I was looking at this picture of a Dan Deacon concert, and it was kinda weird. I expected a bunch of entry-level altbros and female alts in headbands to be in the crowd. However, I feel like his audience has sort of weeded itself out. In this picture you will notice that every bro has one of the following physical traits:
- a beard
- glasses
- balding
I guess in a way, every1 wants to 'look like their favourite musician.' If it is a tween girl wanting to look like Hannah Montana, or a bro wanting to look like Dan Deacon, there is a certain 'kewl' aesthetic that surrounds a famous person. Think it's pretty interesting how no 'entry level girls' are at the front, maybe cuz the guys in the front might 'too mature'/'creppy'/'not their idea of a guy 2 randomly make out with at a Dan Deacon Concert.'
The audience is full of 'getting older' bros who 'actually like Dan Deacon's music. I'm not sure if I like his music. I don't think it is 'electro' even though it is made with electronic instruments. From what I have read, he has a new album out, but I think it probably sounds like his old albums, and that means it is 'pretty whatever.'
Maybe I should see him live, because I hear he puts on a conceptual show, but it seems like it would be some sort of sausagefest without any twinks, and I'm not sure if that's 'really my scene.' Also wish he'd perform on stage so that people could see him. Think he is 'trying to be artsy' or something, but he probs needs to 'sell out' and hire a female singer or something who is 'hella sexy.'
