Pizza doesn't really seem like a signifier of "post-Y2K punk cool, childhood lolstalgia, and "so random" larfs." It is a signifier of something, and there is nostalgia involved but I don't think it's supposed to be funny or punk. Maybe "American junk culture at its most awesome"? Like nostalgia for when America was powerful enough that even its cheapest bastardization of European culture could somehow improve on it.

Pizza is funny and punk so people use it to be funny and punk. This is kind of like yelling at clowns for using cream pies.

Model Kendall Jenner’s new “Pizza Boys” project, which includes a radio show, Instagram account and merchandise, is a ripoff that is creating headaches for a Los Angeles-based “street artist” who has been using a similar moniker since 2013, according to a new Manhattan federal lawsuit.

Robert Karageuzian, the founder of the LA-based art collective “Pizzaboyzzz,” says Jenner and DJ Daniel Chetrit infringed on his trademark when they launched their “Pizza Boys” online radio program in March, which comes with a similarly named Instagram account.

Cerebral Ballzy are known for their love of 1980s punk, along with a keen interest in drinking, girls, pizza and skateboarding.[1] The band has received praise for their debut single Insufficient Fare and their energetic live performances. According to the lead singer, Honor Titus, the name Cerebral Ballzy came from a friend who dropped a slice of pizza on a train track and picked it up. Honor said “That was ballsy” and his friend replied “Cerebral Ballsy!”, a play on the congenital disorder cerebral palsy.[9][10]

With tracks like “Insufficient Fare” and “Drug Myself Dumb,” not to mention Titus’ penchant for vomiting onstage (or playing sets naked), their act was neither serious nor smart, a lowbrow code they wholly embrace. “When we started this band, we weren’t concerned with the tunes we were writing,” Titus says. “It was the opposite of strategic—it literally just happened. We purposely avoided political messages. I wanted it to be about pizza and puke, and it’s done wonders.”

In an age of Occupy movements, prolonged recessions, and an enduringly frustrating political landscape, Ballzy found genuine success in the relatable simplicity of youth. Who hasn’t gotten drunk and vomited? Who doesn’t love pizza?

ghood ghravie (unregistered), Friday, 23 November 2018 03:50 (seven years ago)

Who hasn’t gotten drunk and vomited? I like pizza. Do you like pizza, Senator?
