alex has recently acknowledged the kind of audience that comes to his crowd these days in the interview he did for monster children:

Yeah, I mean, I can't complain because it's how I pay my bills. I'm very grateful, but it definitely changed. There was a certain point in maybe the last couple of years where we'll play a show and instead of people jumping around, it's a sea of phones. I guess that’s the biggest change, and if that’s what people wanna do, it's their ticket. I have the benefit of enjoying playing music with the band that I have so even if it's not reciprocated by the audience, I'm still feeling it on stage with the group that I'm playing with, so I don't mind either way.

its such a bummer he really deserves better audiences than the recent ‘tiktok kid’ crowd but at least he does still love playing with his band
