I know that there have been great advances in laser-removal, but really, people, irony and tattoos don't mix.

The '70s revival kids would totally kick these kids' asses

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 04:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you see the Garbage Pail kid sleeves?

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm glad I hated my childhood and found almost everything about the time I grew up to be awful so I wouldn't be tempted to relive it in an embarrassing public fashion like that.

To answer the original question: Probably half the songs on this. Which irks me.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Most of these kids look like high school girls out having a wild good time which means they probably don't remember any of that crap.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:04 (twenty-one years ago)

The girl in the second pic I'd pound till her arms fell off, the rest are geeks. Probably do "Faint supperdance" on Wednesdays.

― DarrensCoq, Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I think one of the dudes from Goldfinger is up there.

"hot topic" - le tigre
"makeout club" - unrest
"fashion cult" - swell maps

also:
there is a picture of San Francisco in there... it's the small one after the girl sitting on the girl on the toilet.

So what 'scene' circa '82 would've been exactly as embarrassing as this is now? Don't tell me electrowhatever, I refuse to believe that.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:13 (twenty-one years ago)

That's a whole lotta Isis, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Get Up Kids and The Fucking Champs fans in one place.

to answer the thread question: house of jealous lovers on auto-repeat!

i'm quite fond of those garbage pail kid tattoos! they are a hoot.

― scott seward, Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Yea, that picture snuck in there... because i love high school girls who think they're Kathleen Hannah.

PS - Hi!

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I would gently make sweet, sweet fuck to the guy in the Led Zep shirt. (I don't think I'd ever pound someone till their arms fell off, even if I had the stamina.)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you have a cell phone fetish or something?

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:16 (twenty-one years ago)

tonight i was introduced to a young man who is going to medical school to specialize in dermatology, specifically tattoo removal via laser.

HI JAYDUB!!!

they don't need to be embarrassed. they look like they're having fun. or maybe kids trying to look cool just seems cute to me now that i'm an old fogey.

― scott seward, Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm procrastinating on my final projects for school!

They're having fun but they LOOK SO GROSS.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:19 (twenty-one years ago)

The first picture makes me wanna listen to GUITAR WOLF!

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:19 (twenty-one years ago)

AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria the newest club is opening up.!!!

Really, most of them if you looked around the club hard enough. Especially at the height of New Romantic.

That cell phone guy on the left looks so familiar. Maybe he works at Amoeba. I don't know, half these kids look fine to me. I mean, they just look like normal night club kids. Oh , xpost with that other old fogey, Scott.

― Arthur (Arthur), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:21 (twenty-one years ago)

For every one of those shitty tattoos, there is a mother with a broken heart.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, the guy w/the curly hair, four-day-old beard and Member's Only jacket...the herion-thin topless guy...the guys and their 'creative' methods of masking hair loss through combing forward...the guy with the muttonchops and I LOVE MUTTONCHOPS...they all have cooties.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:25 (twenty-one years ago)

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I think they're cute. I'm glad they're having fun. (I hope they're having fun.) What are they listening to? I don't know. I'm hoping real hard it's not Dashboard Confessional.

― spittle (spittle), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:25 (twenty-one years ago)

And dude! Lou Reed t-shirts! Not acceptable! Not EVEN AS A JOKE!

This thread is going to be the ILX Secret Wars!!!

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:27 (twenty-one years ago)

the guys and their 'creative' methods of masking hair loss through combing forward

I would just like to mention that I tried this and it has pretty much failed miserably, so I've resorted to combing it straight back. Coupled with the muttonchops I have the hair of a 50 year-old greaser.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:28 (twenty-one years ago)

God, I would be such a dad if I tried to go to that club.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I llke the peace sign kid with the kerchief on. I'd hang out with him. He looks really cute in the background of the picture with the Mars Volta lookalikes. Everyone looks like they're trying to avoid him.

― Arthur (Arthur), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:33 (twenty-one years ago)

these kids look beyond ridiculous. seriously, what the fuck.

at least the last picture cheered me up a bit.

my guess would be something w/ style over substance, obviously, hmm, maybe ''bandages'' by hot hot heat... , i really don't anyone who looks like these people that i could borrow a few stereotypes from.

