@Skullvalanche I wouldn't have thought twice about this shirt if I didn't get the hint that it's meant to be provocative. I'm still not sure what the exact swap is even if I understand the concept.
The Cure, The Smiths and Joy Division are all prominent bands from the “80s gothy new wave” genre this is poking fun at. They could passingly be confused for one another, if one isn’t deeply familiar with the genre.
The silhouette is an iconic image of Robert Smith, the lead singer from The Cure.
The Smiths (band), ironcally, had no members named Smith.
“Love Will Tear Us Apart” is the best known hit song by Joy Divison.
