[@radhika5802]

Is it possible that instead arrogance, Alex wears his shades out of vulnerability? Whenever he sings songs which are a tad bit more heartfelt, he seems to reveal a lil bit more about himself, the vulnerable side. Maybe him wearing those shades is his way of shunning himself from the limelight.

[@MURMUR333333]

radhika doraisingam He wears them because the theme of suck it and see and AM albums is influenced by the 50s/60s rockabilly era which is what they used to do, and all sorts of crazy stuff like his hairstyle and everyone acting like they own the place.

or maybe it's just arrogance jaja
