Raised In That The Freaks Come Out At Night Era
The night shift's anthem.
"The Freaks Come Out At Night" is the night shift's anthem: the club-goers, the night owls, the fashion-forward, the ones who come alive when the sun goes down. Daytime was the costume — nighttime was the real thing.
The ones who wear it were raised where the real party started at midnight. Bank teller by day, legend by night — the era understood that some people only get to be themselves after dark.
It matters because the night has always been freedom's headquarters. This statement is a salute to everybody who ever waited all day for ten o'clock — and finally got to be who they are.
For the night owls — the ones the daylight never quite understood.
Wear it after dark, obviously. The freaks know what time it is.
