People just don’t go to other people saying some random shit where I’m from. Unless they’re crazy, beggars, or tourists from the US. If you come to anorher person and don’t start your sentence with “excuse me” or “sorry”, you’re getting ignored.
I’ve seen it happen when I was in high school. It was usually a call out between friends and 90% of the time it was a led zeppelin shirt. Never seen it between two strangers on the street though
That’s because it’s a straw-man. Unless someone has serious social deficiencies, this doesn’t happen. The experience is 99% ignore, 0.9% might get “like your shirt”, or “cool band”, 0.1% some weirdo - who would have found something else anyway if it wasn’t your shirt.
It’s a type of negging. I can guarantee you women wearing band shirts riding a subway, at a bar, etc, have been asked this kind of question with negative ulterior motives.
It’s not common but I have had this weird interaction once:
Stop at random convenience store for a drink, take drink to counter, cashier looks up, sees my Dave Matthews Band shirt, and while doing the transaction for my drink says:
“I know that band! I hate that band! Take your shit and get out!”
It was confusing as hell. Who the fuck hates the Dave Matthews Band? 🤷🏻♂️
This sounds like a US thing.

It doesn’t happen in the US either. These posts are made up social media rage bait.
Both people in this made up conversation sounds like douches.
