The Maine are part of the wave of sensitive boys who wear tight low slung pants and high tops with studded belts. Their fans have long straight hair parted on the side with one eye hidden and often wear cartoon T-shirts and Uggs.
This is a sub culture I steer clear of for numerous reasons. Mostly since whenever the sesitive boys open for another band (and they do all the time, always the bridesmaid never the bride) the parent drop off line clogs up the venue driveway and the pick up is just as bad. Then again I can always find a great parking spot.
The Maine have no distinguishing characteristics and if they come up on an iPod..they could be any band at all, or white noise.
See the below video where the band takes on a Neil Young classic, attempts to perform it with reverence and end up sounding like a nasal hot mess. The event was sponsored by Fender obviously, and the wall flowers have to be employees or perhaps the front office of the insurance agency next door in that strip mall.
This version is more painful than you can imagine- you've been warned.
