wasted german youth pays respect to the german language and some german music,
parallelly paying tribute to hardcore punk and electronic. it embraces the
beauty and the insanity of rave culture and acknowledges what berlin does best.

“i was sitting some sunday morning, in the garden at tresor, it was love parade,
it was hot and the buzz was very good and all around, me, everyone, so super wang.
i turned to my friend and said… these kids, all so fucked up. all of them,
so off their fuckin faces. just wasted german youth.
its just… wasted german youth”

that was 1999. 6 years later the time was right for a logo and some stickers,
the first tshirts were printed up and crazily enough history was written.
so with a couple of ideas and a zero euro marketing budget, WASTED GERMAN YOUTH
exploded in true underground style. today, the tshirts are to be seen on the
streets and discos and everywhere, and the internet has become a showdown
of dodgy fakes and wasted bootlegs.

this shop was finally created to simplify the flow of things and encourage some
new i really gotta have that tshirt tshirt. but despite it, wasted german youth
adheres to a concept of zero marketing, letting those who sport it to speak their
own and for the brand to make its own mark. despite wasted german youth being
basically just graphic design on a tshirt, maybe fashion and or even possibly art,
it yet again proves itself not to be a passing trend, but a concept to acknowledge,
and a lifestyle to live, and that proudly and true.

if you are interested in knowing more about wasted german youth,
or are interested in working with or for the label,
dont hesitate in getting in touch,
peace
