or a friend or even a casual acquaintance. It is easy to gift them a cool, a retro or a funny t-shirt. Certainly, crazy t-shirts also make great gifts for relatives and friends, who understand you well, but may not be appropriate to casual acquaintances. The milder ones may be more fitting than the ones at the other end of the scale.
Now, if you feel that purchasing a crazy t-shirt and wearing it is a second hand act, second hand in the sense that you are only reflecting some one else's courageous act of thinking aloud, then all you have to do is think out aloud for yourself and come up with something crazy to say. There is no dearth of subjects on this crazy God forsaken planet. Think of one, go online and get it made. Even easier just buy it online. Wear it and make a loud declaration.
