Yall might be familiar with the popular tween Disney sensation 'Demi Lovato.' She is basically the 'latina Miley Cyrus', meant to appeal to the Disney tweens who have minority bloodlines, giving them a reason to 'dream' that one day they can be kinda white & famous, just like Miley/HannyMontanny.
Recently, I saw her tweet about her new favourite song, Neon Indian's "Deadbeat Summer", possibly the feel-good hit of the former year '2k9.'
It seems like she massively approves of this former indie-'it'-buzzband, and Neon Indian will soon be on iPods of tweens all across the country. For all we know, she might 'throw down a sweet collab' with Alan "NeonIndianVegaBro" Palomo, then they will have an on-again-off-again relaish that plays itself out in the tweenbased tabloids.
Because of these new fans, Neon Indian's next album may or may not outsell any AnCo debut, and prove to be 'music that tweens use to experiment with drugs.' As we learned from the 2k0s decade and the success of Radioheadian legacy, it is important for the legacy of a band to be 'music that an entire generation listened 2 when u first started experiment with _________(drugs/alcohol/handjobs)' so that it can leave ur fans with a bloated legacy. People will associate ur band with positive memories of 'feeling alive/free/open-minded' 4 the first time.
Feel like I h8 the 2k10s already. Like I'm losing everything that once belonged to me. Next thing u know, Lance Bass/Moby will join AnCo. Next thing u know, the XX will be tweeted about by Ashton 'PUNK'd' Kutchers. Next think u know _________(band that I haven't heard yet) will be blogged abt on pitchforks.
Wonder if she and the Jonas Brothers will team up to write some chillwave influenced songs in 2k13. (h8 this decade already)
Seems like Demi Lovato already lives a 'chillwave' lifestyle.
Recently watched her music video, "La La Land", a song about tween alternative individuality. In the song, Demi Lovato sings, "Who said I can't wear my Converse with my dress ....Well, baby, that's just me..."
The song has become an anthem for girls who 'wear tshirts' instead of 'short skirts' [via Taylor Swift metaphor abt the spirit of individuality].
I recently watched this Public Service Announcement filmed by some Latina High School Reject. Apparently, 'bullying' is a huge problem in public and private high schools these days. I am not sure if this is a 'new problem', or possibly a problem that has 'been around for a long time.' According to the government 'bullying' is a bad thing, but in this blog post, Carles will controversially suggest that bullying is natural selection.
I feel like bullying 'might be natural' and we should let it run its course whenever it happens. I have read in science textbooks that all living organisms are 'naturally selecting' the strongest to survive. For some reason, humans believe that every human has the right to 'live life peacefully'/thrive/success/make money without 'going through tough times.' I feel like animals in the wild are 'bullies' too. They find a way to intimidate the weak, kill them off early and eat them 2 stay alive.
It seems like we might need to keep the bullied alive so that they can perform 'menial jobs' when they grow up. They learn how to 'take shit' so that they can prepare for being at the bottom of society when they are older/are trapped in their lives'.
According to this youtube video, 160,000 kids stay home from school every day to avoid being bullied. It seems like it is reasonable to conclude that all of these kids are 'fucking pussies' or possibly 'fucking fggts.' It seems like there has to be some sort of 'root cause' explaining why they are not willing to change, or perhaps they do not have parents who are wealthy/educated enough to 'make sure that their son/daughter has the tools to fit in.' Would be 'devastated' if I knew why my son/daughter didn't fit in, and there was nothing I could do about it. Like what if I also thought my son/daughter was a 'dork', and I sorta thought the school bully 'knew what was up.' Would I be a bully, too?
There's really a difference between 'simple bullying' (stealing lunches, typical actions+words that bring out the bully's insecurities) and 'socially acceptable bullying.' In a way, rich school districts 'bully' to ensure the 'wrong kind of kids' end up at their schools [via poors / coloureds / less fortunate]. You and your bff bully the entire world by not letting any1 else have a friendship like yallsz. Sometimes u need to embrace exclusivity to make sure relationships/social status 'means something.' If every1 had money/the same colour skin, the world would not be a better place--there would be way 2 many issues 2 deal with.
