It's a pandemic: guys in bands everywhere are suffering from anorexia. It's not cool! Throughout my years of attending shows, I've always noticed the large number of waif like emo/indie/hipster guys. Oh! This issue is not only prevalent with bands, but wait-staff at Raleigh Times. JK
Do they go overboard trying to fit into womens' jeans? Or are they just trying to slim down so they don't crush their hipster girlfriends when kickin' boots missionary style?
Who knows?! NOT ME! But I do know that it's getting out of control. Lots of guys are coming forward about having eating disorders- so many in fact, that the term "manorexic" has been created. Kings of Leon, Silverchair and The Darkness are all bands who've had food issues come out to the public. (The picture above is Ambulance LTD.)
Let's put these unhealthy standards to rest! I'm encouraging all the willowy hipsters to pick up a burger (or a falafel if they're vegan) and dig in! Let's make next Friday "National Anorexindie Boy Awareness Day."
On December 19, please wear a black ribbon on your lapel to show your support.
In all seriousness, anorexia is a serious issue! Also, I love Raleigh Times and their wait-staff!
