My 1st leather jacket had spikes, chains, skulls and a Sex Pistols backpatch. People avoided me unless they were into punk--and let's face it--isn't that exactly why we dress that way? To ward off the mainstream?
My second backpatch was the Misfits and some ghetto gangbanger asked me if they were a biker gang or something because he noticed it was mainly white males in leather jackets that wore Misfits stuff.
It's not like the Sex Pistols or Misfits are obscure. They're 2 of the biggest punk bands ever. So, I can see where the Sex Gang Children might attract even more attention.
I've been thinking of painting the Bauhaus face on my new leather jacket without the word Bauhaus anywhere on it. Anyone who asks, "What does that mean" will get an automatic fail.
Besides, bands like Sex Gang Children, Sex Pistols and several other punk/goth bands picked their names because they offended the mainstream, so negative reactions aren't surprising.
