No one cares how old you are as long as don't act like a creep. When I was going to shows and raves early 2k, there were still old heads going with parachute pants and beads. Don't know now after COVID, since I've seen videos without PLUR and becoming more of an influencer show now.
I'll dust off my finest Hawaiian shirt, I may have to go to Goodwill to get my parachute pants back though.
Fuck yeah! Have fun, friend!
Hell, Aioki himself turns 46 this month... I think you're overthinking it.
I don't think you'll have much of an issue. He started getting mainstream success over 10 years ago, and he's in his 40's.
There are always older peeps in rave, festivals, concerts, discos... no one cares, and to be fair, I don't think most people in communitiy would take kindly to ageisim. Enjoy!
- Have fun, publicly and obviously
- Be clean and dressed not too far out of the norm for the fandom (according to the subculture norms, not familiar with the artist in question)
- Don't approach anyone with any kind of sexual hints, even if ambiguous
- Act like you know others will make fun of you for being a creepy old guy, show you own it
Go with confidence my friend
Is everyone a bot in here?! When did he change his name to Aioki???
By the way.,.yes, we're all bots... Go deal with your captchas, human.
Would you prefer that people referred to the guy as the Benihana kid?
Lol a bot would have spelled it right. I'm leaving my mistake, and basking in it.
Lol I was just going to google it
I mean…
Keep you eyes on the show and not the kids?
I saw him at a festival years ago and the crowd was quite mixed, I don't think you'd look out of place at all.
Yeah.. dudes been active since the 90s. Is his crowd considered young?
If Band Maid can fill a venue with 40 to 50 year old dudes banging their heads to a group of girls in maid outfits playing rock and roll, you should be fine at a Steve Aioki concert. Just don't act like an actual creep and no one will care.
This sounds a tad vain, however, it would probably depend on how you dress (and act)
