I think it's pretty lame for a kid to be wearing a shirt of a band they've never heard of, if the kids parents don't even like their music.

I have a Grateful Dead t-shirt I always wore as a child (handed down from my brother) that I liked because it was soft, comfy, and I liked the design and colors. Had no idea it was a even a band t-shirt until many years later.
I'm still not a Grateful Dead fan, but I still like the shirt.
I certainly agree that a 4-year-old likely isn't trying to make any kind of grand statements with their sartorial choices, but I hardly see anything lame about it.

That's fine that you don't. I actually like the Ramones, though, so it does seem pretty lame to me.
I've gotten a bit too big lately to feel comfortable trying to dress feminine, which is actually one of my motivations for losing weight haha.
Fair enough.
This has always been my thoughts too. I think it's part of why I just don't 'get' fashion. I don't understand why so much emphasis is placed on what we wear. And it's at both ends of the scale - whether it's should girls wear pink right through to is it okay to wear last years Chanel to lunch? It just doesn't make sense to me that people spend so much time and energy on something so...so.

Haha, that's not what I meant at all... I actually love fashion and makeup and stuff like that. Making deliberate choices about what you wear is great, but it's kind of bizarre when people have decided that certain bits of fabric are "right" and "wrong" for other people to wear.
I like fashion, too. It's an artform and a way for people to express themselves. Trends exist, but they exist in film, music, and literature as well.

Apparently the desire to be called "John" isn't a phase, as the child's name is changed to Shiloh John Jolie-Pitt, and articles are beginning to call the kidlet by a gender-neutral pronoun of "they" rather than he or she.
It's great to see such support by not only Shiloh's mom and dad, but also by the press. I still read "they" as plural, and wish there was a mainstream alternative, but it's a wonderful gesture none the less.
