It's now awaiting review in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Niche/Genre_and_Subculture because it spans more than one genre. There's a bit more shuffling needs doing in that area, but we're getting there.

Your site is no longer in the unreviewed section of
http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Niche/Genre_and_Subculture
It appears to have been accidently deleted from the category while someone was pruning duplicate submissions. However, you are currently pending review in
http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Clothing/Casual/T-Shirts/
along with multiple hundreds of other sites.
Now before you say that is not the right category for you to be in I have to say that I reviewed your site myself and agree with its placement. It is true you have a sports section and a music section but all that I saw there were a couple of links to amazon.com, and we do not count affiliate links as content anyway.
The only thing you currently sell is T-shirts and some buttons so the T-shirts category is where you fit.
Best Regards.

At this point I really don't care what category I'm in, just that I'm in the ODP. A few hundred sites ahead of mine in the T-shirts category cause someone keeps bouncing my site from category to category and putting it at the tail is quite annoying.
Also, the 2 amazon links aren't content, nor are they supposed to be. They are their because Matt Lindy who is a sponsor of ours (by the fact he's on our sports page and noted in the News section as skating in events wearing our clothes) and the bands we have listed wear our clothes on stage, and linking to products they are in is helpful to me and them.
If the fact that I only have T-Shirts and a few buttons thus far and someone feels that's the only valuable product then place it in T-Shirts. But please don't comment on my content if you don't understand what it is nor have the time to truly evaluate ALL of it.

The reason we are here and volunteer our time IS to evaluate content. After looking at your site, the only thing you sell are T-Shirts and buttons, and you DID suggest to a Shopping sub-cat. So, within the confides of the Shopping guidelines, editors are going to review your site based upon the Shopping content (items for sale). Again, that would be T-shirts and buttons.

You might want to think of this: if the ODP editors, who donate good portions of their life surfing websites and evaluating the content, don't understand what you are presenting on your website, then can you be reasonably positive that your target customers will immediately recognize what you are offering?
