I'd like to know what "really cool events" Adam has not been invited to that you know of. You know this whole discussion uncomfortably reminds me of the "too gay" complaints and discussions on how Adam should "not be so gay" in order to gain acceptance. As far as I am concerned Adam himself has repeatedly defended our right to dress how we want and show up at his events and even act crazy. He did that again just last night inviting the "crazy" fan up on stage. If you think he was ridiculing her then you weren't watching closely. He LOVED her "crazy". Adam himself has NEVER ONCE asked his fans to "tone it down" other than excessive requesting. He has said that he ENJOYED seeing fans over and over again at shows. That it challenged him to make every show different and it gave him strength knowing that his fans were so passionate. For gods sake he recently joked about everybody dressing as bumble bees for the trespassing tour which I doubt he would have done if he was worried about his fans effect on others opinions. Adam has ENCOURAGED people to dress up and be crazy. Adam himself has not shied away from acknowledging his older female fans.
BTW Gaga has plenty of older fans who dress up and act crazy and the DJ's have even poked fun at them even while running contests that encouraged it so when they use that as some kind of excuse for not playing Adam's songs you can rest assured that they are covering for something else. Those who choose to focus on that will go out of their way to find evidence to support their theory. Just like on of the stations on this last radio promo tour who choose to focus on the "older fan" meme even when their own website m&g photos showed a high percentage of young fans.
Yes, it is an uphill battle for Adam but not worth shaming people about by ridiculing them or judging them for how they dress at radio shows. I take my cue from Adam and he has NEVER allowed media to denigrate his fans so I don't understand why we would do that to each other.
