I spend probably too much time noticing what bands and musicians wear. It fascinates me that a lot of genres have uniforms of sorts. There’s always exceptions, of course, but here’s some I’ve noticed. Please add your own to this shit post.
Indie rock/folk: Ironic thrifted clothing (bonus if ill-fitting), unkempt hair, looking like you sleep on dirt
Metal/heavy music: All black, cut off black denim, band shirts, beards, visible tattoos, scowls
Electronic/DJ: techwear, puffer jacket, big sunglasses, fancy sneakers
Country: big hats, rodeo wear, leather cuffs, boutique distressed jeans
Emo: shirt from some small college or high school you didn’t attend, funny hat