― reo, Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Are those wristbands used to indicate that they're too young to drink?

― may pang (maypang), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:35 (twenty-one years ago)

The wristbands explode if they cut their bangs.

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe any of those people have jobs. Rationally, I know at least some of them must, maybe at 7-11, but it still boggles the mind.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:38 (twenty-one years ago)

those kids is stoopid fuckin buttholes

i love the kids, but not those ones

they all look exactly like thousands of kids you'd see at parties in NYC two years ago only with more make-up and less fashionable hairstyles. That is what get's lost in the translation from NYC fashion to LA to the Malls.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan Selzer: yes

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess the LA style now is to cut your hair yourself. Hairdressers all over the city are feeling the pinch. PLEASE, PEOPLE, THINK OF THE HAIRDRESSERS!

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Ironman was so boring. Just look at him there. He's all like, ehhhhnghhh..

― may pang (maypang), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 05:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, they looked like that in L.A. two years ago too.

It all makes me want to move out of L.A. of course. And I think I know a few of those people....eek

i don't think ANY of those girls are 'fat', for what it's worth.

the only photo i like is the first one, cuz it reminds me of the 15-year-old glammed-up goth kids who would hang around the pit in harvard square. the kids who did up their hair with elmer's glue and kool-aid. (part-time punks! la la la la la la) (i always liked those kids)

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

what the fuck makes you think these people listen to music?

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah--some of these kids actually look like they might be having FUN or something

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 08:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Sonny A--because they're dancing to it in some of the photographs, maybe?

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 08:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess the one thing that is cool about being old and washed up in the midwest is that you never actually have see people like that when you go out.

Still, the idea that all those sexy young kids are shagging each other like mad with mod fuck explosion haircuts kinda warms my heart ina pervy oldster sort of way.

― Nihilist Pop Star (mjt), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 08:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I doubt they have any time to listen to music between pcikcing out clothes, hairdo's, etc. Honestly. WTF???

Either you've got so much money that could have the time to be a part of "a scene" and maintain this sort of act, without ever being a part of anything real -- kids with beaucoup $ and punk-garage-whatever music are at odds: how can one associate with (maybe better understand) another. Or there is no scene other than a clothing style, that is a horrible rich kids throwback to something they glean off Richard Hell.

I'm trying to refrain from explatives, but ugggghhhh. Ok, I grew up in the burbs. I'm not poor or anything. But still. I'm me. I listen to what I listen to and it in no way effects how I dress. I remember a classic moment when I was on a trip the summer after my junior year in high school. A bunch of "indie rock" types were ready to make fun of me (in an oddly ironic way) for being a geeky guy wih glasses (that weren't geeky enough to be cool to them). I was listening to a discman on a bus, and they asked what I was listening to. I said Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures. 1/3 of them didn't know what it was, 1/3 was appauled that someone who dressed conservativley or whatever was enjoying JD, and 1/3 wanted to talk to me afterward. I guess they were expecting me to be into something cheezy. I ended up becoming good friends with a few of them, and just the other night I ended up running into one of the (now I know acting( appauled folks at a show in Nashville the other night and he remembered me and it took me 10 mins. to figure out who he who he was. (Of course he was looking modern trendy rather than then trendy and I still look the same, which my mother and sister lament).

never the less-- Who f&$*ing cares what these kids are listening based on pictures. I thought there was going to be writing or links to such or something. They're a bunch of kids. They might as well be wearing some desgner's clothes and may be for all I know. But do they get the same jokes as you? Do they get the jokes the same as you? And are they listening to anything, or are they just hearing it while looking in mirrors to feel comfortable?

― Mike Salmo (salmo), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 08:51 (twenty-one years ago)

matos, you don't have to get so defensive about attractive people they ahve their own defense mechanisms!!

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 09:01 (twenty-one years ago)

That's true. It's so much easier for hot people to ignore anyone they want. When you ask them a question but you didn't know they were on their phone, and they put give you the palm or the dreadest 'one-second' finger, it hurts TWICE as much.

