Music Festivals: a Place for AltBros

[Photo by David Hill][via p4k acl recap]

I remember back when meaningfulcore was about to take over the world, it was important to prove that ur personal brand clearly indicated that u liked certain bands.  There used to be subtle ways of proving that you listened to DeathCab/ur fave band.
These days, things r really different.  People are going out of their way to prove that they 'get' artists like no1 else gets them.  The bro above constructed a double-sided sign so that he could watch 2 of his favourite artists at the Austin City Limits Music Festival.  He loves MGMT & CSS.

I feel like music festivals are the new sporting events.  A place where bros go to hold up signs that prove that they 'get'/'authentically enjoy' certain events/artists.

srsly tho... music is getting mainstream. next thing u know, Ur uncool dad will run into you at a music festival with a quirky, overdesigned-without-a-computer posterboard sign.

Do yall bring 'fun props' 2 concerts 2 prove that ur the #1 fan in the world?
