My personal experience in this scene has always been really comfortable and not at all full of Kurt Cobain Haircut Dudes. Maybe I'm just oddly lucky, but most of the indie/hipster-type dudes I know are actually pretty feministy (even outright saying to people "I'm a feminist"). I'm definitely counting my blessings for them.

Also, I thought this was a pretty interesting take on "hipster style" as this sort of third gender territory since it really has become very androgynous. I actually just saw a guy shopping unintentionally in the girl section of a store. Though it didn't phase him, cause, who cares really? Skinny jeans are skinny jeans. http://www.autostraddle.com/evolution-of-the-lesbian-hipster-33279/

But I only have a very limited knowledge of the fashion world (a lot of my female friends are into it, so I guess it's mostly just a proximity thing), so if I'm totally talking out my ass right now someone please correct me.

In my experience, the indie rock scene is more balanced in terms of gender. Though not 50/50 yet, there are tons of revered and known indie rock gals creating music out there, and the indie kids I know listen to music by men and women pretty equally. Maybe it's because a lot of indie rock has an emphasis on strong and unique vocals, which leads to the desire for both male and female voices.

The fact that there was a high percentage of duditude at the Jenny Lewis concert is very interesting. Do you think the male focus in music makes a lot of concerts seem unappealing to women, or that the lack of a serious attitude towards female musicians is internalized?

(Also, I saw Jenny Lewis in London a few years ago, and the attendees were like 75 percent dude).

The singer from Rilo Kiley is Jenny Lewis, by the way. Her solo album "Acid Tongue" is quite nice.