.
.
.

Okay, sorry, what were you saying!?

― DarrensCoq, Wednesday, 17 December 2003 09:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Why is that extra 'put' in there? And what the hell does 'dreadest' finger mean? No finger can be that hairy.

― DarrensCoq, Wednesday, 17 December 2003 09:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess I just don't understand why anybody would get so worked up over whether or not these kids were actually down with music.

I was the conservative kid with JD in my walkman, I alway found it more convienient to keep my abberations on the inside. And yeah while all the raver guys were taking tons of drugs and shagging pretty girls I knew who all the promoters were and what records were playing. 10 years later you know what I figured out, it was those lame ass empty headed scensters who were doing it right. I have the rest of my life to sniff my records, remember old gossip that nobody even cares to know about anymore, and revel in the fact that I was smarter. The one thing I will never do is get to have again is the nice stong 19 year old body I once had. I will never have a chance to sleep with those young girls again.

Don't get me wrong, it isn't like I pine for to be one of those kids. It does seem attractive to me because it is completely unattainable to me. Being in my late 20's is bette because I can do as I please with my life and I am way less neurotic, but I sure wish I had the body and the fresh face that I had in my last teens.

Yeah they are trendy and shallow, but god does it look like fun from where I am sitting.

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 09:30 (twenty-one years ago)

When you pick a big ass clump of hair out of the drain everytime you wash you hair in the shower, you are officially not a part of youth culture anymore.

― Nihilist Pop Star (mjt), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 09:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Just shave the shit and start selling drugs! Bingo, back in there!

― DarrensCoq, Wednesday, 17 December 2003 09:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks for the advice, but I am not that hell bent on maintaining my street cred with the youth market.

Hey Sonny, didn't you use to be Keiko? What's up?

Concerning JW's comment about the white belts, it would be great if there was a club where you white belts were mandatory for entrance, and the club was called TAE KWON DO.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

In a small bit of defense of these kids, this club is a Sunday night club that's 18+. So the actual reasonable people with Monday morning jobs and car insurance are less likely to show up. But all in all, yes this is the Echo in all it's glory. What'd be even better would be if someone had some pictures of these kids standing with their arms crossed, confused, when Lightning Bolt played the Echo. They were completely unsure how they should respond and afraid of messing up their haircuts. LA ROOLZ

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

It's okay, Dan, he'll stop bleeding soon.

Spencer, I didn't say it sucked. It's getting better since the renovation, but some shows bring out that terrible crowd that Club 82 seems to demand.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

That night Roddy Bottum and Javier did at the Echo was the most fun I've had at an LA nightclub in ages.

Of course, I only went twice, I'm so lame.

― Arthur (Arthur), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 19:41 (twenty-one years ago)

no, Dan, you said something about them being inferior to your idea of how people should do things, i.e. in NYC two years ago and not, like, through the L.A./malling process. god forbid a stance like that would lead anyone to believe you're anything but the One True Righetous Voice of Hip or anything like that.

hahahah jesus, matos, relax. I was talking about fashion. That is generally how fashion goes. Fashion often starts in NYC, jumps to LA, then spreads to the rest of America, in the process it becomes more acceptable and normal. I'm not the first person to say that. I didn't say anything about inferiority. Just that the haircuts are less fashionable. Which they are. I'm sorry if this insults you(or the city of LA which you are defending) so much. There are still plenty of young kids in NYC who dress like that, but many of the NY'ers who seemed to dress like that a few years ago have moved onto other things. There seems to be some kind of psychedelic space cowboy thing going on or something, I'm not sure, it's confusing.

It's like how a few years ago all the hipster kids all over the country started wearing those little pins again of all their favorite bands and now you go to Hot Topic in the mall and they're selling them as fashion accessories, but they don't say anything.

btw, yes I AM the one true righteous voice of hip!

