A group of us who had front row seats at a folk concert were approached by a guy who started his conversation by saying, "Oh look at all the good folkies in their folkie clothes." After making this somewhat snarky comment, he went on to ask if one of us would take his back row seat so he could have a front row seat. Needless to say, he didn't get much traction. My question for him was, "Are we dressed like this because these are folkie clothes, or are these folkie clothes because we're wearing them?"
