ironic tshirt spotted in williamsburg triggers panic of fading youth

while walking vincey to the park, i was shocked to see a guy perched outside the turkey's nest (local dive bar) in an Austin 3:16 shirt. at first i was perplexed. why was this guy wearing a stone cold steve austin shirt post 1997? did i really stumble upon a steve austin fan in williamsburg? and why the hell did i know what this shirt meant?

after initial confusion and mental discomfort, i realized this guy was wearing the shirt ironically. this guy wasn't a fan. in fact, over 10 years has passed since austin's epic rise in the wrestling world. (has it really been 10 years since that obnoxiousness!?!) 10 years is an adequate period of time for pop culture items to rise, fade, die and experience rebirth in a sarcastic hipster setting. witnessing this firsthand makes me feel old.
