Lately, I keep coming across videos that all start the same way: \u201cOutfit for a techno concert,\u201d \u201cWhat to wear to see M\u00e9trika,\u201d \u201cLooks for Primavera Sound,\u201d \u201cHow to dress for a rave,\u201d \u201cWhat to wear to a trap concert\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n\n
As you can probably imagine, the videos are less than a minute long and highlight a list of clothing items, a couple of musical references, and a selection of must-have accessories to make you look like you belong to the scene. To look like. <\/p>\n\n
And every time I see them, they make me wonder the same thing: At what point did we start needing a uniform to have experiences? At what point did putting together a certain outfit make you part of something, when the outfit was just a consequence of the group you belonged to?<\/p>\n\n
