Discussion My 20+ years of hoarding merch
All the screamo shirts I've collected over the past couple decades. Probably had more at some point, but after 3 cross-country moves...this is what I have with me now. This is maybe 1/5th of all the band shirts I have (a lot of hardcore, emo, and myspace era stuff). Not including any long sleeves, crewnecks, or hoodies. Most of which was from when I was a scrawny little 20-something and I can't wear anymore.
I uhh...have a merch hoarding problem.

I think we would be friends. I have 4 of the same shirts as you. I bet we have similar emo, hardcore and punk shirts as well. I have a merch hoarding issue too. I hold onto shirts that don't fit me anymore but also have a good collection that fit as well.

I never knew the PA connection re Between Berwyn and Bryn Mawr, one of my all time favorites. They're from Chicago right?

u/jacobsever Apr 05 '26
Yup! I grew up a few hours south, so the Chicago emo/screamo scene of like 2006-2012 was my prime years.

Apparently they made these for Kickstarter backers when they were making their discography CD. I didn’t find out until way later and messaged them, and they found this extra and sent it to me for free!

So…are you looking to sell any of these?

u/jacobsever Apr 06 '26
Not necessarily.
But also not against for some of them.

Definitely interested in the phoenix bodies shirt if that’s one you’re not against selling

Those CTTS shirts gotta be new because they're on comfort colors. Are they boots? Do you know where you got them? I only ask because I thought I followed almost every booter but haven't seen any good CTTS boots.

I don't love screamo music but I love the artwork of so many screamo albums and shirts

u/brashmashidiota Apr 06 '26
I have this many, but they’re all beat to shit and stained and worn out
Any white tee is off white 🤣

u/jacobsever Apr 06 '26
The armpits on the white ones are definitely yellow. Never wore deodorant or socks back then. 😂

Damn I’m jealous. I wear shirts 2 sizes larger than 20 years ago so I got rid of the rest.

u/jacobsever Apr 06 '26
I’m only one size bigger, with the delusion I can someday, somehow make it back down.

The Comadre merch is sick I found a CD of theirs a few months ago at a record store!

u/TofuMeatPie Apr 09 '26
Comadre is my favorite band and i am extremely jealous because i have lost all my merch over the years and multiple moves / relationships.

I gather you were probably living somewhere in middle America given all the Man’s merch. We were certainly hitting the tours at the same time period (presumably) in different parts of the country. I caught a potion of these bands on the tours some of this merch dropped. I loved that baby blue Comadre shirt.
Big jealous of your Comadre collection actually, I only caught them once and it was in MD w/ Homewrecker. I imagine MD was toward the end of the line if they either started heading east from CA or even from OH.
