Extremely overpriced brand of Graphic tee-shirts. Typically known as a status symbol among chads. If it's a graphic tee you're after, there are many FAR cheaper options that not only look better, but are less likely to cause others to associate you with douchebag status. It's recommended that you avoid Affliction if you have any self respect whatsoever.
Dude 1: Dude, that's a pretty rad shirt, is that Affliction?
Dude 2: Fuck that! only a moron would spend $100 on an Affliction t-shirt. This one was 15 bucks, and it looks better!
Dude 1: Really? goddamn, I feel like a moron for wasting my money now..

A subgenre of metal music, considered by many to be the original extreme metal genre. It essentially began as a derivative of speed metal, played by bands like Motorhead and Overkill. Thrash metal took the high speed aspect of such bands, and added NWOBHM influenced melodies, and more progressive elements to the music.
Thrash metal's origins trace back to the early 1980's, and San Fransisco is considered the birthplace of most of the thrash greats. Thrash metal bands include Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Kreator, etc. It has proved to be very influential to almost every metal style that has come about since it's inception, and has experienced somewhat of a popularity revival in recent years.
