I think generic accessories such as wristbands, necklaces, or sunglasses are sort of like Level 1 “LOOK @ ME” Props. It’s always important to take your LOOK @ ME factor the at least level 3. Making your own prop makes it clear that you are 300% deliberate about creating your personal brand.
(Note: There are 5 Levels on the LOOK@ME Scale.)
Does any one who has listened to electronic music for more than a year know how lightning bolts became co-branded withe electro-music? Is it a metaphor? Is the LIGHTNING BOLT the best symbol for electro?

Benjamin Franklin invented electro, duh.

I think the exclamation point (!) better exemplifies the electro-sound, but maybe that’s just me. Lightning bolts are too Harry Potter/wizard rock for me.

The lightning bolt symbolizes “this is REALLY happening, just DEAL with it”. Don’t be sentimental, cause the music aint. But I think the lightning bolt symbol hasnt meant much the last years. Because now people know that it REALLY happening. No need to tell. It was a fashion art prop long before DFA, though.
