In a cultural moment when men are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/beauty\/article\/70001\/1\/who-is-looksmaxxing-really-for-incel-culture-beauty-standards-men-misogyny\"><span>thinking about their appearance more than ever<\/span><\/a><span>, he arrives onstage with the vague disorientation of someone who couldn\u2019t care less if he is idolised for his looks or not (\u201cCameron looks so different when he washes his hair,\u201d reads one comment on a video of the band performing). And everyone laps it up. But Winter is only the latest example of a much older truth: musicians have always occupied a special category of attractiveness, one that relies on something more atmospheric and difficult to pin down than just looks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Since the 1840s, when Hungarian composer Franz Liszt <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicfm.com\/composers\/liszt\/history-lisztomania-phenomenon\/\"><span>caused hysteria with his performances<\/span><\/a><span> \u2013 women would fight over his gloves and locks of hair, wear his portrait on brooches, and faint in his presence \u2013 musicians have inspired admiration and devotion. Part of this comes from the \u2018halo effect\u2019 of talent, where competence, confidence and passion in a high-emotion activity, such as singing, playing the bass or even just the storytelling of music, spills over into perceived attractiveness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe emotional IQ it takes to create a beautiful album says so much. I know that\u2019s someone I want to sit and unpack life with. This is someone I want to spend my time with,\u201d says 26-year-old Sabrina, from London, whose dating history looks like a festival lineup and is currently crushing on MJ Lenderman. This is backed up by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarahlouiseryan.com\/\"><span>Sarah Louise Ryan<\/span><\/a><span>, a psychotherapist and professional matchmaker. \u201cWhen someone performs music, they are demonstrating emotion, vulnerability, confidence and creative intelligence in real time,\u201d she explains. \u201cThose are all qualities deeply associated with attraction, and this creates a feeling of connection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-tiktok\" data-id=\"7619965352230833439\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Alongside that, says Ryan, is the spatial psychology of it all: standing in a crowd and looking up at someone under a spotlight, or watching from a balcony as the room orients toward them, literally positions the performer as a figure of heightened importance, a person granted symbolic power by the architecture of the venues we queue to get inside. \u201cThey represent freedom, creativity and emotional depth as much as the individual themselves, which is why the attraction can take on an almost mythic quality,\u201d she says. \u201cThe stage creates an amplified version of the self that feels both authentic and slightly untouchable, which encourages audiences to project desire and to desire what is often so far \u2018removed\u2019 from them \u2013 fantasy and emotional meaning are often projected onto the person performing.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For someone to be a good blank canvas on which we can project our fantasies, the more mysterious and aloof they are, the better. It\u2019s why modern stan culture depends on the artist being out of reach, with that distance punctured only sporadically by small digital moments. \u00a0Even before the internet gave us the possibility of unprecedented access to celebrities, this mystique was alluring \u2013 think Bob Dylan and his aloof, poet-genius persona, or Prince, flamboyant and inscrutable at the same time. Today, it often comes in the form of a digital absence \u2013 or at least disinterest \u2013 which hits especially hard for a generation raised online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/55894\/1\/why-are-people-with-no-social-media-instagram-hot-offline-boyfriend\"><span>Having no Instagram is one kind of hot<\/span><\/a><span>; it suggests a monkish disengagement from the algorithmic circus. But having an Instagram with nothing on it is arguably hotter. It\u2019s a curated void, a nonchalance so complete it triggers curiosity. After my second <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/music\/article\/64551\/1\/mk-gee-michael-gordon-interview-autumn-2024-issue-dazed\"><span>mk.gee<\/span><\/a><span> show in London, I immediately scanned his IG, searching for clues about who he is. The attraction hinged on that irresistible ratio: minimal self-promotion against extreme talent. We now harvest attention for a living, but he seemed like a musician from an older world, someone who wanted to play rather than perform the idea of musicianhood online. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m tired of men who try,\u201d Alex, 29 and a self-proclaimed groupie, says. \u201cThere\u2019s all this weird curation nowadays of self and being, and I just feel so outside of that. With musicians, it\u2019s fun to see someone fully in their element and really uninhibited. Especially at live shows. Or in the studio, my ex just became someone else entirely in that space and I loved it.\u201d Tasha, 26, who is currently dating a musician, adds, \u201csome musicians are a brand, yes, but when I think of someone like Alex G, for example, it feels like he arrives just as the person he is with himself.