I went to see Sammy Rae & the Friends (great jazz pop band from Brooklyn), and nearly everybody was dressed in 1970s costumes! I understand at a metal show people wear black, but this was next level, very maximalist and intricate costumes. Are concerts all costume parties now, or this unique?

    In their defense, plain 70s attire isn’t really a common style of fashion anymore* where rocker/metalhead is pretty common (even if people go all out at shows).

    Sounds like this artist has encouraged 70s vintage fashion or advertised a 70s show specifically. Still doesn’t make every show a costume party for hecks sake 😂, what a silly idea

    * In no way means to imply there’s no one out there doing it

        I mean different genres have different vibes, some encourage going all out like edm and goth. You never really have to. In fact it’s a joke that the guy dressed like he’s going to an accounting job is probably the craziest in the pit