I saw this kewl graphic on the internet about 'bullying', and I feel like my internet website might be some sort of bully. Perhaps a 'cyber bully.' Maybe I should 'trademark' that term since the internet is about to get really popular so that I can 'make mad money' in case it becomes a catchy buzzword.
Seems like most of these words+phrases are 'natural defense mechanisms.' U need to protect ur tribe. U can't just accept 'any loser' into your tribe. Seems like sometimes u need to 'step on other people' to make sure ur brand is strong + authentic. Not every1 was meant to fit in.
Overall I feel confused about 'Public Service Announcements.' Who pays for these productions, and how can I build a career where I am consulted to 'make these ads seem raw and authentic.' I want to be on some sort of strategic team that ensures The PSA Brand has a sweet typeface that tweens can relate to. I want to be in charge of 'convincing a tween celeb that our cause is important.' I am not necessarily interested in 'making the world a better place', but I would like to work with a team of people who are in some sort of project where they get caught up in the spirit of 'thinking that they are making the world better' (I would only want this career for only 3-6 months.)
Seems like a 'loaded' graphic
R u a bully?
Is bullying 'natural'?
When u rate an indie band, are you bullying the band by not 'accepting them in2 ur iTunes library'?
When u steal an mp3, r u bullying a record company?
Do you have any sweet bullying stories where u know that you 'acted appropriately'?
Did u ever get bullied, and did it make u stronger?
Did u cry to ur mom about getting bullied, then she had to go 'scare the shit out of a pussy-type of bully'?
Did ur classmates ever make fun of you for 'not being as rich as them'?
Is it really cost/time effective to 'worry about EVERY1's feelings'?
Can we have an 'us' without a 'them'?
Do we live in a progressive society where it socially acceptable for making fun of home-schooled kids?
As yall know, I am creative, I 'get' the internet, and I am interested in tween issues, which made it pretty natural to write a sitcom that dealt with these three topics. Needless to say, I'm super excited, and hope that my show catches on with test audiences. Do you think yall could give me some feedback if it is good enough for yall?
Show description: A Girl from Wisconsin created a youtube account, created videos, and 'went viral.' She was then recruited to star on a zany tween sketch comedy show called SO RANDOM. Her life changed, but she is still humble, and zany things happen around her with zany characters. While she has some zany conflicts with people who might be more/less 'viral' and quirky than her, she is sort of searching for meaning + special relationships, just like every1 else in our world.
Which character do yall 'relate 2'?
Do u think it is a 'good concept'?
Do u have any tween actors who yall could recommend?
Do yall think it has a chance to 'catch on' with tweens? I feel like the problem with most television 2day is that the people who write tv shows don't 'get' what happens in the modern world. They don't understand vlogging, and they don't understand youtube sensations. Just feel like this show has a better chance of resonating with tweens as opposed to outdated sitcoms like Seinfeld, Frasier, and Every Body Loves Raymond and H8s Chris.
Just interested in educating America's youth about concepts like 'microfame' and'macroanonymity' which have shattered most tweens' concepts of 'what it means to be successful' [via 'being famous'].
Will HRO 'make it' and launch the career of this new tween sensation? (kinda like Miley/Trace Cyrus)
Selena BB! Demi BB! I'm so glad u 2 are friends again!!
This gives me hope! This SAME EXACT THING happened to me and one of my old friends! Except instead of rehab breaking us up, it was federal prison. Also I was the one who turned her in. #dontwannatalkaboutit Actually, she's serving a life sentence. And she won't even let me visit her. even after i told her id bake her a cake that was extra high in IRON ;]
I dont really think their is any chance for us. Honestly I actually kinda dated my ex-bff. It was real weird bc I wasnt even a lezbie at the time, but eventually a lot of drugs and drinking led us to seeing the beauty in one another. The next morning we woke up with a series of dark sex toys sprawled around us, and I had to wash the sin off my body for hours--I was a Christian at the time. I went to confess my sins to a local priest, and he told me I wasn't welcome any more. What a meanie head! I was just experimenting...
