In the 1970s, Deadheads looked like this.
During the third-wave ska-punk revival, Rude Boys looked like this.
In the oughts, emo kids looked like this.
Terrifyingly enough, fans of Insane Clown Posse, commonly referred to as juggalos, look like this.
That being said, not too many folks wear their music on their sleeves anymore. On a hot summer day, when we had nothing better to do, NBN hit the Lakefill and took pictures of some students taking time off. In the Dillo spirit, we asked these students what their fav musical artists were in hopes of determining whether or not their style might betray their musical tastes. We never could have guessed by looking at them. Can you?
And one last question. Was Paul Newman ever a musician?
