The Art of a Good Pop Culture T-Shirt

While browsing several funny t shirts websites looking for the right references to inaugurate the summer season with, I came across a “Kuato Lives” shirt that instantly found its way into the shopping cart. For all you punks whom that phrase gets lost on, Kuato was the leader of the mutant rebellion on Mars in the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi classic Total Recall. You might have even seen that movie a couple times and not remember that.

Which is okay, in fact, it’s desirable. Because a good pop culture t-shirt is less about creating a sense of collective appreciation towards a timeless figure like a cereal mascot and more about stamping yourself for a day as a devoted fan of something obscure, and waiting, sometimes hoping, for ardent fellow fans to reveal themselves to you. It isn’t much fun if everybody that walks by you points and laughs at the irony of Mr. Rogers’s face on a grown-ups shirt. But walking amongst the mob clad in a shirt that projects an obscure reference is exciting. The difference is much like the difference between shooting fish in a barrel and fishing; if you have to wait three hours before you hear someone shout “Kuato Lives!” instead of being bombarded with eyeballs and comments constantly, it feels a lot like the triumph of a good catch over easy pickings.

The art is as much on the part of the buyer as it is on the part of the seller/designer. Funny and pop culture-themed t-shirt makers make their bread and butter on the clever ways they can tie a mainstream icon or beloved character into a fun and exciting shirt design, and being able to discern what is befitting of a Father’s Day gift and what would make a great shirt for you to wear takes some skill. Consider a subject as universal and universally well known as the Star Wars films. A shirt with a picture of a pig wearing Corellian blood stripe pants and a vest with the words “Ham Solo” above him is admittedly funny (does such a shirt exist?) but that’s not the subtle reference that makes a great pop culture shirt for someone wanting a challenge in the rise they get out of those around them. As far as Star Wars goes, something along the lines of “A Wampa Ate My Baby” might suffice.

Since most funny t –shirt websites price their shirts between 13 to 20 dollars, it’s wise to consider whether or not you’ll like the attention you’re going to get with that particular shirt. If you’re like me, you prefer only the occasional attention paid, and want to proudly display your pop culture reference, if only so that 99% of people don’t even get it.

FYI to all you mutants out there, that Kuato Lives shirt was found at Crazy Dog T Shirts
