Vintage Pearl Jam Choices 90s

The vintage Pearl Jam “Choices” t-shirt from the 1990s is a powerful statement against gun violence, directly linked to the band’s song “Jeremy” from their debut album Ten. The shirt’s front features a black and white photo of a little girl, Jessica Curtis (the daughter of the band’s manager), sitting between a pile of crayons and a revolver. This imagery echoes the controversial music video for “Jeremy,” which tells the story of a real-life teenager, Jeremy Wade Delle, who committed suicide in front of his classmates in 1991. The back of the shirt, with the phrase “9 out of 10 kids prefer crayons to guns,” is a sardonic commentary on the tragedy, suggesting that a majority of children would choose creative expression over violence, with the “1 out of 10” subtly referencing Jeremy and the choice he made. The shirt’s design and message serve as a poignant and enduring piece of social commentary on a topic that remains tragically relevant.
