@zipperbread hahah oh my god, and Iโm just thinking about all the boys in high school wearing graphic tees from kohls their moms bought them. and those osiris shoes!!!
this was not hipster music, this was every single college kid music. this was normie boys put on to impress you music. this was Party Ended Up Being A Lot Lamer Than Expected Letโs Head Out Early music.
Hipster music would be LCD Soundsystem, Animal Collective, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The xx, The Strokes, The Shins, Modest Mouse, Passion Pit, Fleet Foxes, Phoenix, Beach House, The National, TV on the Radio, Deerhunter, and some others.
@zipperbread and hearing teen boys talk about fashion at all is wild. now that Iโm thinking about it, I donโt know if Iโve seen a gen z in a band shirt and cargo shorts maybe ever.
@zipperbread hahahah that is amazing. last time I went I couldnโt even get to the black tshirt section because it was swamped with youths, and when I was looking for skinny jeans a girl pulled out a pair of WHAT I CONSIDERED baggy jeans! and they all went ewww those are so skinny
@zipperbread dude itโs crazy the access to fashion they all have. sometimes Iโll go to shows where one of the bands pulls a gen z demographic and me/friends like โwhere did you they get these clothes?? how do you look so fashionable when youโre like 16??โand we talk about how stupid we looked
@zipperbread@ClueHeywood honestly thatโs even better than you can be a one and done kind of guy! when Iโm president I will put research money to cigarettes that make you healthy, and weโll all be cool again
having 30 of them die on my watch was too much guilt (plus $140 I donโt have). somehow, the person I bought them from found my post and offered to send me all new ones, plus everything I need, for free. so now Iโm crying like a baby because so many strangers were so kind to me ๐ฅน
didnโt talk about it because people would make fun of me, but all my shrimp (besides one!) were being beautiful and lively and excited at midnight and completely dead by 8am and I cried like a baby all day long. BUT!!!
I posted online to find what it was and got a ton of lovely support. we eventually figured out it was because I used aquarium salt instead of marine salt. I was still so upset and decided I was never going to try again because with my first package getting stolen and now this-
@lipstickparty This is probably true. I saw people calling it urban outfitters music but I thought urban outfitters was more rich college kids, but I can see that being different in other locations
I like a lot of this music! I have a modest mouse tattoo! but the hipsters did think it was lame, because modest mouse was normie college bro music, or a lollapalooza type band.
wait I thought we all knew this and that was part of the fun. are there people out there who think heโs a folk hero? have I been communicating the wrong message in my killdozer shirt
@RedDragon733 tldr tons of people celebrate killdozer but he was just kinda schizophrenic and his grievances were more annoying rather than requiring him to harm his entire town as he felt he needed to do
Things were already on the decline obviously when it happened but the Scott Pilgrim movie releasing was 9/11 for alt subcultures. Genuinely overnight every alt space was infested in guys with khaki shorts and zelda shirts looking for 'their' Ramona Flowers. It was the death blow.
