Les just looks like he put together his own eccentric look, while the dudes above look like they shop at the rock store or something. It's the off-the-shelf quality of all their gear that makes it look so dorky.

Cruello di Vil there on the right in the Offspring! If your bosses make you dress like that, you might as well start waiting tables at a theme restaurant.

It's tough for these bands. because they are going to be criticized either if they are trying to look young, or if they look too much like people their own age.
