I wish they had Macbooks when I was a tween and my parents took me on road trips with my BFF


I wish they had Macbooks when I was a tween.
I wish my parents had an aggregate income of over $250K/year.
I wish I could express myself around my parents.
I wish I had a swarm of subscribers who I could shout out.
I wish my parents could afford braces 4 me.
I wish my parents bought me an iPhone/game Gear/iPod Shuffle.
I wish I had a spacious luxury SUV with a leather interior.
I wish I had wifi all over the world/domestic United States.
I wish my tweenhood went a lot differently.

I wish they had Macbooks when I was a tween. If I could have expressed myself with modern tools of technology, I would be an entirely different person today.

The world is 1 year older. And I want to know ‘WHY?’
Why did I become alt?
Is ‘alt’ a choice, or was I born with ‘alt’ inside of me? (kinda like homosexuals/fggts/gheys).
Are these things that I did not have as a tween the reason why I needed to construct a new value system based upon strict post-consumerist ideals?
Are ‘alts’ who are rebelling against their privileged life ever going to find the authenticity that they are seeking?
Would ‘entry level alts’ and ‘Mexicalts’ exist without the concept of credit?

I want to know why.
I want to know why there weren’t Macbooks when I was a tween.
I want to know what I would have been if my tweenhood had gone differently.

    I hope they notice to put their seat belts, stop jumping around, and sit down, before their father gets into a car accident and they fly out the window and ruin their expensive leather interior car.

    Why would you want a spacious SUV? Yuck. So much gas burning. Terrible. I’ll watch the clip of the tweens, but I don’t have to to already realize it’s really going to be retarded.

    http://www.hipsterwave.com/thom-yorke-the-eraser-a-remix-a-collaboration-and-in-rainbows/

    Thom Yorke is definitely not retarded. Meow.

    @Jessica,

    yeah i totz can digg what u r saying. Thom Yorke has an invigorating personal brand that just makes u think: wow brah, that dude is authentic. But the tweens don’t have rlly have the capital 2 be authentic. they don’t evn have a production company. They just have a little mac book and some spare time to express themselves so how could the possibly cr8 an authentic personal brand that rivals thommy yorkeys?

    nvrtheless, the tweeny alts do have a fresh authenticity that thommy doesnt have. They r real. they r now. they haven’t been making the same product for the last 100 blog year.s and i think thomr could learn from that.

    @thATCHER, heh. Tweens were disgusting in that clip. You write as if you’re like their friend.

    Thom yorke has adjusted his product and sound with the times for sure.

    Thom yorke wakes up and puts his pants on every day just like the rest of us. The only difference is, once his pants are on, he makes platinum records. =’)

    alt tweenz have their parents drive them to music festivals
    (we’ll use coachella for example, since the highest concentration of alt tweenz live in small towns and suburbs surrounding, and or near the greater los angelas area. Think Seth Cohen.)

    Since the cooldads/moms have nothing else to do but wait for the one novelty act they might enjoy to come on( Willie Nelson, Bela Fleck, Maddona…)
    they sit in the beer tent and get drunk all day. When the festival ends, the Alttweenz get upset because their cooldads/moms are drunk and embarrasing them in front of the people that they one day wantto be.

    Alttween 1: “I cant wait to turn eighteen so I can move to Brookyln/L.A./Mission district and pretend to be poor”

    Alttween 2: “yeah i cant wait to tell people that I cant afford my Anthro Text because I had to pay rent, when in reality i could havedone oth if i hadnt of blown my money on that last miute trip to paris where i did coke for a week and a half”

    Alttween 1: “Paris is so cool, but its way overdone”

    Alttween 2: “yeah, maybe i’ll do coke in Berlin instead”

    People become alts for the number of reasons. First of all most are of above average intelligence and such people are always subject to the tyrany of the majority and it’s torture having to suffer the mediocre. Most have been wronged by life in some way and have become bitter about not being able to obtain a lifestyle the were raised to expect. Thus comes an inability or even desire to conform to typical norms and search for “meaning” while rejecting the superficial notion of “success.” Despite the appearance of indifference most strive for equality and are unwilling to step on the backs of others to get where they want to be in life. This becomes a constant source of disillusionment because it’s directly against the values of capitalist society.