(the question marks more signify my complete bafflement of the idea of the mechanics of fashion having any physical travel and destination moreso than the questioning the source of most fashion trends)

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 23:01 (twenty-one years ago)

It's easy to laugh in a way, but I agree with those who are saying the kids look cool and appear to be having fun. If I were younger and lived in a city with discernable nighlife, I'd be working the same look probably. The only criticism might be too many of them are doing slight variations of the same thing, but at least it looks alright for the most part.

FWIW, anyone who says that they just don't get what fashion has to do with music are clearly living on a different planet than me. I may not 'dress up' anymore, but I know where my allegiance lies.

― Sean (Sean), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 23:07 (twenty-one years ago)

if you acknowledge that fashion trends can have a source, you can acknowledge that there is a lag in when appropriation of a trend happens. I've had email correspondances with DJs in LA in the past who would say things like "we're just getting into electroclash now," and the term electroclash I think is one of the better examples of a genre that acknowledges it's fashion/music connection.

But there are countless examples of regional fashion trends. The fact that many start in NY and spread from here may have something to do with most of the media being here.

And there are plenty of trends that come from elsewhere. I went to a show in Providence a year or two ago and saw literally dozens of people, mostly 20 or so with those big plugs in there ears, and yet when I go to similar shows all over NYC, I never see those. I only see them on the occasional crusty punk, but in Providence it's a big trend amongst the hip youth. I'm wondering if kids in NYC will pick that up, as Providence has had a huge influence on music/art/culture in NYC and everywhere, thanks to Fort Thunder/Paperrad etc. And while white belts maybe timeless for some, there's also been a backlash against them here in NYC, starting like 2 years ago.

I'm more mystified by the sources of tattoo trends. Tattoing guns on your side, the stars, and the whole French Sailor nautical theme, pirates etc.

Also note one of the girls is wearing an I Love NY t-shirt...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe i give too much credit to the mechanic that fashion can quickly mutate as it "travels".

spencer, I Love NY t-shirts was a big fashion trend in the months after sept. 11th. At some point, it was cool to wear one. I suppose she may be wearing it ironically, I mean, if she meant it, she'd move there, right?

and it's a Blue Mask Lou Reed t-shirt, that's cool by me.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 23:51 (twenty-one years ago)

i'd say it's a hybridization of romulan hardcore styles with retro-80s new romantic electroclash styles. And the strokes.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 23:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow, just read what Salmo wrote and it really struck a chord. I hardly ever fancy myself up in a way that screams "I'm into _____ music." When I go out it's functional, modest (but nonetheless flattering and quite expensive) bar-star gear eg. D & G, Versace, Diesel. People don't want to believe I'm really into music because I'm not wearing aggressively quirky 'musical' clothing like band shirts and reclaimed rags. It drives me up the wall, but thankfully I'm a pretty mean/violent person once I'm on the prowl.

One thing I've noticed, eap. on the internet: indie kids have no problem throwing around fat jokes when it comes to celebs/people they're statistically confident it's OK to hate, but get very hey-be-nice about it all when crap gets flung at big girls that dress like them/run in the same circles. Not saying Boyer is doing this, it just came to mind. Big girls are a riot in the sack anyways if they're scrubbed down and giddy enough. /Redman [off]

The whole room reeked of pretension. Almost more so than those typical "Hollywood" clubs like White Lotus, et. al.

ILM can really get into hater mode sometimes and that is kinda sad, although I love to bag on someone as much as the next guy doesn't it kinda suck to pick on teenagers for dressing "weird".

I mean when I was in high school I got my ass chased around town by hicks trying to kick my ass cause I looked weird. I would always find the other music geeks like me to be a refuge, kinda lame to hear them all bagging on kids for looking a little excessive.

All the tattoos are a little excessive, but hell if they can go through life with that committment more power too them. I have a few, but placed them a little more strategically for job reasons.

