Bad Boy Chiller Crew

he said he saw you buying Polish lagers the other day

I was buying Brewdog pale ales I'll have you know. As befits a man of my social position in the hipster hierarchy.

 

[DannyL]

Absolutely detest this lot

You don't need to have been assaulted by them to find them repulsive. On aesthetic grounds alone, they're committing the equivalent of GBH if not an actual war crime. Me and Luka have discussed them with appalled fascination several times.

 

[DannyL]

Just saw Luka's post. Yeah, it's kinda like the inverse of being a white bloke fascinated by grime or drill.

 

[luka]

It's a whole genre born out of '90s Task Force records, with an added Men Behaving Badly aspect, grotty flat shares, ashing spliffs in Chinese takeaway containers

 

[DannyL]

The whitest music. It's whiter music than indie if you think about it.

 

[shiels]

Was watching some Irish hip hop vids recently and there’s the same focus on the grotty. Buckfast and rizzla and all that

another interesting thing about them, and maybe rudewhys bottling attests to this, is that they are the UKs last genre loyalists.

 

[shiels]

A deliberately grim hedonism, lots of chat about ketamine

weed addiction and grottiness often go hand in hand.

A deliberately grim hedonism, lots of chat about ketamine

yeah, it's a whole subculture i don't encounter in the wild very often. two north london young graffiti writers asked me for a poem last year whlie they were on the back end of an acid and lager binge, that's the closest i've come to it really

 

[version]

Dubstep was like this too.

 

[luka]

Dubstep was like this too.

another Bristol connection. lot to answer for that town.

 

[shiels]

There’s a lot of crustie influence in there, punk in there, Real Hip Hop appreciation

 

[shiels]

grotty macho hedonism is a core element, what holds all this comedy rap together

 

[IdleRich]

i am a fey romantic poet and synthesiser nerd, dunno where you're getting all this

I could imagine you coming to blows with, say, Alex... in fact that would be quite a fight as both of are seemingly fey but in fact are actually kinda deceptively larger than you might appear (are you taller than me? Probably). Also I think that both of you have the potential to snap and just fucking lose it if one were to somehow annoy the other.

 

[shiels]

Dubstep was like this too.

All that stuff about bongs and punching grannies

 

[luka]

in a way high focus is the kind of cottage industry it would be worth emulating. that total insulation from fashion, from critique, from the outside world in general. completely self-contained and immune to anything anyone can throw at them. it caters for a very real sector of the British public

 

[luka]

grotty macho hedonism is a core element, what holds all this comedy rap together

a philosophical and ethical resistance to glamour. a british interpretation of keeping it real.

 

[shiels]

You have the potential to snap and just fucking lose it if one were to somehow annoy the other.

This is what I know. Don’t ask me how I’m not sure
