In 2016 Supreme released their Fall/Winter collection. This collection came with a set of t-shirts, one of them being this piece with a rather controversial quote. The quote “They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do.” is a famous quote from Philip Larkin. The poem reads as following :
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.
