Wish more ppl would realize that dancing is actually an art. It’s not just a drunken display of ‘expressing urself.’ I miss 2k7. Back then, it seemed like more ppl let themselves d.a.n.c.e. :-(

“People Don’t Dance No More.” -the Raptures

I came up with an original poem

“dance like no1 is watching
love like u’ve never been hurt
sing like no1 is listening
live like itz heaven on Earth”

Just want 2 dance like no1 is watching
but record it on my Macbook
then upload it to youtube
and let ppl watch it
guess i knew they were watching the whole time
even tho they weren’t rlly there

Actually just designed a tshirt which I will market to ‘Christians’ and miscellaneous ‘generic white people.’

“Blog like no1 is reading.” -Carles, 2009

srsly tho.. do yall think that ‘dancing’ will ‘come back’, or has it been dead+inauthentic since the disco implosion?

My murder would be a 2 year plan. I would become best friends with a bro, becoming ABFEAEs (AltBrosForEverAndEver). We would bond about music, clash during debates about fiscal policy/which Radiohead album is the best 1 ever, and go through the usual ups and downs of an altBro relationship. 1 Day, I would push my Soon2BeMurdered Bro ‘too far’ and get him ‘too fucked up’ on Sparks/pills/PBR/Bud Light Lime/Southern Comfort/LSD/Herbroin/Meth/etc. I would take him to a major music festival, wearing the mask of our favourite band, the MasterCrafts. I would make sure he wears an popular AA hoodie so that no1 can ‘distinguish him from the crowd.’

Would lead him in2 the center of the crowd/moshpit and ‘end his lyfe’ [via strangling+suffocation with AA white hoodie drawstring. The ppl around him would leave his dead body there to rot for the next 5 days of the music festival. Eventually the festival would end, and only his dust-covered body would remain. If the authorities could use DNA to eventually identify him, then they would contact me 2 see when was the last time I saw him. I would claim that he ‘wandered off because he took too much PCP/huffed too much computer dust cleaner. He started getting really into drugs after the new Animal Collective album leaked.’

Beware of your best altbros.

but srsly… if u were gonna kill 1 of ur friends in a modern alternative context, how would u do it?

What would yalls shirt say?

When people say ‘u look like ur in a band’, it means that you are some one who is on the cutting edge of culture from the perception of some1 who doesn’t know much about modern culture, but would like to learn more abt it from u (since u l00k pretty interesting and creative). “Looking like you’re in a band” isn’t a look for every one. The people who will admire you are usually entry-level alts or mainstreamers-who-are-infatuated-with-alternative culture (and listen to a lot of mainstream indie rock circa 2k4.5)

True alts definitely don’t want to look like they are in a band or hang out with people who look like they are in a band. SRSLY…do u want to look like the Strokes? Interpol? Kings of Leon? The Black Kids? Blink 182? Puddle of Mudd? Miscellaneous zany band? Miscellaneous British rock band? Miscellaneous mixed gender band? Miscellaneous art-rock band? Miscellaneous lo-fi conceptual band?

True Alts would rather look:

• homeless
• parentless
• tragic mctragtrag
• genderless
• fashionsenseless
• starved
• like they are in a cult
• like they are from the past/future/post-future

Girls can only look like ‘they are in a band’ when they are in a group of guys-who are dressed like they are in a band, which you can tell by looking at the photo above.
A group of girls who would theoretically be ‘dressed like they are in a band’ probably just look like a herd of girls who are eager to be in LongTermRelationships with altBros. (a.k.a. they just look like a gaggle of altSkanks). This is mainly because it’s hard to view a girl who ‘dresses trendily’ as being some1 who is genuinely creative/interesting. (unless ur Miranda July)

‘Looking like you’re in a band’ will come back and haunt you eventually. If you look like you are in a band beyond 30, your personal brand will automatically be converted into ‘trying-too-hard cool dad‘ or ‘out-of-touch-with-reality free-spirited mom.’

I love when members of bands wear the t-shirt of another band. That’s something that 6th graders see, and subconsciously post-identify with the band even more.