Bu i'm so happy Selena and Demi are friends again!!! Luv u BBs!!
I hope Demi doesn't get in the way of Justin and Selena.... but maybe they'll have a threezie! #experamentation
Demi BB! U are SO STRONG! I remember u were caught doing blow 1 time... that's really sad. Cocaine is honestly a helluva drug... i cant even AMAGINE what Uve been thru!
Actually i probably can. My horrors can probly even TOP hers. One time my ex started making meth in my kitchen, and I got a lil bit addicted to the stuff. I lost a lot of weight, but i also lost my teeth. My employer at the time (KFC) had to fire me bc I would mess up the original recipe. It was a DISASTER that I actually served time for because the meth lab was actually under my property.
But enough about ME, lets talk about DEMI. u are so FIERCE in your new music vid. dont let NOBODY mess with you, gurl! u can rise tall! I really feel like youre bearing your soul to me when u stare tearfully into the camera!! way to express ur fellings! we LUV U DEMI!!
You can overcome N E Thing BB! #scryscraper #likeI’mmadeofglass
Justin should DEFANATELY date Demi and NOT Selena!
Demi BB! I'm so glad ur out of rehab! And that u have embraced ur FULL, CURVY body!
U look hella, hella hot hot hot! Ur Breast looks LARGE, and MASSIVE! Really sweet pair of cans, bb!
I am honestly afraid to show my cleavage because when I bend down u can see my entire pancake titty flop down. It is EMBERRASSING. One time my ex did something really sweet. He made me breakfast in bed. A short stack of 10 pancakes. But then one of them fell on my nude, exposed breast, and he laughed for hours because it was a pancake on a pancake.
I love love love Demi, and her CHA CHA looks REAL GOOD! I need to get that shirt from 4evr XXI!
Even though ur in a fender bender wearing comfy clothes, it doesn't mean that ur not totally effing amazing. BB! Don't listen to the h8rs now that ur off drugs! Embrace ur big, beautiful body! Loves it!
Honestly one time I was in a fender bender. well, I actually totaled my car. It REALLY SUCKED because I didnt have insurance and led to me taking the bus for the next 5 years. I met my exBF on a bus, which says it all. For the first year, he harassed me and made dark sexual comments. Then I realized he was the only man who gave me attention. So even though he was homeless, I let him live with me. It went really poorly becausae he stole all of my stuff to sell and ate all of my food.
Do u know how hard it is to kick a homeless out of ur house? Let's just say it involved a trail of food, $1 bills, and drugs.... It was a real hard breakup.
Demi BB! U look Gooood! Justin Bieber probably wishes he d8ed u! Selena who? #TeamDemi!
Demi looks GOOD and has embraced her THICK, Latina figure.
Don't get me wrong.... I love Selena Gomes, but at the same time, she is SUPER SKINNY. And skinny girls make me insecure. For example, I was at Red Lobster, and I ordered a Coke, and the BITCH skinny waitress was all like 'Ummm... do u mean DIET Coke?' and I was all 'Eff off u piece of effing shit' and i took one last bite of cheddar biscuits, told the manager, got $50 giftcard, called corporate hq and got another $100 giftcard, then went to a different location and had a Shrimpfest platter. #yum
Demi LOOKS GOOD even though she has gained some weight. NO she is not fat. She is beautiful. Really love evrything abt her.... Honestly happy she is OVER drugs and can LOVE HERSELF. The last time I was skinny, I had a boyfriend who used my apartment as his meth lab. While I did lose weight, I also lost my teeth. I also burned down the entire building due to a meth lab fire.
