Some people think grown men shouldn't be in shorts in public beyond active things or the beach.

I live in New Orleans and go gently caress yourself if you expect me to not wear shorts to an outdoor show in the months of May-September.

I agree when you go see a show at Rush Limbaughs taint, in August in the FL panhandle. You should be allowed to wear shorts.

But like we're talking about

I've never been to a outdoor concert that wasn't seated and held in fall/spring.

Every GA show I've gone to has been inside a venue and all AFs are at stadiums this tour I think.

Arcade Fire's album release show will be held at this distinctly elegant, yet affordable venue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC6AzmXrNbU

Austin has quite a few venues where the performance area is mostly or partly outdoors (Stubb's, Mohawk, Emo's, etc.) and they can get absolutely brutal in the summer. It gets to a point where I'm like "you're lucky I'm still wearing my own skin".

Can someone make an Arcade Fire thread so we can not have this conversation here? I mean, I kind of like the new album but seriously.

On another note, the new SHEER MAG album is awesome. Might be my AOTY so far. Listen here: https://sheermag.bandcamp.com/

Lol there is no amount of pissing off of hipsters that Arcade Fire will do that I do not find funny and endearing/loving. They're like the anti-FJM at this point.

Same.

That and the interlude-y/punny nature of Infinite Content are the only low points imo. And even the fast version of IC sounds like an "Empty Room" style barn burner they decided to dump for some reason.

even as someone who wouldnt be caught dead wearing shorts in public, i cant imagine actually caring enough about someone elses clothing choices to get legit mad about it. but apparently people like that exist. always learning something new here in the indie rock thread.

People care very much about other's clothing choices... don't tell me you've never heard people analyze every aspect of someone's wardrobe/style out in public.

I mean the whole "hipster" thing is at it's peak we could all say right? So the smugness that comes from that whole thing is even stronger now more than ever with social media, memes, and the "i'm so different and quirky" mindset that is now the norm for young adults.

I don't know... basically the average 20 something is a hipster now. It's the mainstream and I don't think it's in decline yet based on what's currently popular. I do live in a major city though so my view is a bit skewed I am sure coming from growing up in a smaller city in the mid west.

The term hipster is one thing, the actual type of person who would be defined is the norm now.

Yeah I guess you're right with that, hippies did explode into the mainstream in their day.. punk stuff had it's day, grunge was huge. Yep.

The question is what comes next for the rock subculture.... it's all kind of jumbled now i'd say?

Audrey Hepburn was the original manic pixie girl and that was back in the 50's. I'm pretty sure you could keep this going all the way back to Freud and the invention of the modern concept of childhood.
