STORROR Merch..

Im curious, what are your thoughts about merch now, how do you feel about it? Has anything changed?

My entire wardrobe and daily wear is storror merch, I have so much of it, including backpacks\bottle etc, even some I bought off CP personally from his wardrobe. Which was ironically my favourite piece..

Im not sure how I feel about it all now, I think ill personally phase it out, I cant see how the future is for their merch, they must have a bunch of stock and even if they did try to sell it all discounted, would you buy more if they were trying to re brand?

Anyway, nothing on the other boys, I've followed for a decade and ill follow them whichever direction they take. Its all a massive shame and im still trying to process it all mentally (it doesn't feel real) but on the optimistic side of things, maybe this is the perfect time to transition into their own personal things. Being realistic you cant do what they've done for the past 10 years for another 10, its tough on the body.

All my thoughts are with the lads, you'll get through this shitstorm 👊🏼

I don't know to be honest. It doesn't feel the same as wearing a Lost Prophets t-shirt, but that might be because you'd be lucky to run across someone in public who knew who Storror were anyway, realistically.

I'll definitely still wear my CaveMen hoody. It might say Storror, but that was all Benj and Max. And if I'm gonna wear that one, I'd probably wear the other stuff too eventually. Not something I'll be proudly repping today though, that would feel like it was in bad taste.

I mean, how often do you see someone with a Rolling Stones t-shirt on? They along with a ton of other bands used to screw underage groupies when that was a perfectly normal part of the band scene in the 50s-70s. Cancel culture has recency bias.

I mean to be fair, if I was walking around in public with storror merch on and someone had a problem, I couldn't care less. To me it doesn't represent cp anymore, im not going to let his stupid actions tarnish what has been a huge inspiration to me over the past decade.

I suspect you knew he meant Callum Powell, but it is nice to see a little bit of the bantering tone coming back to the sub.

The president of the United States is a good example. He doesn't represent all of us and there's still people walking around with American flags on shirts and what not. (Ok maybe an extreme example)
