Minute Cryptic - 17 October, 2025 (enjoyable clue. I had a dream last night about middle-aged gigging, which is a growth industry because of demographic and cultural shifts, and it was pretty much the same as teenaged gigging but more boring, there were babysitting arrangements and an even greater emphasis on cosplay. What distinguishes cosplay from fashion is that fashion is now. There can be retro fashions but the fashion is that it's rearranged for now. I don't think I'd like to dress like any of the fashions from my youth. I think if I went to see any of the bands I liked in my youth I'd dress uncle casual - expensive enough to last but tolerable of wear because it's comfortable. Gigging in the middle ages was a whole different thing and shouldn't be confused with middle aged giggling because despite Oasis' ticket prices, and in the spirit of fairness - inflationary effects/interest/Noel's house parties/Liam's collection of fancy Warhammer themed wooden kitchenware etc, you will get mocked by geography teachers with Paul Weller haircuts for wearing a chaperon.)
