I'm trying to think of bands with diverse followers... kanye maybe?

i assume all those SA shows are just full of people from the Northeast.

There are white hispanics, y'know.

because why in the world would we pay any attention to the music what with ed being all dreamy an' stuff?

Why would anyone pay attention to the music at a Pearl Jam show?

Ted Nugent

I'm not trying to "prove" something with this thread, I'm just curious about this sort of thing

One of my best friends is a lesbian who is a Pearl Jam fan. Her girlfriend is also a Pearl Jam fan.

Oh, yeah... I forgot about that contingent.

I'm the only gay Pj fan I know of. There's gotta be others it I've never met em.

I never worked with any students who identified as hispanic. They'd hurl it as an insult, but they identified as Latino.

But a few were as pale as me, yeah.

Good call, though I suspect there are more women at the average Gathering of the Juggalos than there were in PJ20.

I don't know about average, but I can tell you I saw A LOT of ladies at the PJ in Brooklyn. I won't say half, because that's probably an exaggeration. But not far from. Nearly half of the people I saw walking into the Barclays Center (and I waited outside for 2.5 hours watching people walk in) were women.

Were they all fans? Probably their collar-popped polo shirt wearing boyfriends drug them there. But I can't possibly know that for sure. And I watched one lady try to ditch her man and go in alone because he was being a whiny bitch and she didn't want to miss the opening number.

But this is why anecdotal evidence is stupid. Also, why am I still typing?

I don't know. It might be about the same though. This is pretty much what I think of when I think the Wilco fan base / a Wilco concert (keep in mind, I love Wilco):

This thread, like so many at RM, is a circle jerk echo chamber.
