If they move away from the chopped electro mindfuck that was their bread and butter before D.A.N.C.E. they'll end up with some MSTRKRFT/Nore collab that sounds like a Scion commercial waiting to happen. This indie shit is played the fuck out. Jump ship, get MNML, get blunted and go dubstep if you have to...just bring your over-privileged ass to the party and for God's sake stop dressing yourselves like an 80s babysitter. If you missed out on Berliniamsburg back in the day, sorry - but please don't go headlong into a trend (the assymetrical 80s style) that was played out 4 years ago. <br/><br/>Everyone is getting on the Paris Terror Club, Starter jackets and dunks shit...Chi is starting to see black folk dress like a mix between the Fresh Prince and Big Daddy Kane...find something in the middle and get off the 80s dick. You look like you're playing dress up with your older sibs clothes (not to mention their trends) and it has to stop. Oh and Justice are the new Chemical Brothers…or the Crystal Method…just wait.

You fucking twit. The indie dance scene is like the kids table of dance culture and it barely even scratches the surface of modern djing...and one more mention of "alt" whatever or your "personal brand" (complete with text message abbreviations and "kute" spelling) and I swear to God I'm going to hunt you like the faggy neon alt-animal you are.
