    I’ve been told I dress like a “Texas Oil Tycoon”. Basically bolo tie, light colored suit or sports coat, and a Stetson. Considering I primarily listen to country music from the second half of the 20th century, I think it fits. I also play the fiddle (poorly), so it works.

    I like a wide variety of music styles, from Bach to Deep Purple, from Sade to Front 242, from Wagner to Technotronic, but according to my family, none of them were created after the 90s.

    And I dress jeans with whatever is on the top when I open the shirt drawers. But I open the polo shirts drawer on workdays and the t-shirt drawer on weekends. My wife sometimes shuffles my clothes in the drawer so I don’t keep rotating the same ones forever. She also sometimes throws away some of my clothes, unannounced. Can’t believe she threw away a hoodie from my uni, brand new, from 1988. I can’t say fashion means much to me ;-)

    Metal band tshirts and jeans. I like cool art though, not gory stuff. This is my favorite shirt design right now

    Not me in the pic, just the model they used for this shirt.

  • I like bright colors and cute patterns. Most of my shirts are from Hyena Agenda or Nomad Complex, or bespoke from Etsy producers. Though I am noticing a resurgence in 90’s styles like DayGlo shit and I’m starting to get some of that because the 90’s are my jam.

    My music is also stuck in the 90’s; I primarily listen to Grunge. The entire genre lived and pretty much died in the 90’s.

    For fashion, I wander between third-wave hipster and dadcore.

    For music, I have exclectic taste, but mostly listen to hard rock, traditional folk, deathmetal, and alt-pop.

      Realized I answered with what I consume, rather than what I produce.

      I sing folk songs but don’t record; I can run sound for live shows and have for a variety of acts.

      For fashion, I used to make bags out of old pairs of pants, purses and small backpacks; and accent ripped clothes with different fabrics.

    My two favorite ways I’ve heard my style described is “tiki lumberjack” and “hipster unabomber”

    I’m a somewhat burly dude with a shaved head, longish beard and curly mustache

    In the winter I tend to favor flannel shirts, and military style jackets or a pea coat, usually a knit hat when it’s cold, and normally wear dark sunglasses, giving me apparently that hipster unabomber look.

    In the summer I swap the flannels and jackets for Hawaiian shirts.

    I listen to a lot of ska, folk metal, and classic rock for the most part, but just about anything is on the table, a little bit of everything tends to come on when I hit shuffle.

    Nowadays I just wear boring old tees and jeans, with most tees being merchandise of games, computer stuff, or music. But nothing too out of the ordenary, just your average nerd. And I’m happy that way.

    When I was younger I was deep into heavy metal, especially underground black, and dressed the part. Those days, while I hold them dear, are long gone. Now I listen to nearly anything depending on my mood. Beside hardcore and related stuff, as that’ll give me a migraine. Club EDM is cool tho. My taste is now going from that old underground black metal all the way to K/J/C/V-pop with nearly anything in between. Springsteen gotta be my all time favourite artist.

    The only fashion someone could possibly mistake me for having is casual lumberjack in the winter, permanent vacation in the summer. Seriously, comfy plaid shirts when it’s cold. Soft, breathable Hawaiian shirts when it’s hot.

    As for music, I’ve played bass for over 20 years, electric, acoustic, and stand up. Also trombone, baritone horn, trumpet, drums. My preference is blues, jazz, and classic rock, but I’ll play any thing fun. Before twitch cracked down on music, I’d take any request people could find on Rocksmith. Metal requests were usually pretty fun, if they weren’t too repetitive. There’s a lot of metal that’s like “play this same 8th note 64 times, now another 16, pause, another 16, pause, another 16, repeat…”
