Late last year NY streetwear company Mishka, in association with long-time object of my sartorial affection New Era, launched its homage to Tipper Gore’s legacy, not to mention the spate of hardworking, albeit profane, rap groups branded with the infamous “parental advisory” warning with their aptly named “Advisory” Snapback Cap. It should be noted that Tipper’s attempt to defy the laws of reverse psychology was an utter failure, and merely emboldened young impressionable white kids like myself to line the pockets of the very people she’d tried stifle, and that it came to be a badge of honor for the kinds of acts that haunt the dreams of white suburban moms to this day. The warning’s abject inefficiency notwithstanding, its titular logo does look sweet on a hat. But alas, as I am perpetually sleeping on cool things only to find out about them months and sometimes year later, I have missed the boat on copping one. If you find one, or happen to be an early adopter who got one when it was trending and haven't beat it to shit, we should talk.

The "Fuck you" is a classy touch.
