Have yall heard about this post-modern rock star? He seems pretty chill. Might download his album or something... but srsly yall. It's weird how Girl Talk's brand is still being consumed by mainstreamers. Like they are discovering some 'gem' or something. I guess what we have learned is that Girl Talk does nothing too special as a DJ, but his brand is strong and identifiable--he is white, used to have a 'real job', and represents our inner-whitebro having a good time, partying & becoming the person we want 2 be. I guess that makes him 'creative' or something. Wonder how much he charges for a DJ gig. Glad I was into him 'before he was too famous' [via "I'm a PC" ad]
Also saw that Damien Hirst was on this list.
Not really familiar with any artist other than Andy Warhol, so I read up on this bro. Apparently he sells are for 'a shit load of money' even though it is stupid. He apparently sold some gold shark or something for $1 million. He is apparently going to sell his cadaver after he dies to make some 'art.' Seems authentic/like a gimmick/like a dream job. Damn. Feel jealous. Can't believe these creative people get paid for their passion, but I don't get paid for what I love to do.
Is it still alt to deify Marc Jacobs? Wish people turned their backs on fashion designers like they do on bands.
Not sure how I feel about this list of creative people. I think Tyra Banks is on it. So is the guy who shoots the Sartorialist. So is the guy who designed the iPod/iPhone. Glad he got #1.
It's weird when 'magazines' build these intense, deep lists of people who are influential. It's like they take 1 person from every niche of the cool aspects of society that are covered by blogs. Think it might be some sort of scheme to get 'mad hits.' Tech bros + movie bros + design bros + music bros + government bros + female bros + African American bros + fashion bros + ______ bros. Important 2 pick diverse lists. Think that this list is 'sponsored by HP' and some HP bro is on their list. Might be a scam. Might need to destroy my Hewlett Packard desktop/Photo+printer+scanner.
