Look at that effing hipster riding his fixed gear bike chillin with a chest tattoo open plaid shirt skinny jeans rolled up as he bikes into chillwaves listening to summer beach jams
never heard of this magazine but it seems to have a ‘chill business model’ Most magazines just put famous tweens and half naked sluts on their magazine covers
But this magazine just puts ‘effing hipsters’ on that shit doing ‘trendy, hipster shit’ like riding fixed gear bicycles listening to buzzbands on iPhones going to relevant music festivals riding chillwaves working as baristas at starbucks doing blow updating their myspace scene hipster profiles and other hipster ass shit
Might buy this magazine and frame it as the day that ‘hipsters’ finally got ‘mad mainstream old media coverage’
Just want to be a poet &/or writer and read about other poets and writers in a chill magazine that has high resolution photos and solid zine elements
Effing hipsters ‘when will they ever learn…’ …sigh…
R u pumped about the ‘hipsters on magazine covers’ era? When will we see ‘an alt’ on the cover of __________ (mainstream magazine)? Does this bro seem like a good writer based on the way he looks? Can u ‘judge a book’ by the author’s personal brand?
Bros are searching for a chill ass summer look since they can’t just dress slutty like girls can to ‘beat the heat.’ The need something retro, alt, mainstream, and something that inspires nostalgic images of you. It seems like the ‘vintage NBA jersey’ was ‘huge’ at Pitchfork. Not sure if that was actually true, or if bloggers just needed to create interesting photo posts that weren’t just bands ‘looking all boring, playing ditties on stage.’
I sorta want to start wearing retro NBA jerseys 2 music festivals so that I can ‘reconnect’ with my aspiring mainstream kid days, back when I thought I would morph into a 7 foot tall black man who could play in the NBA. That was back before my dream was to become a buzzband. Feel like retro NBA jerseys can ‘really say a lot about u’ if you are aware of NBA Jam/NBA on NBC retro era basketball.
The Charles Barkley Jersey means that ‘u luv blow jobs and eating food.’
I think this is Shawn Kemp [via Dream Team 2]. From what I heard, he loves unprotected sex since he has like 30 illegitimate children ‘all across the world.’
After LeBron James’ “The Decision”, it seems lie we are yearning for the simple days of Larry Johnson, back when superstars got our attention by dressing up like a Granny and throwing down sweet ass dunks.
Might put a chillwave / fuzzy buzzy song over this and turn it into a buzzband’s ‘official video’ [via nostalgic images of youth]
Dennis Rodman on the Bulls seems ‘relatively alt’, but the #91 might be a bit too ‘obvious alt.’ Would have opted for a rare Mavericks/Lakers Rodman jersey, but Spurs/Pistons seem more likely. I think Pitchfork Music Festival has tons of
I think Grant Hill might have been ‘the greatest Buzz NBA player of all time’ but never really panned out. Sorta like when a buzzband makes 1 good mp3, but then sucks, then at the tail end of their career they make a decent album and we can all ‘laugh’ about their undeserved buzz, but kinda pretend their career was more fulfilling than it actually was.
Worried Magic Johnson jerseys might ‘ruin the chill vibes’ [via HIV awareness + free condom handouts]. We all wanna ‘hook up’ but this jersey seems like a ‘public service message’ 2 bros to ‘wrap up + practice safe sex’. Are alternative bros chill bros in retro NBA jerseys, or should they just neutralize their personal brands and wear Am Appy? Are vintage NBA jerseys ‘authentic’/'alt’ or are they trying too hard to reconnect with a bro’s mainstream past? Are ‘throwback’ jerseys for black people who are into ’streetwear’, but post-ironic NBA jerseys still fit u snug since you bought it way oversized during your youth? What vintage NBA jersey do yall wear? What metaphor/analogy can u tie into ur own personal brand? Has the NBA ‘gone down the shitter’ with all of these young NBA players who misinterpreted the Michael Jordan era? [via H8 u LeBron James]
This is a video for Neon Indian’s hit 2k9 anthem “69ing, 69ing.” Seems ‘whatever.’ Just some stop motion crap, possibly made by a ‘real artist.’ Feel like I can’t even appreciate stop motion any more because I recently saw Avatar 3d/Toy Story 3d/Inception, and that shit ‘blew my mind.’ Hard 2 go back to lofi wave artsy videos after seeing mad hi-res HD 3D images + action. Honestly just gave the video a power skim, since I am mainly looking for alt titties, hardcore sex scenes and/or excessive acts of violence, which has proven to be ‘the best way to keep an internet user’s attention’. Seems like this is sorta just a mini-meme. We’re all sorta just waiting for 2k11, when Neon Indian’s next album will go ‘head to head’ with many other indie legends in the ‘indie arms race of 2k11.’ Every1 will be looking to prove their commercial power, artistic merit, and authenticity in a ‘loaded’ year.
Sad that 2k10 is over, but seems ‘refreshing’ to revisit a 2k9 meme. Is 2k10 ‘over’? Can Neon Indian ‘hang’ in 2k11? Will Neon Indian’s 2k11 album ‘take down’ Animal Collective, but not leapfrog Cut Copy? Can Washed Out hijack Panda Bear’s 1 man band brand? Can chillwave ‘make the leap’? By ‘making the leap’ will chillwave die / has chillwave died / did ‘chillwave’ ever even exist? Will Neon Indian chart in the top 10 of the billboard charts upon its debut? Will Neon Indian overcome the ’sophomore slump’ or has MGMT ’slumped so hard’ that it will be impossible for any other former buzzband to ever slump that hard? What r u looking forward 2 the most in 2k11?
