@elite_gz I think there’s definitely loads of young DIY creation happening, can certainly say that’s true of the U.K. But that wouldn’t be written off as being made by “hipsters” I don’t think and maybe doesnt cut through in a mainstream sense as much, cause of way it’s distributed tho too

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

the sadness of this is that Scholes was one of the few players there are that can lay claim to having played the game like an artist. But he cannot see beauty, does not invite it into his life, will banish it if it appears. If anything, the beauty he is capable of is a burden.

Paul Scholes NEVER listens to music! 😳🎶

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@pteridoid I think that’s always existed though, hasn’t it? I think I’m basically saying that “the hipster” produced a lot of art/music alongside consumed, even if naive. A lot of it was very DIY in spirit.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

re “the hipster”, in retrospect I feel defensive of the 2006-9 iteration in that it was, in my experience, a large amount of people making art, good and bad. Everyone playing in lots of bands, DJing, putting on shows etc. I think today’s version is more based around consumption.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@matdryhurst Yeah, the word “creative” is a dirty one now but at that time basically everyone I knew genuinely was in that they produced and released art all the time. They weren’t making decks.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@meatanchips Yeah maybe SXSW too. I got a grant to go to Texas to go and give out my DIY magazine and was genuinely stunned by how branded it was at the time. Wouldn’t be now I guess.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@matdryhurst Yeah I talk about this a lot. It was just easy for us to rent a club for £50 that came with a sound engineer and invite everyone we knew. That option was very open to us.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@matdryhurst yeah that’s exactly it. When I was 18 we went on tour in France on public transport because we couldn’t do it any other way. We just constantly made things, released music, toured all the time. Whereas to me the “hipster” now is posting fit pics that cost £1000s

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

Ppl didn’t have money to buy stuff really so clothes were generally cheap and stupid (fine), definitely pretentious (so what), cut each other’s hair (looked shit) but felt carefree and genuinely creative, rather than like….buying stuff. Anyway, that was my version of the era.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

way some people on here go on, you’d think they’d done a PhD on the Atalanta midfielder “Ederson”.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@LiamPaulCanning my brother in law is Italian, a big Atalanta fan and says he’s excellent. Personally have never seen him play.

@rianphin 2018 but I thought Eighth Grade was a really good film about being a struggling teenage YouTuber.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@htomufc was at Old Trafford for the game against Leeds and he was so good, unbelievable target man. Always thought he was gonna be a smart free signing for any team that got him.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

congratulations on 100yrs old and everything, but I stand by this

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

Attenborough has no respect for crabs. Always gives them ridiculous music. They are jesters to him

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@sullyn7 and re other examples they’ve got away with this season, I don’t think the one on Bayandir at United was a foul either but it was given.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

Arsenal have won countless games all season doing exactly that. Awful decision.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@sullyn7 here’s Gabriel in the exact same sequence crouched on the floor just to pull the attacker’s shirt, the one going for the ball. Why isn’t that a pen? It’s a team that has exclusively relied on “melees in the box” and think they’ve got away with one there.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@sullyn7 he should have caught the ball, got both hands to it. He wasn’t pushed out of the way of it, his arms weren’t impaired. Don’t really care who wins the league but think that was a very bad decision.

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

@sullyn7 you don’t think it’s a clear tactic of Arsenal’s to grapple in the box?

[Thomas Gorton @AngstromHoot]

Raya gets to that and just mishandles it, arm or no arm.