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"c3GPPnVz1fw\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c3GPPnVz1fw\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Because we often don\u2019t know the musicians we admire personally, it\u2019s through their lyrics that we form our ideas about who they are. And in a time when the dating scene is worse than ever, situationships reign supreme and, particularly, men seem to have lost the art of romance, it\u2019s no wonder sensitive love songs inspire passionate or aroused feelings in fans. \u201c<\/span><em><span>I need your feet more than you do<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d is absurd, almost embarrassingly obsessive, but also deeply poetic and romantic in that way that Winter has. Then there\u2019s lyrics like \u201c<\/span><em><span>The only heaven I\u2019ll be sent to\/ Is when I\u2019m alone with you<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d (Hozier); \u201c<\/span><em><span>You showed me love \/ Glory from above<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d (Frank Ocean); \u201c<\/span><em><span>You\u2019re my end and my beginning, Even when I lose, I\u2019m winning<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d (John Legend).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cCreative expression signals emotional depth,\u201d says dating and relationship coach and TV expert <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/persialawson.com\/\"><span>Persia Lawson<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cSomeone who can channel their feelings into music and lyrics is literally demonstrating emotional range in real time \u2013 and that\u2019s incredibly magnetic.\u201d These lyrics, alongside performances and a social media presence, even a minimal one, creates an element of parasocial intimacy, Ryan says. \u201cFans feel as though they know a musician, even though the relationship is one-sided. This creates what can feel like a pseudo connection\u2026 that one-way dynamic can actually intensify desire, because the mind fills in the unknown parts of the person with imagination and idealisation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>From Lisztomania to the TikTok lust for Cameron Winter\u2019s unwashed hair, the alchemy hasn\u2019t changed all that much. Maybe the reason musicians are so hot is that they give us a place to put our longing. They offer rhythm to our (sometimes deluded) projections, a shape to our fantasies, a body to house all the feelings we don\u2019t know where else to put \u2013 especially in a dating milieu governed by ghosting. They stand under a spotlight and let us imagine, for a moment, that someone out there still believes in romance enough to sing about it, that indeed, in Winter\u2019s case, <\/span><em><span>love takes miles<\/span><\/em><span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!

In a cultural moment when men are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/beauty\/article\/70001\/1\/who-is-looksmaxxing-really-for-incel-culture-beauty-standards-men-misogyny\"><span>thinking about their appearance more than ever<\/span><\/a><span>, he arrives onstage with the vague disorientation of someone who couldn\u2019t care less if he is idolised for his looks or not (\u201cCameron looks so different when he washes his hair,\u201d reads one comment on a video of the band performing). And everyone laps it up. But Winter is only the latest example of a much older truth: musicians have always occupied a special category of attractiveness, one that relies on something more atmospheric and difficult to pin down than just looks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Since the 1840s, when Hungarian composer Franz Liszt <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicfm.com\/composers\/liszt\/history-lisztomania-phenomenon\/\"><span>caused hysteria with his performances<\/span><\/a><span> \u2013 women would fight over his gloves and locks of hair, wear his portrait on brooches, and faint in his presence \u2013 musicians have inspired admiration and devotion. Part of this comes from the \u2018halo effect\u2019 of talent, where competence, confidence and passion in a high-emotion activity, such as singing, playing the bass or even just the storytelling of music, spills over into perceived attractiveness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe emotional IQ it takes to create a beautiful album says so much. I know that\u2019s someone I want to sit and unpack life with. This is someone I want to spend my time with,\u201d says 26-year-old Sabrina, from London, whose dating history looks like a festival lineup and is currently crushing on MJ Lenderman. This is backed up by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarahlouiseryan.com\/\"><span>Sarah Louise Ryan<\/span><\/a><span>, a psychotherapist and professional matchmaker. \u201cWhen someone performs music, they are demonstrating emotion, vulnerability, confidence and creative intelligence in real time,\u201d she explains. \u201cThose are all qualities deeply associated with attraction, and this creates a feeling of connection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-tiktok\" data-id=\"7619965352230833439\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Alongside that, says Ryan, is the spatial psychology of it all: standing in a crowd and looking up at someone under a spotlight, or watching from a balcony as the room orients toward them, literally positions the performer as a figure of heightened importance, a person granted symbolic power by the architecture of the venues we queue to get inside. \u201cThey represent freedom, creativity and emotional depth as much as the individual themselves, which is why the attraction can take on an almost mythic quality,\u201d she says. \u201cThe stage creates an amplified version of the self that feels both authentic and slightly untouchable, which encourages audiences to project desire and to desire what is often so far \u2018removed\u2019 from them \u2013 fantasy and emotional meaning are often projected onto the person performing.