Yall. Started 2 watch South Park. Need 2 catch up on a lot of episodes.
Helps me 2 formulate my opinion on modern issues and a lot of pop cultural issues.
Not sure who I should like the most/find the funniest. Feel 'jealous' of South Park for being 'so mainstream' but also 'being cutting edge.' Not sure if I should 'respect it', 'go out of my way 2 h8 it', or 'pretend I don't watch it.'
Do yall think that South Park is more authentic than Family Guy, or The Simpsons, or are they the kind of people who just 'make fun of shit' but 'don't make the world better'?
Sometimes I feel like South Park is 'funnie' and that I am the only bro who 'gets it' like it is supposed 2 be 'gotten.' But then I get sad because 'every1 likes South Park and I feel like less of an individual who likes progressive comedy. Wish I lived in the mid90s, back when there wasn't a high demand for 'progressive comedy' and not every1 consumed it and made it a part of their personality.
Kinda feel _______ about a show that has 'become popular' but still 'being progressive' and 'attempting 2 maintain a cutting edge tone' with the 'mass audience that they have garnered.'
Just wanna go 'adult swimming', and laugh at progressive comedy, dreaming about how 'I am random and smart...maybe 1 day I can write this stuff... Might start a pop culture blog instead with political opinions.'
I can't imagine how memes 'went viral' b4 the internet created an incubator in which 2 spread. How was the whole world able to rally behind an Xmas wish 4 ppl who aren't educated enough to 'get' the concept of Christmas? Weird 2 see old memes/people like Bono, Sting, Boy George, Steve Aoki, Ronald Reagan, and other vintage musical celebs who turned into vh1 legends. Even if their lives' have fallen apart since then, it's refreshing 2 know that celebrity pseudo-humanitarianism existed b4 the Barrack Obama Incident. Kinda a bummer that I have 2 see this video every winter--it reminds me that there are less fortunate ppl in the world on one of the most fortunate days of the year 4 me.
Like the authentic disco bassline in the s0ng, tho. It's a shame that such a beautiful song was ruined by content that wasn't about partying/relationships. I just hope that all of the bloghouse producers create some sort of super-group-for-a-cause, collaborating [via] the internet ( a modern version of the Postal Services).
I also wonder how long this xmas meme will be around. I think it will probably die about 30 years after Bono/Sting/Boy George dies. HOPE memorable Obama supergroup collab videos stick around to remember 4ever.
XX PERSONAL NOTE XX
h8 being home. Started off alright. had 2 go 2 the mall 2 do some last minute shopping. s00 many entry levelers & mexicalts everywhere. It's like they don't have a home and live at the mall. Wish they'd get jobs at the food court instead of stealing from mall kiosk entrepreneurs. Kinda ruined my day. Had a soft pretzel and an Icee. My tongue turned red and I started crying. Reminded me of Sparks.
The lead singer of a band usually has to find gimmicks 2 make the audience feel like they are a part of a special, magical, unique experience. One of the strategies that was 'perfected' by Bono (U2) and Chris Martin (Coldplay) is pretending 2 have so much magical energy inside of you that you have to walk into the crowd and every1 freaks out and tries to touch u. It is sorta like a 'God-complex' type of thing. Anyways, The Strokes played Madison Square Garden (the biggest indie venue in the world) and Julian Casablancas pulled the Coldplay/U2 move and 'walked into the crowd', singing "Take It or Leave It."
In the video, u can see so many ppl youtubing hella hard.
In other Strokes-related news, Nikolai Fraiture decided 2 wear a suit + tie.
A middle-aged Strokes fan bro was photographed next to a tween Strokes fan, representing the Strokes' diverse fan base.
This photograph represents Madison Square Garden's status as 'not only the greatest sports arena in the world, but the official home of the mainstream indie large scale concert.'
Does Julian Casablancas 'think he is God'?
Does the new Strokes album 'sound good live'?
Were the Strokes 'unfairly panned' by the indie blogging community?
Do the Strokes need 2 'pull an LCD Soundsystem'?
Do u <3 when 'frontmen' 'go out into the crowd' and let the commonfolk touch them?
Do u think Julian Casablancas is 'trying to be the next Chris Martin / Bono'? Win Butler : Bono :: Julian Casablancas/Ezra Koenig/Andrew VanWyngarden/_______ : Chris Martin ????
Who will be the next iconic 'frontman' of an indie band?
What is ur favourite 'frontman gimmick' that rock band frontmen use 2 'get the crowd pumped up'?
Julian Casablancas is the lead vocalist and songwriter of The Strokes. He is a pretty chill bro despite being born to rich and famous parents in NYC and meeting his fellow band members at boardings schools for spoiled-ass kids.
