Urban Outfitters is selling a ridiculous homage to the 90s internet
America may have long ago unfriended MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson, but his likeness is apparently still worth big bucks at the country's number-one destination for hipster clothes.
Urban Outfitters is selling a long-sleeved tee emblazoned with the forgotten social network head's still-familiar face for a pricey $50.
The item is part of a collection that also includes clothes themed after other web has-beens like AOL and Napster.
At $45, the retailer's America Online T-shirt will set you back much more than even the priciest of the once-titan's service packages of its 90s heyday (top-tier was $25.90 per month).

And Napster may have helped the first generation of online pirates steal music for free in the 90s, but today its logo fetches $49 when printed on a shirt.
Now that these internet relics are evidently achieving retro chic, maybe all those free AOL discs were worth saving after all.
