It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Good Question

When I was a teen, these bands appealed to two different groups

Deadheads were mostly Trustafarians....kids with too much money to "blow" while acting like poseur and wannabe hippies. I knew more than a few who blew through inheritances and trust funds following the Dead around for several years.

Heavy Metal crowd (a/k/a "Burnouts") mostly wore black t-shirts, black jeans, black sneakers even during the summer months. They were the blue collar opposites of the Dead-Trustfund kids.

SD fans were mostly the artsy crowd who's dry humor went completely over the heads of the jocks and cheerleaders.

I straddled some invisible line between the SD crowd and the punk/new wavers. Common ground was hatred of Disco, disdain for the Deadheads and Burnouts.

I remain a fan of SD and punk / new wave.
