The Phenomonen Of The BTN

A BTN (Black T-Shirt Night) is a style of fashion performed by one or more persons during a social outing, usually on a Friday or Saturday night. This will require him/her/them to wear a black t-shirt (typically with minimal graphics), often also accompanied by other black garments. It has become common to practice the black t-shirt/black hat combination. 'EMO' (Emotional person) style is unacceptable etiquette for a BTN. Tight jeans (especially black) are considered an abhorrent fashion crime resulting in the death of puppies and baby fur seals. BTN's are often combined with Blues/Rock Music, Whiskey and good times.

Some BTN's are held in honor of a specific person, day, or event (e.g., a birthday party, Mardi Gras, or a flat warming). Occasions of this kind are often called a Super-BTN.

A BTN is by private invitation occasion, my rhymes are notoriously caucasian. Public displays are sometimes held in pubs and bars, and people attending such parties may be told to 'get the f__k out' if they are not in BTN regalia.

The Rich History

The BTN in its entirety was formed around 2006 by Hamish Abel and Jonathan McKeown in Wellington, New Zealand. It was pioneered in such 'good time joints' as Blend (only on ladies night), Kitty O'Sheas, Molly Malones, The Southern Cross and many others.

Long live the BTN.
