Klosterman has a neat article about how and why certain musicians have such fanatical fanbases with particular attention to the subset that dress to look similar to or just like their idols. Accompanying is this completely sweet quiz which asks you to identify the artist the fans are going to see.
Reading the Klosterman article, I would like to note an omission: the Insane Clown Posse belongs on the top 10 list somewhere between 0 and 1.
I disagree with MrFlip. I got one and two, as well as the repeat artist each time, other than that, I got nothing. For the kids I totally guessed wrong, but I stand by the fact that the fans for the artist I guessed would look just the same.
1 or 2 of them are ungettable -- specifically #15 and maybe #12. I bet I misguessed that same as you on the kids.
Also Re: the article--I don't understand bringing up Tori Amos in a discussion about how fans at concerts dress in a uniform. As one of her fans, I admidt that they are crazy and devoted, but there really isn't a Tori Amos uniform that you wear to go see her, รก la the Radiohead stripe.
I got like...2.
that's impressively sucky ttj -- at least three of the clues have their answer in print in the photo :) Did katsa take the quiz? I'm guessing schooled both of us.
V -- I think the Tori fans wear their uniform on the inside.
katsa got the same two I did, plus a 3rd.
*shrug*

Yay Quiz! It's been a while.
I got 8/15. I will tell you that
* 1 or 2 are (I think) ungettable,
* there is one repeated artist.
* I can't fucking believe I missed #8
* I could not have been more wrong about #13, and
* I still can't believe #9.
