Dudes in Bands

Dudes in bands are the foundation of the scene. They’re scenesters’, hipsters’ and any other -sters’ bread and butter. Wether they’re fat or skinny, old or young, full of STDs or clean, drunk, sober, whatever particularity they may have it’s unimportant. As long as said dude plays something in some sort of remotely (even if it’s only on Twitter) successful band they’re a scenester magnet. I mean, i guess it makes sense…the scene is based on music, so without the dudes to make the bands there would be no scene, and thus no scene kids to love them and want to be them. Saporta, Bemis, and even the dudes in the background ( see: Josh from Four Year Strong ) can instantly become the center of every meet and greet the place their magic Sharpie on. The typical scene kid, in their never ending quest for a sliver of fame will listen attentively to the token band dude and desperately try to relate to them in hopes of some life tips… cause dudes in bands totally did the “how to be successful in life thing” the way it usually works out… My favorite thing about dudes in bands is that they stick out like a sore thumb, no matter where you are. In the city, they’ve got this swagger that only a musician could have. Not to mention the tight jeans, leather jackets and/or flannel and slip ons and/or badass leather boots. In a mall, they’re always the ones peddling CDs outside of Hot Topic in their scene as fuck sack hats and deep v’s. And at Wal-Marts, they’re the ones in the shitty vans in the parking lot, taking grills from outside and “returning” them for store credit to stock up on the Top Ramen. No matter how classy or trashy, they’ll always be a staple, and every scene kid will always pine for a tall glass of guitar player when they get the chance.
