The moshing was mild, but the head-banging was euphoric.Rocky Horror Picture Show The Time Warp (Movie Version) Lyrics The room cracked open at the opening thrash of Deftones’ recent track “Genesis,” which sent everyone on the balcony scurrying to the railing. ![]() The only common factor was anything-goes. In a sea of Evan Mock and Demna lookalikes, there was also a magnetic duo sporting perfect shag haircuts, retro jackets, and flared jeans. People were dressed like they’d just emerged from 1977 or 1997 or 2007, channeling an improbable mix of ’90s mall rats, Y2K baddies, late-stage Ozzfest attendees, Laurel Canyon groupies, indie-sleaze club kids, dedicated Pitchfork readers, and Sailor Moon cosplayers. But the vibes here were all over the place. ![]() Historically, music fans and concertgoers-especially at nu-metal shows-would have been able to identify each other by a shared uniform. Also present: the young culture writer Rayne Fisher-Quann, who once inadvertently became the Zoomer face of a Gen X-versus-Gen Z Deftones meme.

The concert was in anticipation of the first drop of a themed clothing collaboration between the band Heaven, the Marc Jacobs sub-brand and the 2010s-era streetwear label Stray Rats that went on sale Friday. The main attraction was a potent symbol of Heaven’s mission towards intergenerational nostalgia: a performance by the Sacramento alt-metal band beloved by cuspy Gen Xers and elder millennials and recently embraced by Zoomers, who now make TikToks showcasing their own visual transformations before (bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, normal) and after (disaffected, a little demonic, slightly goth) they started listening to Deftones. Inside, Hunter’s camera flashes were far from the only ones lighting up the venue more beamed out from disposable Kodaks, mid-aughts digital point-and-shoots, vintage camcorders, and at least one actual flip phone. This event was, after all, an intentional time-warp. When I walked into the Music Hall of Williamsburg on Thursday evening for a “secret” Deftones concert hosted by Heaven by Marc Jacobs, the first person I made eye contact with was the indie-sleaze-era party photographer Mark Hunter, aka the Cobrasnake.
