Get the generic mug.When you go to a music or other festival, you will usually see people wearing a few different types of t-shirts. There will be several t-shirts (usually event t-shirts) that are the same at almost every festival you go to, hence they are common or generic to the festival. These hark back to the uniform wearing days of the festival going punter.
Yo, check out the dudes with their Generic Festival T-Shirts, must've hit up the merch tent together. How cute.
