My 15 year old son recently bought a Grateful Dead hoodie. He's never
heard of the band at all, knows nothing about their music. Just liked the design of the sweatshirt, and the good price. So now I'll need to start monitoring him for pot usage, and make sure he doesn't ignore his personal hygiene.

It’s kitschy. Kids love it.

You should tell him to search for a Jerry Garcia tie.
Will probably have to find it on Ebay. Believe he was an art school student.

I have one of those, the last one I ever wore. More than 15 years ago.
It's a nice tie, as throat-strangling, conformist-B.S.-social engineering-corporate-dress-code-crap-buttkissing stuff goes.

I can’t imagine you were ever one of those con-bs-soceng-corp-buttkisser?
Must have worn it to a wedding or something.

I bought 2 or 3 off Ebay 10-15 years ago. Beautiful ties!

Huge fan, but not as big as my younger bro who followed them on tour->
for the better part of one summer; in a VW bus no less!

Along the same lines as kids buying hoodies/t shirts with bands they know
nothing about, we received one of the ubiquitous Shutterfly Christmas cards from my niece’s family (they live in Cambridge, MA). One of the photos was of her husband (with two of their five kids) wearing a Nirvana tee shirt but the picture on the shirt is the “band” Hanson. Well it is kind of a funny “statement“.

What did one Deadhead say to the other Deadhead when they ran out of weed?
Man, this band sucks!

OK, LOL....for an extended period of time. That definitely deserved more
than a simple "Like".
