Behind the Meme

Wear the manifesto that makes every inhale feel questionable.

Tom A.F. Brocchieri, aka @brockbrockbrock, reigns as the #1 modern absurdist artist, twisting everyday truths into fever-dreams.

This "Breathing is a Hoax" art captures the philosophy, where holding your breath becomes the ultimate rebellion.

The Lore

Born from the post-2018 surreal meme renaissance, this hoodie channels the surreal meme aesthetic and the conspiracore movement. The grotesque "Suffocating Man" illustration—rendered in etched seafoam and ink blue—captures the absurdist rejection of toxic positivity. Because sometimes the only rational response to modern existence is to question whether breathing itself is just elaborate propaganda.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the print cover the inside of the hood too?

Yes, the print covers the entire hood interior and exterior thanks to our double-lining approach. This creates a structured, premium appearance and prevents the flat, flimsy look of single-lined hoods. The brushed interior feels soft against your neck while maintaining sharp, fully saturated design coverage throughout the garment.

Is this a heavyweight or midweight hoodie?

This is a heavy midweight at approximately 300gsm recycled polyester fleece. The brushed interior adds substantial loft and density without excess bulk, making it ideal for layering or standalone wear in cool weather. The fabric's weight helps the sublimated print appear more premium while maintaining breathability and comfort during active use.

Will it pill after washing?

Pilling is rare with this fabric. The high-quality recycled poly fleece features longer, more tightly spun fibers than budget cotton blends, preventing those annoying fuzz balls. With proper care—cold wash and air dry—the surface stays smooth and valid for years rather than months. The fiber construction is specifically engineered to resist degradation.

Why polyester instead of cotton fleece?

Recycled poly fleece enables all-over prints that never fade or crack, something cotton simply cannot deliver. The brushed interior feels as cozy as vintage fleece while holding its shape better after washing—no shrinkage, consistent fit. The recycled material is a major sustainability win for conscious shoppers without compromising on comfort or durability.
