I remember back in 2k7, I was passionate about very different things than I am now. Electro blogs with neon layouts. ‘Bangers.’ Electro duos. I used to be a bloghousebro. Now it seems like ‘the world has turned and left me here’ since I got a tattoo of ‘the Justice logo.’ I’m not even sure if Justice are ’still together.’ They are probably playing the ‘theme park’ and ’state fair’ circuit with bands like Jessica Simpson/Bowling for Soup/Everclear/other bands that have ‘gone out to pasture’ 2 die.
These days, I only listen to Grizzly Bears and the Animal Collecting. It’s just kinda weird how much things have changed. Considering getting ‘Veckatimest’ tattooed on the shaft of my cock. I remember when I got my Jousteeece tatty, I told my parents that it was ‘biblical.’ Can’t believe I am ‘just another bro with a cross tattoo’ even though I don’t even really ‘get’ God.
Back then, I assumed electro would ‘be forever.’ I assumed that bloghouse would eventually become ‘mainstream’ and get played on the radio, side-by-side with top40 radio. Now I feel like if I brought ‘bloghouse’ up in a conversation with a circle of entrylevelers, they would say ‘what is that?’ I feel like I am possibly a music purist for being so connected to the bloghaus era.
Are my glory days behind me?
Should I have my tattoo ‘electronically removed’?
R u ashamed of the person who u used 2 b?

looks good carles, YALL!

i think carles like recycles things that ‘entry-lvlers’ say and riffs on them a lot. but maybe this is good- a lot of people have made embarassing comments on blogs and people can look at them and say there is someone out there who is as stupid as i was/am x-years ago/now.

Don’t ya’ll realize once something becomes labeled “blog house” it instantly becomes lame? Or if anything becomes popular enough to gain a label it is lame? word. I get it. hipster culture just can’t be labeled. its way to kewl for that. i bet that guy doesn’t even like justice. i bet he doesn’t even like them enough to have a tattoo on his body. bet he is still young in his mind. bet he thinks he is an indestructable teenager or “spring chicken”. ya’ll picking up what i’m laying down? isn’t it fucking kewl to criticize/make fun of everything that is under the radar? one of my friends was talking about how lame blog house was the other day. i had to inform him that hating on blog house has already been done. was posted on a blog two weeks ago and that hating it was no longer cool. bloghouse became resurrected and finally the justice cross became sweet again for a couple of hours.
I have to stay a head of the curve. It is better than a job. I feel i need to make fun of people on blogs because i’ve already looked at internet porn 5 times today. i feel that if i look at porn again i could have a problem. i’ve read every article on pitchfork/tinymixtapes/gorillavsbear/stereogum. i even went to rolling stone.com/spin.com just to see what the above the radar scene is doing.
blog house is more important than the economy. it is my life style brand. it is more important than the war. Its more important than waking up one day and realizing i need to do something with my life instead of going to blogs to criticize tiny niche cultures that are so microscopic their influence on the rest of world is none. Its more important than the news of a clothing store selling bedding. Blog house is my life. I have three justice tattoos, fyi.

real ashamed of ‘who i used 2 b’. used 2 b real ‘fat y’all!’ and listen to ’shit’ bands like the linkin parks.
rly ‘relieved’ that i’m now more of a ‘bro’, or at least more of a ‘cultrually relevant’ 1. gonna go 2 ‘brooklyn’ this summer and see some meaningful electro like the simian mobile disco bros and some ‘experimental concept album stuff’ like fiery furnaces.
thnx 4 lettin’ me share this w/ y’all

Bloghaus is dead. We killed it. Buried. Today a plane flew over it. Last rites.
We created it
We destroyed it
No more bangers
No more Sparxxx (miss u)
No more Neon
No more party pix
No more tugs
The earth must begin anew
Maybe its time for meaningfulcore 2.0
Maybe since things go in cycles we have to start wearing flannel + listen to Kurt Brobain & The Pearl Jams
Dunno
Sooo Confused
Sooo Sad :(

in how many bloghaus years will an anco tattoo be ‘culturally relevant’ and/or ‘ironically cool’?
need to know soon… thinking of permanently altering my ‘personally brand’…
Reply
u know, everytime u name drop anco u sound like a total d-bag. also, you’re overusing scare quotes.

eagerly awaiting p4k review of justice’s (not even recorded) second album, gonna get a 3.8/10!

ur tat of The Justice Band will always have meaning 2u so i wouldn’t ‘be ashamed’ of the person you used 2b.
As a rule of thumb, i only get tats of bands with at least 2 albums/ 1 album & 1 ep.
Hope that helps,