NO HATERS

― hector (hector), Thursday, 18 December 2003 03:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I dunno. As someone whose family was blue-collar bohemian in the '80s I grew up pretty aware of what it's like to be really unstylish and brok e-- no British Knights, strictly Patrick Ewing hi-tops and glued-together Chucks. As a result, I've sort of developed a loathing for middle-class/suburban kids who think it's cute to affect working-class styles in something that isn't so much "irony" as it is condescension -- slumming without even stepping foot in a slum. I'm hesitant to conflate what these kids are doing with that sort of bullshit, and I figure I'd still hate 'em if they dressed in Versace or indie fashion or hip-hop clothes or Rob Van Dam airbrushed leotards
because they way they mug for the camera reeks (to me) of Abercrombie smarm. (Except the couple in the third pic down, and the dude in the "El Guapo" hat because there's a slim chance he follows lucha libre and is a fan of Shocker.) There's an oddly hateful leer to a lot of their affected-cool-dude poses that gives me pod-people vibes. And when the first and only thing I get from pictures of attractive women touching each others' breasts is pod-people vibes, that's kinda fucked up. (Maybe on my part.)

Actually, part of the problem is that any commitment to the weird evidenced in the photographs is pretty half-hearted. For example: quite a lot of folks are flirting with an androgynous style, sure, but one that's firmly (not strictly, but firmly) rooted in the past. Not a hidden, secret, repressed past, either, but a past that gets joked about seemingly every night on VH1. (Or a version of that past, anyway.)

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 05:39 (twenty-one years ago)

of course it's context as well...SOME of these kids aren't necessarily dressing that way because they're weird or different, but on the contrary, to fit in, because what may have been a sign of the outsider at some point in time, is no longer. There are places where you HAVE to dress like that to be popular, likewise there are place where if you dress like that you asking for a beatdown.

In any case, I think Pat Benatar's "You Better Run" video sparked my first sexual thoughts, so nobody's happier that striped off the shoulder shirts and such came back...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 18 December 2003 05:45 (twenty-one years ago)

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 18 December 2003 05:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I get the impression that it'd be quite easy to have a pleasant conversation with most of those kids really (although if I was actually in a club with a bunch of people like that I'd probably snarl in the corner all night). Making questionable choices about lopsided mullets and copping poses that make you look like an arrogant twat doesn't necessarily mean you're a full-on sneery condescending bastudd (or whatever the dreaded hipster embodies these days). I say this because I have silly lopsided hair and tend to look a bit arrogant in nightclubs and I'm SURE there's no way I'm a hipster asshole.

I feel a tiny bit of conflicted kinship for that one Interpolly kid with the collapsed haircut.

― Ferrrrrrg (Ferg), Thursday, 18 December 2003 05:50 (twenty-one years ago)

most people everywhere look like jackasses, though. why single this group of people out?

I agree with you mostly, but the answer to your question, I think, is that these people seem to put so much effort into the way they look, and still look like jackasses. If they put as much effort into learning a marketable skill as they do into having stupid lopsided hair, no one would ever make fun of them again. See, it's kind of a Darwinian justice.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 05:53 (twenty-one years ago)

how do we know they DON'T have marketable skills? you could say the same thing for most of the FAP pictures that get put up on ILE, right, and most of us post from work! plus, the fact that they've gotten a bunch of people they don't know to discuss some pictures of them seems pretty marketable to me!

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 18 December 2003 05:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Point taken. But I wouldn't hire them.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 05:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Excessive vanity is a (potentially) fun hobby which in no way impedes having any marketable skills (why anybody would want to spend their time pursuing 'marketable skills' is another issue entirely)

― Ferrrrrrg (Ferg), Thursday, 18 December 2003 05:59 (twenty-one years ago)

It's just fun to mock hipster/pseudo-hipster/whatever kids. It really is an addicting pastime. Plus, those kids are such obvious slaves to fashion that it's funny. Though I bet those kids think they're being "different" or whatever. I personally resent them because they were probably rather popular or well-liked in high school and have convinced themselves that they were outcasts, and if they're in a band they'll write about it and get lots of tail for it, leaving genuine dorkasses like myself with nuttin'. I still have some residual high school issues, sorry, I'm only 21.

