Rockism Sucks and Poptimist Shirt: 

I focused on rock criticism and teen fan magazines... and I have to say, I am tired of rockism. As was evident in my research, on teen fan mags and Wings, and in many conversations on the fab podcasts listed below.

As I argue in my research, we need to move past it in the way we talk and write about music, and how many belittle fandoms of other genres. Disco didn't suck, maybe Detroit did, but Rockism does.  Grab a rockism sucks or poptimist shirt... or fly your flag as a rockist.
