There are definite regional sounds though, often with odd counterparts, for example there is a very distinctive German sound that is primarily influenced by New England in the late 90s, a French sound (and similar but not the same French Canadian sound) which is primarily influenced by San Diego circa 1990, and an Italian sound which is most like the Midwest in the mid-90s. Interestingly Brooklyn and Queens sound absolutely nothing alike. South Africa sounds like Queens or South Florida around the turn of the century.
I feel weird being able to identify all this, since most people upon hearing it are like "It's all just noise".
You know my whole neutral hoodie/band shirt/jeans outfit? People wear that EVERYWHERE. You can go to a show in Europe or even South Africa and people will be dressed the exact same way.
I spent many years going to a scene where everyone dressed the exact same way.....
it was Catholic school
It's obviously not a uniform or the "exact same way": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnWX85PnnfM
There's a ton of different fashion styles there. Just not any you'll likely see anyone wearing at mass.
How is this different from an environment, like a Catholic church, where it's acceptable to wear jeans, suits, chinos, bow ties, cords... whereas your people seem truly uniform.
If anything BRTD would be more likely to be accepted in his gear in a standard evangelical church than I would be at one of his concerts in my sport coat and slacks