What's funny is how everyone's either "ooh I hate them cuz THEY'RE young, pretty, and having a good time" or "ooh leave alone you jerk THEY'RE just young, pretty, and having a good time." So noone on this board is young, pretty, and has a good time? Or does admitting this render your opinion unreliable. Is there some ILM "sideliner hunchback authenticity" quotient I'm not aware of?

― DarrensCoq (DarrenK), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean I'm not the hottest unit on the block and I only party one night a week, but it's not that hard to catch these kids on their/your own turf and talk shit right to their face. No need to get all third-person about it.

― DarrensCoq (DarrenK), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:25 (twenty-one years ago)

You obviously do not understand the innate appeal of ILM.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:26 (twenty-one years ago)

There's only one person of that lot that annoys me on sight, and it's this guy

haha

He tells everyone he's "bisexual," but he's not. He's just an aimless philanderer.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Hehe he's the one I thought was alright, what's wrong with him? Aside from the collapsed spidery tuft of hair. But these things happen after three hours in a club.

― Ferrrrrrg (Ferg), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:27 (twenty-one years ago)

He looks like he can't handle his coke.

― may pang (maypang), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean c'mon, he's smartly dressed and unassuming looking. If he combed his hair a bit he'd be fit to walk into a job interview and be MARKETABLE

― Ferrrrrrg (Ferg), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess he does already have the tie, but I bet his attitude sucks shit.

― may pang (maypang), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought everybody in LA could handle their coke. Like, isn't it the city motto or something?

― Jacob (Jacob), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:30 (twenty-one years ago)

And truth be told, I act the fool in da club with a VENGEANCE sometimes, and you'd probably be more comfortable hanging out with TEN of these club82 kids than my psycho ass.

One note though: Revival/indie kids are well capable of getting down, but only in a very clipped, economical way, and they hate getting jostled or grabbed. When I give it my all my body's an elastic and I'll be running around giving my boys hard squeezes on the shoulder, but that's way too 'street' (i guess) for indie kids and they make a face like you just shoved a sewer rat up their ass.

― DarrensCoq (DarrenK), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't remember the entire city motto, but I think it includes the word "squirrely" somewhere.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Is there some ILM "sideliner hunchback authenticity" quotient I'm not aware of?

See photos of ilxors for details.

Indie kids in don't like to dance shockah.

― Jacob (Jacob), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Make me feel guiltier than I already do, why dontcha??!

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:33 (twenty-one years ago)

No, no, they can dance, some even very ably, but there's a line of exuberance they wont cross, which annoys me, because I expect my entire crew to give it all they've got.

― DarrensCoq (DarrenK), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Getting a laugh at the expense of people trying to be cool is probably as old as the concept of cool - it's another way of making yourself cool. Being above it all.

ILM hataz (incl. me) = the people who stand near the sides of shows nodding along with the music looking disdainfully at people rocking out?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Depends on the show. But that brings us right back to the original question, doesn't it?

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:35 (twenty-one years ago)

these things happen after three hours in a club.

Dude, it's styled that way.

He looks like a right pretentious git. Look at the way he's clawing that steel grating. Such a fucking poser! (of course, I could be wrong - it could just be that photo)

I guess I'm a bit biased because I met someone just like that in a club the other night and I concluded our conversation after he said to me "You can be as sardonic as you like, but I know much more about music that you." Wanker.

― Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:36 (twenty-one years ago)

That line works great with chicks, btw.

But that's the Pic of the Week!

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:42 (twenty-one years ago)

That makes it worse!

― Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah the limp hand grasping the grate looks really stupid and affected. But he just looks like a nervous kid with nice clothes and a collapsed haircut to me really.

If that was my hair (which is uh, less than a million miles away from that, and probably close enough that most people would think I'm an asshole for claiming I have a different haircut at all, mutter) I'd consider it to have collapsed rather drastically. If it is styled that way then yeah it's horrendous and that Interpol bass player has a lot to answer for.

― may pang (maypang), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:44 (twenty-one years ago)

let's speculate.

― may pang (maypang), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe they're actual lesbians!

