Twitterer007 Archivescomedian James Malcolm was hit with a particularly bad case of FOMO while waiting for a flight at Wellington airport, recently.
But it was soon to be replaced with mass public shaming, due to his lack of ~serious music~ knowledge.
SEE ALSO: Your selfies might be leaving you vulnerable to hackersThe 21-year-old noticed that a lot of people around him were taking selfies with a long-haired man sitting at the back. He had no idea the suited gentleman was Australian musician, author, screenwriter and all around living legend, Nick Cave.
He reached out to Twitter for help identifying the mystery man, but initially didn't get much of a response.

"I only had like two replies on that photo -- both jokes," Malcolm explained to Mashableover Messenger.
Undeterred, the he decided to just get a selfie with the "stranger." According to Malcolm, Cave seemed happy to be snapped.
"He was smiling and chatting to people a little bit -- he was bloody loving it IMO," Malcolm said.

So has Malcolm had the chance to listen to a bit of Cave's music since? "No I haven't! I know that's bad -- I probably should," he said.
"I'm fairly certain it won't be my cup of tea though ... I love Miley Cyrus, Melanie Martinez and just about anything Top 40s. I'm basic AF."
Don't change, Malcolm.
