I was looking a a fotoweblog, and I noticed a man who looked like he was from the future. He was wearing a bear shirt, which represent the post-electro/indie world, where we no longer listen 2 bands. Instead, we will all have favourite animals, and listen to zany songs which are constructed by samples of animal noises. (Noah Lennox, a.k.a. Panda Bear, has been successful because he is a metaphorical land bridge between the present and the future of music.) In 2k9, our ‘clubs’ will be replaced with microZoos.
But I think these bangs r kute. Whenever I see a girl with bangs that are ‘a lil bit sloppy and unkempt’, it makes me think that they have character because they aren’t interested in narcissistic stuff. They just love being free spirited, and into things that were kool 2 years ago. Even though they couldn’t afford a haircut session [via a hair design studio], they are still able to achieve an aesthetic which might make them even more authentic than a ‘real hairstyle.’ It kinda reminds me of girls who are ‘poor but semi-pretty’ and just trying to make their way in a consumeristic alternative society. Kinda weird how lower-middle-classers, middle-classers, and upper-middle-classers can all ‘fit in’ in their own unique way in alternative society.
Wish my parents made a lil bit more so that I could buy a few more personal branding tools.

Not an alt. He’s a guy who plays guitar in an advanced metal band…one of the ones that uses a lot of keyboard and sampling.
The bear shirt is just a sign that he has more serious things to think about than style.

Since when are these ‘female’ bangs? Anyone remember the 70’s? Hmm or maybe several other periods of history where men have had longer hair but not wanted it in their faces? Seriously…. this is such a non story.

those are also just 60’s style man bangs if you look at photos of the grateful dead in the 60’s I think bob weir had bangs like that. I like it. retro gender bendy.
makes long hair shocking again
