The 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.

The response to Malcolm's selfie was swift. Some people reached out to educate the Kiwki, others still to chide him.

Some tweeters even decided that the situation called for a deep critique of celebrity culture.

Others still thought it called for good old bit of trolling.

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.
