THIS JUST IN: Indie Rock Boys Have Weight Issues Too(!)

Jezebel reports:

When discussing body dissatisfaction, women often argue that we have it much harder than men. However, in certain subcultures in which certain men reside, like indie rock, the Guardian argues, skinniness is heralded, and the overweight are mocked. According to the Guardian's Priya Elan, when Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill (at left) announced that he was anorexic, "It isn't a huge surprise…What is surprising is that he's admitted it. Maintaining a skinny frame is the elephant in the room of indie."
