Musicians on stage: wearing black socks.

[ToneMonkey]

I pretty much wear white socks most of the time. One band, fronted by two women, found THAT objectionable. WTAF?

 

[Frank Tuesday]

They're okay with black pants.

Everyone knows your socks should match your trousers.

Nope. Your socks should be any colour you like.

Black Socks=ok
Black Socks + White Sneakers= abomination

White socks = OK.
Black shoes + white socks = abomination

Dark colored socks make my feet stink worse.

 

[jnewmark]

Nothing wrong with black socks.

 

[arbiterusa]

Got nothing else but black socks, but then again, I don't wear shorts on stage.

 

[gln1955]

Be thankful you have feet.

Thats' right. And when I was your age, all we had were socks made out of feed sacks.

And we liked it!

What about those tube socks that went up to the knees?

 

[JRT64]

I wear what ever color socks I feel like wearing. As long as they are either white, black, navy blue, grey or khaki colored. Most of the time it's just white. I've been wearing mostly khaki or black slacks on stage, so nobody sees the socks. But seriously, if people start paying more attention to what color socks I'm wearing than the music I'm playing, then we have a problem. But in all honesty, I'm sure they could care less.

I mean really? Discuss....

Black socks are the adult norm for practically everything that requires leaving the trailer park.

That's a taboo? I only buy black because they dont show dirt...
Last I heard white socks were out of fashion. Did they come back on the same bus as mom jeans?


Maybe Jerry Lewis is making a comeback?

All my socks are black, same in every way; in the morning I don't have to choose anything, and if I lose one, I've still got a mate for it.

Focusing on the important things, I see.

White Socks = American
Black Socks = European, or "cool" according to my Irish brother-in-law.

Not yet. But closing the gap. Asymptotic?

 

[NKBassman]

Black from the waist down, 100% of the time, no question.

If you want to keep it apolitical you're left with very little to discuss. Even within a musician's forum.

Yes....really.
Not really a discussion.
