Sorry, you can’t buy a T-shirt or merch from a band or artist unless you know 10 of their songs. That’s what fans are saying in a new survey in which they break their silence on the unspoken rules of music merchandising.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For fans of folk music, K-pop and jazz, the number of songs is even higher; they must know at least thirteen if they want to get their hands on a T-shirt.<\/p>\n

The poll<\/strong><\/a> was conducted by Rush Order Tees, a website specialising in merchandising. ROT surveyed just over a thousand people about their beliefs and buying habits regarding the marketing of bands.<\/p>\n

The survey data comes at a time when\u00a0all things nostalgic are in vogue<\/strong><\/a>. As with vintage fashion, there is a generalised boom for the music of yesteryear and with it, the band merch and artists who are now music legends. A practice that, from the point of view of music fans, is questionable to say the least.<\/p>\n