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For someone to be a good blank canvas on which we can project our fantasies, the more mysterious and aloof they are, the better. It\u2019s why modern stan culture depends on the artist being out of reach, with that distance punctured only sporadically by small digital moments. \u00a0Even before the internet gave us the possibility of unprecedented access to celebrities, this mystique was alluring \u2013 think Bob Dylan and his aloof, poet-genius persona, or Prince, flamboyant and inscrutable at the same time. Today, it often comes in the form of a digital absence \u2013 or at least disinterest \u2013 which hits especially hard for a generation raised online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/55894\/1\/why-are-people-with-no-social-media-instagram-hot-offline-boyfriend\"><span>Having no Instagram is one kind of hot<\/span><\/a><span>; it suggests a monkish disengagement from the algorithmic circus. But having an Instagram with nothing on it is arguably hotter. It\u2019s a curated void, a nonchalance so complete it triggers curiosity. After my second <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/music\/article\/64551\/1\/mk-gee-michael-gordon-interview-autumn-2024-issue-dazed\"><span>mk.gee<\/span><\/a><span> show in London, I immediately scanned his IG, searching for clues about who he is. The attraction hinged on that irresistible ratio: minimal self-promotion against extreme talent. We now harvest attention for a living, but he seemed like a musician from an older world, someone who wanted to play rather than perform the idea of musicianhood online. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m tired of men who try,\u201d Alex, 29 and a self-proclaimed groupie, says. \u201cThere\u2019s all this weird curation nowadays of self and being, and I just feel so outside of that. With musicians, it\u2019s fun to see someone fully in their element and really uninhibited. Especially at live shows. Or in the studio, my ex just became someone else entirely in that space and I loved it.\u201d Tasha, 26, who is currently dating a musician, adds, \u201csome musicians are a brand, yes, but when I think of someone like Alex G, for example, it feels like he arrives just as the person he is with himself.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"c3GPPnVz1fw\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen frameborder height=\"422\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c3GPPnVz1fw\" webkitallowfullscreen width=\"750\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Because we often don\u2019t know the musicians we admire personally, it\u2019s through their lyrics that we form our ideas about who they are. And in a time when the dating scene is worse than ever, situationships reign supreme and, particularly, men seem to have lost the art of romance, it\u2019s no wonder sensitive love songs inspire passionate or aroused feelings in fans. \u201c<\/span><em><span>I need your feet more than you do<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d is absurd, almost embarrassingly obsessive, but also deeply poetic and romantic in that way that Winter has. Then there\u2019s lyrics like \u201c<\/span><em><span>The only heaven I\u2019ll be sent to\/ Is when I\u2019m alone with you<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d (Hozier); \u201c<\/span><em><span>You showed me love \/ Glory from above<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d (Frank Ocean); \u201c<\/span><em><span>You\u2019re my end and my beginning, Even when I lose, I\u2019m winning<\/span><\/em><span>\u201d (John Legend).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cCreative expression signals emotional depth,\u201d says dating and relationship coach and TV expert <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/persialawson.com\/\"><span>Persia Lawson<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cSomeone who can channel their feelings into music and lyrics is literally demonstrating emotional range in real time \u2013 and that\u2019s incredibly magnetic.\u201d These lyrics, alongside performances and a social media presence, even a minimal one, creates an element of parasocial intimacy, Ryan says. \u201cFans feel as though they know a musician, even though the relationship is one-sided. This creates what can feel like a pseudo connection\u2026 that one-way dynamic can actually intensify desire, because the mind fills in the unknown parts of the person with imagination and idealisation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>From Lisztomania to the TikTok lust for Cameron Winter\u2019s unwashed hair, the alchemy hasn\u2019t changed all that much. Maybe the reason musicians are so hot is that they give us a place to put our longing. They offer rhythm to our (sometimes deluded) projections, a shape to our fantasies, a body to house all the feelings we don\u2019t know where else to put \u2013 especially in a dating milieu governed by ghosting. They stand under a spotlight and let us imagine, for a moment, that someone out there still believes in romance enough to sing about it, that indeed, in Winter\u2019s case, <\/span><em><span>love takes miles<\/span><\/em><span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!
