We're a small crew obsessed with 90s cartoons, Y2K flip phones, and the chaos of internet culture — turning that obsession into tees you'll actually want to live in.
PopRiot began in 2023 as a side hustle between classes — one heat press, a pile of blank tees, and an unreasonable amount of arguing about which 90s cartoon had the best villain.
What started as prints for friends turned into weekly drops, then a whole community of people who grew up on the same shows, songs and memes — and wanted to wear that nostalgia loud and proud.
Every graphic is illustrated in-house — no stock clipart, no generic templates. If it's not original, it's not going on a PopRiot tee.
240 GSM combed cotton, reinforced stitching, prints tested to survive 30+ washes. Small batches so quality control never slips.
Every tee is cut, printed and packed by local manufacturing partners we've worked with since day one.
"We're not trying to be a nostalgia museum — we're trying to make the stuff we loved growing up feel current again. Every drop starts with 'would I actually wear this to college?' If the answer's no, it doesn't ship."
Sold out in 48 hours to our own college hostel.