Some African couple that lives in the UK are black, but they had a white baby. Think that this meme and this white kid were both created by God/the Lord Savior Jesus Christ to ‘break free’ from the negative vibes often associated with being black. This seems like the kid will have a ‘normal, white life’ and the parents don’t have to worry about the kid fitting in with the Western World.
Think they are saying this kid is not albino, but a ‘legit’ white kid:
British Nmachi Ihegboro has amazed genetics experts who say the little girl is NOT an albino.
Dad Ben, 44, a customer services adviser, admitted: “We both just sat there after the birth staring at her.”
Wonder if she cheated on him. No way this white baby came from his dark seed. Feeling skeptical of this story, but part of me ‘wants to believe.’ I want to believe that Martin Luther King Jr’s speech about ‘I have a dream that 1 day black parents will create white babies and vice versa’ finally came true. Seems like a chill ‘gift’ from God, inspiring a meme that makes people stop worrying about color/race/size/shape/ethnicity/religion/etc. First the Obama election, now this. Feel like this is God’s way of saying that eventually we will all be white, or something like that.
Blue-eyed blonde Nmachi, whose name means “Beauty of God” in the Nigerian couple’s homeland, has baffled genetics experts because neither Ben nor wife Angela have ANY mixed-race family history.
Pale genes skipping generations before cropping up again could have explained the baby’s appearance.
Ben also stressed: “My wife is true to me. Even if she hadn’t been, the baby still wouldn’t look like that.
It seems like an expert provided the most reasonable answer–the baby is a freak mutant:
The expert said some unknown mutation was the most likely explanation.
He admitted: “The rules of genetics are complex and we still don’t understand what happens in many cases.”
Feeling scared, like God is ‘playing tricks on us.’ Maybe God just wanted to create a bloggable ‘oddly enough’ meme. Feel bad for the older siblings. They are gonna be jealous of all of the attention that the baby is getting, not just for being ‘new’, but also for being ‘white’
Her husband told how their son Chisom, four, was even more confused than them by his new sister.
Ben said: “Our other daughter Dumebi is only two so she’s too young to understand.
“But our boy keeps coming to look at his sister and then sits down looking puzzled.
“We’re a black family. Suddenly he has a white sister.”
Do u think more black parents would be pissed if they had white babies, or would they be relieved that their children would have ‘easier lives’ than they did? If a white couple had a black baby, would they be furious, and ask the hospital about their ‘Returns and Exchanges Policy’? Do u think this white baby will have a chill life? What color do you hope your kid comes out? R u worried that 1 day we’ll all be the same color after we ‘mix’ too much? Does ‘race’ matter any more, or just 2 stupid ppl? One day, will we all end up being juggalos [via global recession]? Can this baby be a blipster or can it only be a traditional white alt hipstar? Do pregnant women have to follow a special diet to change your baby color?
What combo of parents makes what kind of baby? AZN + Black = Mexi White + black = Native American AZN + Albino Black = Arabian White + White = Black Black + Black = White Mexi + Black = _______ AZN + Mexi = ________ _____ + _______ = ________
I remember when the festival bro was first invented, he represented a simpler, chiller bro in an Incubus/raver kind of way [link]. It seems like the modern festival bro might be more of a bloggy bro–a hyperconnected bro with high level opinions on indie music who ventures out into the real world several times per year for relevant shows and music festivals. He ‘creates his own merch’, making it clear that he ‘gets’ the ’scene’, hopefully looking to attract the attention of an entry level blog reader lil slut who giggles at his shirt. If that plan doesn’t pan out, ‘being blogged about by a festival blogger’ seems like a ‘decent consolation prize’ [via getting to share it in your facebook feed.’
This bro seems to be ‘Crazy For You’ about Chillwave, the popular post indie genre which garnered critical acclaim in 2k9. Pitchfork Music Festival showcased chillwave artists Washed Out, Neon Indian, and Pavement. It seems like this bro was ‘repping hard’, just wanting “less chill” and more “wave.”
Not sure if his shirt might have been ‘anti-chillwave’ though. Kinda confused now. Just want to know what this bro is all about to see if we are into the same vibes/walls of sounds.
Have yall ever made ur own shirt? What type of shirt would u make? What should the official chillwave shirt say? Can ‘wave’ be a genre of music, or can it only be a genre suffix? Does Pitchfork Music Festival seem like it is filled with chill bros? Do u still ride chillwaves or what? R u worried about chillwave in 2k11?
It has been just over a year since chillwave was ‘invented’ / was ‘born’ via the indie ether. It seems like Ernest Greene is just throwing down a chill on stage, playing some hit tunes, feeling it all around. Tank top seems like a chill ass way to beat the heat. Chilling with his Macbook Pro + Midi controller, just vibing, feeling shit all the fuck around.
Seems to be ‘killing it’. Wasn’t there, but watched a youtube of it.
Do yall think this seems like a chill show? Does he need to ‘add a guitar to his live set’ like Panda Bear? How does it feel to see ‘chillwave grow up’ and fight for relevancy in front of maltstream music festival crowds? How can Washed Out take his live brand 2 the next level? Do u want 2 vibe out at a Washed Out show? Does he seem like a chill bro? Do u think indie/chillwave/conceptual artists are ‘bullshit’ because they ‘don’t play real instruments’, or does appreciating them mean that u truly ‘get’ modern sound art? Can chillwave ‘compete’ in the 2k11 indie armsrace?
