The tyranny of pants. Set me free, music!

Isnt this just because pants dont leave a lot of traces after tens of thousands of years, while a bone flute is much more likely to do so?

That and that people used to wear other sorts of garments that weren't such a pain to make.

Loincloth people unite!

Music is definitely cooler than wearing pants.

Wearing pants is like the opposite of music, in terms of cool at least.

Pants are a barbarian invention anyway!

You don't need pants if your tools have straps

Dammit, I wanted to actually hear it!

I see it as the golden age where you can play a flute pantsless

Not in my town. There's only a few things you're allowed to play in the nude where I live; saxophone, xylophone, sousaphone, basically only if it ends in phone.

Just say it's a flutaphone.

Wearing pants will not get you laid, having a sick flute will...
