Weatherday

Observations: The average man at the show that looked to be age 20+ had an estimated height of 5' 6". Almost every person at the show was also white. n=50+

The average height of a white man in the USA is 5' 10"

Hypothesis #1: Shorter men are more likely to be bullied and have worse dating prospects -> more likely to be sad -> more likely to listen to sad music like Weatherday (I'm not citing any sources for these but I've read supporting studies/research for all claims)

Hypothesis #2: I've also observed a disproportionately high percentage of trans women at the show. I can't really estimate what the percentage was because I'm sure there were also many non-visible trans women. This may be explained by a reason similar to Hypothesis #1 in that the average trans woman seems pretty fucking sad, for many good reasons. If that's the case, then there is no Hypothesis #2. However, another plausible explanation is that since Weatherday is non-binary, there may be some trans solidarity or shared culture that makes it more likely for trans women to discover and enjoy their music. If that's the case, then this may also apply to trans man, as Weatherday's music isn't written for a female (or any gendered) audience. The average height of trans men in the USA is 5' 5", which is close to my observed average height of men at the show