― man, Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I also keep referring to them as 'kids' when I am 20 years old

― Ferrrrrrg (Ferg), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:45 (twenty-one years ago)

That makes it worse!

I know. Little ironic jab there. See, I won't wear the t-shirt, but I'll be damned if they take the rhetorical device away from me.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Ferrrg, maybe that's the barometer for me - exuberance. He's unassuming and nervous looking yes, but he also looks totally content with being listless, like he's going to explain to me (in a Marxist dialectic) how his body "produces exactly enough energy to move around and nod but not enough to dance and talk". Others may find this kind of slightness in a man endearing, but I don't like that shit at all.

― DarrensCoq (DarrenK), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:46 (twenty-one years ago)

YAY DARREN! EXACTLY!

― Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:49 (twenty-one years ago)

B-but what if he affects the contentment because he's self-conscious and a shit dancer? I'm determined to be all AW THE POOR LOVE on this guy. I bet he'd laugh at me and say 'I know more about music than you' if I ever met him.

― Ferrrrrrg (Ferg), Thursday, 18 December 2003 06:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Try offering him oral sex and see what he says.

― Nihilist Pop Star (mjt), Thursday, 18 December 2003 07:42 (twenty-one years ago)

General topical gripe: is anyone noticing a bit of role-reversal when it comes to the connection btwn fashion and music? With increasing frequency lately I've been running into very regular people dressed in nondescript sportswear/businesswear who have excellent, esoteric tastes in music/media, and running into very chic boho girls that look like thoroughbred indie kids telling me, "Oh, I'm not actually that much of a music nut. I like R & B stuff, as well as big, abusive Mediterranean men, not snide little fuckers named Darren." The major lift, eh?

― DarrensCoq (DarrenK), Thursday, 18 December 2003 07:43 (twenty-one years ago)

that is probably because the people who look normal have the disposable time and income to pursure weird music.

― Nihilist Pop Star (mjt), Thursday, 18 December 2003 07:46 (twenty-one years ago)

and if I had ot mentioned it before, the first roxy music album is wonderfulriffic.

― Nihilist Pop Star (mjt), Thursday, 18 December 2003 07:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Very true on both counts.

I understand why some people might think the look these kids are working might be a bit silly, but the amount of hate, and the justification put forth for it, is leaving a distinctly bad taste in my mouth.

On the contrary, the talk about "that HAWT Girl and her nipples in photo #2" is what nauseates me. OK, the shit about fat girls sucks is wrong, too.

In response to my question about silly-looking scenes, I was hoping someone by now would've said American hardcore.

they look like the kind of people i dance with at the clubs & parties that i duck out of early to avoid the drugs and drama. you know, you can have the fun and be a geek simultaneously. the sex is a whole another story. if you like the sex enough to get involved with the ensuing drama, it's not that hard to get laid, but be prepared for dealing with personalities you don't get along with. but damn, sex is just sex people. so the chick in pic 2 is hot. the truth is, she's probably much more talented at sreaming your fucking ear off and getting you into fights with perturbed ex-boyfriends than she is in the sack.

I feel like this alot of times when I go out. I went to this warehouse party (that was ironically enough dj'd by one of the bang djs) the other weekend dressed up in clothes I would wear to work.. It was a spur of the moment thing, but I felt like I had to explain myself or something. Like - "I uh.. left my uniform at home.." Or when you pass some hip boy/girl on your way back from work and you think inside 'HEY. DONT LET THE BANANA REPUBLIC FOOL YOU. I TOO, AM COOL.'

but maybe its just me...

I disagree. The point is not whether you are cool or not. The point is that you are letting people know about you. If you don't say anything, then your appearance is speaking for you completely. If your appearance is a goatee, plaid shirt and cargo pants, then the hot girls with the miniskirts, studded bracelets and mascara aren't going to be into you. At all. You wanna be on the team, then you've got to commit to the uniform. Always.

But he's doing something by playing records. It shows talent and creativity. That is more impressive than one's clothing.

Again, he's not a DJ if he's sitting on the toilet wearing only flipflops. Although, he is Gallagher then.
