photography \/\/ Levi Thompson & Matthew Barron<\/a><\/em> Let\u2019s face it, with Rap\/R&B now listed as America\u2019s most popular music genre — Soundcloud rappers included — \u201cclout\u201d is more important than ever. According to the dictionary, clout is defined as \u201cinfluence or power, especially in politics or business.\u201d Today, the term is interchangeably used throughout the hip-hop community to reference an individual’s style, influence, livelihood or accomplishments.<\/p>\n Presumably, the closer one\u2019s outfit can get to a Migos ‘fit, the more clout they have amongst their peers.<\/p>\n While fashion-forward artists like Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti<\/strong> continue to influence the culture with their multifaceted style choices, fans (as always) have been quick to follow. As a result, items like the Kurt Cobain-inspired \u201cclout goggles\u201d and A$AP Mob co-signed Air Force 1 Customs have both received the mainstream\/viral treatment this year.<\/p>\n Though trends may be poppin’ on the ‘gram, unless you\u2019re attending one of these fashionable artist\u2019s concerts it can be hard to find \u201cclout\u201d culture in real life. So, in an effort to see what types of trends rap fans are engaging in, we decided to join Playboi Carti during the sold-out Texas leg of his self-titled tour.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe rage out here,\u201d said 21-year old Carti attendee LJ Aleman. \u201cLook around, you won\u2019t see anyone wearing any heat kicks, \u2018cause we know they\u2019ll just get f***** up in the [mosh] pit. That\u2019s why everyone\u2019s wearing Vans.\u201d<\/p>\n Beater kicks aside, Carti fans came correct with their wardrobes. Some came to the shows dressed to rage — and wait in line in the Texas heat — others came dressed in $200 t-shirts.<\/p>\n Take a look at the most notable fashion choices we saw during our time on the road. If you\u2019ve ever googled \u201cWhat to wear to a rap concert,\u201d<\/em> this one is for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Special thanks to ScoreMore Shows<\/a> & C3 Presents<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" photography \/\/ Levi Thompson & Matthew Barron words \/\/ Matthew Barron Let\u2019s face it, with Rap\/R&B now listed as America\u2019s…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":328303,"featured_media":549241,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1727],"tags":[1230003],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
