Brand spanking new, we talking about USD 30. That's how I roll. Only Hi-Quarity. With a kickstand. Act like you know.
Then somebody jacked my bike last night. Dayam Debo.

Anyway, got a chance to go back to the MIDI Fest this past Friday.
Besides that last act in the video clip, a lot of the bands were not, well, mindblowing. I had to remind myself how new all this "youth culture" is for China's young generation. It's kind of developing in a vacuum, with no real precedence besides the good ol' propaganda songs ("Socialism Rules!").
One thing about the Midi Festival I noticed was the relative ease in getting a beer. Given that thousands of people were there, the wait was only 5 minutes. In the US I would imagine at least a 20-30 minute wait. Not sure if this is related, but the crowd did seem rather sober...
Scanning the crowd, though, the festival felt quite similar to a music festival back home. Obviously a lot the kids are taking their cue from outside, such as USandA.
For example, saw some Chinese Slayer looking dudes.

Some crowd surfing.

Sk8 or die little sha!

The electronic music stage starting to get warmed up.

Trees.

Lee Jeans had an arts and crafts booth for people to make their own t-shirts. Commerce + DIY!

Megadeth plus Lou Vee. Obviously.
--
Vendors hawking their wares. "Dude the rainbow-colored clown wig is sooooo last year. Have you seen our all-purple one?"
--
"Are you sure a medium will fit me? Can I just try this on?"
--
Some Mr. T fans.
--
As Nas once said: One mic. (plus one meat on a stick).
--
Rihanna fans.
