A Brooklyn Culture Mafia

[sus]

You know, I stopped going out to parties a while ago I barely leave my flat these days

 

[sus]

Shaved heads and androgyny in general were def in for a while here but I think the pendulum has swung and femininity is coming back

 

[shakahislop]

everyone round here looks computer generated

 

[yyaldrin]

what does that mean

 

[yyaldrin]

i don't go to parties that often anymore either but i love going outside and just wander around see what is new and how people are looking and behaving it is a free theatre

 

[dilbert1]

I wish I could observe broad uniform social trends like that, all I see is a messy mirroring of the internet. If the shaved head thing is real you’re dealing with a committed vanguard

Maybe there's been an outbreak of lice in Brooklyn.

 

[0bleak]

shaved heads are hot
i should start carrying clippers around.

 

[shakahislop]

what does that mean

its hard to describe. to me there's clearly a new way of dressing among the rich young arty people in nyc that's different to what it was a few years ago and that i haven't seen before. its very clean and neat but still distinct. and expensive. nicely cut. and the clothes look new. no-one is pretending to be poor or marginal. its very punkless. in fact the vibe i get from it is 'normal but we are definitely still better than you'. no grit or grime

You should give it an embarrassing name that punctures their aura, like 'Modular Normie'.

its weird version, i don't hate these people, they're actually pretty nice and they are basically doing what i would've done if money were no object. chatting about ideas and trying to be writers. it's hard to have the same level of resentment in america for whatever reason. i guess it's less deeply engrained.

 

[version]

I got the impression you didn't like them.

yeah i can see why

it's hard to work through these resentments. i met a rich arty english guy last night (because my drunk mate had decided to blearily start talking to everyone that walked past whether they liked it or not) and all of that resentment really welled up, i was surprised by how strong it was. i do think that's justified to some extent. it doesn't come from nowhere. but i'd rather not have these kind of emotional affective reactions to individual people.

 

[shakahislop]

alternatively maybe i should of smashed his fucking face in

 

[other_life]

if i had my wat they all would be sshhOwn more considerate and healthy ways in which to live, future-proofed against the declassing of the petit bourgeoisies

 

[other_life]

if it were only possible

 

[kid charlemagne]

sus should i move to bushwick after i graduate in a few months
