      Typically, most who are trying to avoid attention don't do things that would bring attention to them. Like styling your hair a way that will definitely cause people to be curious about it. Bro out here looking like where's Waldo and his fans are trying to convince me he doesn't want attention when anyone with two eyes can point him out in a crowd@@bestdeath9995

      @@davidbotsford9139 Covering his face has nothing to do with his hair colour. Many people dye their hair pink. Not many people will recognise him without knowing his face. He doesn't want his face on the internet, in media, on billboards, public screens, posters etc. Even at gigs he tries to cover his face coz people take pics. People should just leave him alone and respect his decision. He can wear and dye his hair however he wants. He can cover his face if he wants to. Like I said it's really nobody's business. He's a talented musician and they make great music. That's all that matters.

Look back at the 2000s with nostalgia like us kids in the 2000s looked back at the 70s, it’s kind of funny that they think they’re being retro like Nirvana or other alternative bands from the 90s and 2000s that were really just copying the nostalgic feeling of the 70s :-) at least I can put on my old wardrobe and look pretty cool .
