Music Influencing Fashion

I am a huge fan of Nirvana and over the past two decades, their second ground breaking album 'Nevermind' still inspires and attracts new audiences and other artists with its alternative rock/grunge sound. Kurt Cobain was considered as a spokesman for the youth of the early 90's with his image, powerful lyrics and performances and still today is considered an icon. Even 20 years after this album was released and 17 years after the lead singers death I have noticed that he has not been forgotten. I see him on t-shirts, posters and even hair styles, much like Bowie. Due to the 20 year anniversary i have noticed that this merchandise is hitting the shops again, being repackaged in newer designs and forms. Here is an example of a t-shirt that I brought from Primark two days ago with the original album cover next to it. This really made me question: why did I buy this t-shirt? I noticed that many music fans have T-shirts of their favourite bands. Do I want people to see me and instantly know I'm a Nirvana fan? How much does a persons fashion sense or image tell you about their personality and do people knowingly convey this to the world to be maybe pre-judged?

On another point I noticed my bedsheets (also captured in the picture) follow a New Wave colour scheme. Guess that I'm starting to see a lot of influences in the things I buy :/
