Why?
Because it suggests that the artist has put some...thought? effort? something like that...into their performance.
Odd. Most orchestras have everyone dressed the same, every time. Is their performance 'thoughtless'?
I really cannot think of anything less relevant to a live performance than the way anyone is dressed. (Unless it's central to the show, I suppose)
I mean, personally, Todd Rundgren posturing in his pink hair
with ankh-spaped electric guitar is more likely to keep my attention
that Liam Gallagher in a hoody, squatting onstage like he's about to
take a dump.
Does that really keep your attention? For how long? Why?
Well as long as I'm interested in the music I suppose. It is more interesting to watch while you're listening to the music.
Well...good for you. I can't see either one or the other holding my attention for any longer than the other.
