The Art of Normal!

While bands often try to make themselves appear as “cool” as possible

Definition of cool, Baby!

I’ve noticed another visual trend in bands that often affects how they interact with others, perform and how mainstream they often try to be. It’s the “normal” look. Often distinguishable because there will almost always be someone wearing a plaid shirt. It was this look that has defined not only quite a few bands (pixies, Pavement, The fall) but the one of the characteristics of the grunge movement (Mudhoney, Nirvana) was this look.

We have multi-million dollar record deals and all I could afford was this shitty plaid shirt and jeans!
