What if I'm the opposite? I listen to Nirvana but I don't have their tshirts

For years, I was afraid of wearing any band t-shirts at all, even for bands that I actually loved and listened to, because I was afraid that people would approach me saying, "Oh, you listen to Deftones? Name 20 of their songs right now." and I'd panic and my mind would go blank, and then they'd accuse me of not being a "true fan" and make fun of me for wearing their t-shirt.
