First Rule of Peacocking

The first rule of peacocking is : don't tell the audience what it already knows.

This 'rule' refers to a maxim in social science literature that a person/thing trying to show status should not be repetitive / redundant and give the audience what they already know would happen.

Vocalist Peacocking

To focus more on the appearance than the depth. Music is repetitive, lacks true feeling within the lyrics.

Their outfits are incredibly showy and especially eccentric. They throw their voice and hold notes for no reason as the crowd cheers like it's an amazing feat.

Peacocking

It's when a man gets dressed up in outrageously awesome outfits, and go out and confidently wear that shit so everyone can and will see and notice him. It's a way to attract the opposite sex
