I have to have this! All my friends would think it's so funny. I'm constantly bashing them over the head with my pop music apologetics. A few others on the sight look good too.
I like these too:
Just Give Me The Radio Edit and Key Change
I think we need one more. Counter melody 8)
Not quite sure if I understand the shirt right. Does it mean that I'm always interested in credits of a song and actually more a fan of writers/producers than of the singer? If so, I'll buy it!
oh my god! these shirts are too amazing! I need at least 5 of them ;D
my favorites:
verse-chorus-etc
i love non-organic pop music ...
single song repeat
pop music
deluxe edition
key change
it's a great site anyway, thanks for sharing it! I love the descriptions next to the shirts, very funny! :D

I think it's a statement admitting that you love "manufactured" pop music, made by a group of people who specifically come together just to make a chart topping hit. Compared to those singer-songwriters who write their own songs which are so much more "authentic" haha.
That fits as well haha!
Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco, Shellback, Cirkut, Emily Wright, Bonnie McKee, Savan Kotecha, Ammo, Billboard, Kool Kojak 8)
haha , I love this T-shirt.

A must-have t-shirt. But probably none of the real-life peaple will understand.
I don't know what it's like for you guys, but I hardly know anyone who will admit to liking pop, it seems to be a dirty word here in Australia. People seriously have a laugh at me when I tell them some of the music I love. They think I'm just a sucker for a money making machine that doesn't actually care for producing authentic music. Yet while I'm enjoying picking the best from all sorts of genres, they're fooled into this crazy belief that anything indie and non-mainstream equals good music, when, like all genres, there's just as much good in there as there is crap! So I consider it my duty to inform people just how much hard work goes into creating genuinely good pop music, and how much respect people like Max get within the music industry. I once managed to get someone who used to constantly joke about my love for boybands to like Backstreet Boys by making them listen to one of their albums (admittedly it was "Never Gone", which was always going to be far less boyband pop than they expected, but hey). Pop music warrior I am! :D
I actually don't care about what people say referring to my taste of music. I will always defend the music I love no matter what they say!
@turnaround: this is the best part of it! People will look at these shirts like ??? and that way they will start contemplating. Most of them will be confused, but then again you can also find people with the same interests :)

Same here. As far as I'm concerned, they're the ones who can't see below the surface. You find some people actually appreciate the unashamed passion, most don't expect it. The shirts are awesome because you can express all of that without saying a word.

Thumbs up! And I can pretty much sign what you wrote.
I really don't care who sings a song. At least as it is a great tune. Of course it is hard to explain you like the latest e. g. Justin Bieber song because the songwriting is massive etc. All my friends have a different taste and basically just through this forum and the internet I find people who share the same interest. Looking beyond the songs and try to figure out the magic of a hit song.
I love unashamed pop. But actually the genre doesn't matter, if the hookline is right.
And somehow the industrial co-writers we love have the special gift to deliver hooklines and something special, at least most of the time.

+1 , I always loved the melodic music and where i cant get more of it is in Pop , I dont like all the pop , but I love a pop song well done , I dont care who says another people , before I felt a bit ashamed , it's strange in a boy of 20-30 years love pop music but at least i feel too a bit special , dont let the other change your tastes , have personality! :D , I'm sure there are a lot of people like pop but dont admit it.
Oh you guys, I almost teared up reading your replies, I feel just the same, and I agree that it's what gives us personality and makes us special. :)
I love that t-shirt, really funny and true!
