Actually I'm missing something. This was my 7th burning man. I wear shorts and a t-shirt, as do most all my camp mates. And as do hundreds of our friends up there. We fix bicycles all week, and actually listened to the greatest hits of the 70s, except when the guys across the street were playing old black sabbath really loud, and then that was the soundtrack.
Anyone, including you, who try to describe it with such a broad brush end up only describing a small slice of it. It is a little bit of what everyone tells you it is...really, only a little bit.
There is no "pretty established aesthetic" that I can find, and I'm very active and invloved on and off the playa. BTW - some people base their idea of there being an established burning man style on the pictures they see of the event. Trouble is, all us many many thousands not dressed up (and we are the vast majority) don't get our picture taken, since we don't attract much attention.
