If you've ever worn a band t-shirt out in public, there's a very high chance you've been asked this question.
A woman has gone viral after sharing a video on TikTok of the aftermath of a hilariously awkward encounter that has had commenters rushing to suggest appropriate replies.
It's the bane of every female music fan's life, when you're just trying to mind your own business and someone challenges you.
The woman, called Jo, shared a TikTok video captioned: "I don't know how I should feel about this..." of her sitting in a diner moments after the incident.

Wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the logo for the band Bad Habits, she sits awkwardly wondering what just happened.
On the video she explained: "Guys, I was casually waiting for my food wearing my band's merch and a guy came up to me and asked me to name three songs."
Problem is... Jo is the singer of the band he's asking about. Awks.

She puts her head in her hands in dismay at the question.
Fans of the band and TikTok users took to the comment section to give Jo possible answers she could use, as well as sharing their own experiences of being challenged about being fans of a band.
"You should have countered with 'name three people in the band' replied one viewer.
"Someone else said 'name three women who trust you?' but don't give them time to reply and say that's what I thought' " added another, savagely, while one genius suggested: "Oh please, you wouldn't recognise the band if they were sitting in front of you' followed by the most intense stare ever."

The creativity continued in the comments section, with people revelling in the ways you could take someone down for asking such a thing.
"Name three songs and name one band member?" suggested another, while someone else added: "I'd tell him to name all the band members, that usually gets them angry, especially when it clicks."

"Name the band members... you can't. Want to know how I know you can't?" was one idea.
"Should've named three unreleased tracks" said one fan, in the ultimate power move.
Another shared their despair: "I've never understood why people do that. Concert tees, jerseys etc, it doesn't matter!"
It's worked well in the end though, as people are promising to check out Jo's band.

"Never heard of your band but I'm gonna look you up!" wrote one new fan.
