People who wear stuff “ironically” are usually just wearing the thing and they don’t know it. (Obviously, Vetements does ironic well; I mean ppl in cowboy hats or whatever.)
I was really amazed by how difficult The Atrocity Exhibition is because, no offense to him, D*nny Br*wn names an album after it, but it’s like The Tunnel or some shit. (At least early on.)
Started A Confederacy of Dunces, and it’s sooooooo funny/good, but I haven’t heard anyone mention that it’s got a very postmodern “I hate academics” bent. Reminds me of 2666.
