California Alt
Will AltBro Karaoke save the music industry?

I just watched this sweet new song by the buzz band 3BRO!3, and it made me feel something that I haven't felt in a long time--it made me feel alive... like some1 truly understands me.

It was as if some1 captured all of my social insecurities and sexual angst, and put them all in a song in a very digestible format [via the power of music]. I felt like there were other people on this planet who looked like me (I look like a bro who didn't go to college, but moved into an apartment complex and threw some sick parties any ways.) It gave me a little hope that maybe 1 day, me and my best bro can move to California, transition into AltBro (California Style) make some cute lil songs, and then appeal to an emerging market of 'lost tweens.'

Really want 2 'move 2 cali' and convert to a 'california style bro.' It seems like they can just 'be stupid consumers' without having to worry abt 'seeming like the are intellectuals.' Sorta wish I could still dress/look like the 3Oh!3 bros. Wish that Tony Hawk was listed as one of my role models on facebooks.

Sorta wonder what is the 'connection' between mainstream and alt that seems to be s00 marketable these days. Maybe alternative ppl just are more in touch with their insecurities.

I feel confused by 3Bro!3. I am not sure if they are supposed to appeal to teen girls, tweens, altbros, or the homosexuals.

Seems like if I lived in Cali, life would be simple. Like I wouldn't have to worry about being 'alt', and I would just think I am 'normal' but I would actually just be a consumerAlt who shops at Hot Topic, Am Appy, and Urby Outfitties without really even 'thinking about it.' Feel sad that I'm not a CaliAlt.

Has n e 1 been to California? Is it true what they say abt it?
Do u 'get' 3bro!3? Do u think they will make Pitchfork's best mp3s of the decade list?

Herd of Californian Electro teens crash gate of rave, almost trample HARDFEST security 2 death


We are the
Electro teens
We are the
Electro tweens

We love the music
We love electro
We love the rave
RAVE OR DIE MOTHER EFFERS

Sad we have no money
Still trying to get jobs at Jamba Juice/Pink Berry
Then maybe I'll go to community college, major in computer graphics
and get a job at the Apple Store

We walked around the entire festival grounds
looking for a weak point in the fence.
Really felt like we were gonna go 'Ocean's 11/12/13/14' on the Festival

If we got caught
If 1 of us fell down
We had 2 go on
We had to experience the rave
and live to tell stories of the meaningful live DJ sets
to our bros
and 2 our future children

honestly feel like if a festival headliner saw our courage
they would 'invite us 2 chill in VIP'
because they want people who truly appreciate them.

We are the Electro Gate Crashers
Fighters 4 festival freedom [via $0 tickets]
Just wanting 2 party at a low cost price point
True fans like us getting priced out

We're not taking it any more
This is our fight
Old people say we 'don't stand up for anything'
Effing watch this shit, bitches

Cops/security guards coming after us
soon we will jump the fence
and blend in with the crowd, finding safety
Raving hard all day with my fave DJs


Note: also had some fence jumping experience [via running from the cops]

Are California raves too dangerous?
Are Californian teens too violent and aggressive?
Will music festivals have to invest in electric fences, moats, or armed guards in order to keep people out of the festival?
When u see some1 jump a fence, do u get pissed because u paid $300 for a ticket, and they got in for free?
Have u snuck in2 sooo many festivals 4 free, or do u just get free tix [via VIP connections]?
R u worried about going to festivals/raves in California?
Should all of these teens be 'sent to jail' for trespassing?
