yup i used to dress up for shows. but that was when concerts were a novelty to me.
my first show was marilyn manson/hole in 1997 i believe.
i tried for the 'goth' look but ended up looking more like some 80's raver or something :-D
my hair was in 3 buns; one on the top and two on the sides. the rest of my hair was crimped. i had this pink nike vest on
while my friend wore a leopard print "pimp" jacket. i had black eyeliner on. blahblah.
i don't know. for shows i just wear what i'd normally wear anyday. it depends on my mood. sometimes i want to dress up and look more "indie" and wear one of my skirts. other times i just put on some brown slacks and a shirt or something. but i generally have a sort of 'indie' look, i guess.
i don't tend to wear band shirts at concerts though. in fact, i don't like band shirts at all. with the exception of my glassjaw shirt cos it's just cool :-D i used to be against band shirts completely (something about the people wearing them not REALLY being fans necessarily. but just want to look cool for a show) but now i just don't care. i buy them every now and then. although, i didn't know there was a fashion faux pas about not wearing the band shirt you bought at the concert/festival/whatever on the day you got them like everyone else. i don't mind that everyone looks the same.