Demi is AMAZING and she is DEFINATELY BACK 4 good.
Demi BB LOOKS GOOD as she walks thru an airport, eating an apple.
I really need to eat more fruit, and natural stuff, instead of always reaching for the un-reduced fat Cheez-Its. My ex-boyfriend actually used to work at a Jamba Juice, so I had a lot of healthy snacks back then, but since we broke up, I basically only eat carbs, corn syrup, and sugar. I do NOT look good, bb!
I really wish there was a farmer's market by my house because I am tired of buying produce at Walmart because I am allargic 2 pesticides. Demi LOOKS GOOD and HEALTHY.
I need to hit the gym and drink smoothies with metabolism boost. #boosts
Demi... U look so GOOD And HEALTHY now that ur out of rehab... U r MUCH STRONGER and a better person for it. #dontrelapse, bb!
Here is Demi Lovato showing off her tattoos, but also some words on her skin. She is a TRUE INSPIRATION. Honestly, I Was cyberbullied for an era when I made a match.com and eharmony profile. A guy went out on a date with me, and basically pretended to go to the restroom and left the restaurant. It was HUMILIATING, then he wrote really negative reviews on my profile saying that my picture was taken from a high angle and it made me look skinnier. #camera_tricks
Demi LOOKS GOOD and I hope she is DONE doing drugs... It's a shame that Vanessa Hudgens is 'off the horse'... I wish girls knew how to behave, but I went through a rough patch, so I do UNDERSTAND.
Demi LOOKS GOOD, BB! #Staystrong
I might get that tattoo, right next to the butterfly on my ankle :-)
I am SO HAPPY that Demi is OUT OF REHAB and PUTTING HER LIFE BACK 2gether... I went thru a similar situation when I was 14, and many years later I am back on track after wrestling with my demons.
Demi LOOKS GOOD in a Dallas Cowboys t-shirt. She makes the shirt LOOK GOOD, bb!
But honestly I hate football. My biological father would get DRUNK every Sunday watching games and he would yell at my mom and I and my half-sister and some other people we had living at our house that I won't get into. It hurt a lot, and he would gamble all of our money away so we'd eat macaroni without cheese all month if he messed things up. One month he won big and bought me a Barbie. I still have that doll. I'm not sure why I just wrote that. I guess maybe he could be a good man if he changed, but I also had a boyfriend who wanted to play pro football but he was just fat and thought he could be a lineman, and I gave him money to go to Tampa to try out for a semi-pro team, but he just ran away and never came back #ihatefootball
Demi looks REAL GOOD
and I hope she keeps #stayingstrong because she is a GODDESS and and ANGEL
Selena Gom-who? #TeamDemi
Demi is DEFINATELY gonna end up with Justin Bieber 1 day.
I'm definitely gonna re-follow u. I LOVE TWITTER and I use it to @ my favorite celebrities and my girlfriends. One time one of the people who got rejected from American Idol tweeted back at me when I said they did a good job. It was AWESOME
Demi is a GODDESS and even though she went thru a rough patch, she DESERVES LOVE AND SUPPORT because she is a talented pop star.
She is no longer USING DRUGS and seems to be HAPPY now
#staystrong, bb
Demi looks rlly good.... I am #Jeal of this fan for getting to meet her! I really need to lose some weight just in case I run into a celebrity and I take a cell phone pic with them.
Demi Lovato totally beat rehab and she is so happy and healthy now....
But she always followed my advice to STAY STRONG, BB!
Now she got a wonderful new tattoo that says STAY STRONG, which is s000 true.... I really want to get inked, but I'm not sure what to get or where to get it. Maybe a lower back tattoo, or a dolphin some where, or maybe a butterfly around my ankle... I have a lot of ideas, but I am such a baby and scared of the pain!
Demi has stayed strong like a true bb and now her career is back on track.
I was super disappointed in Demi Lovato when she had to go to rehab. She as THE BEST voice on the scene today, and so much talent that it is tough to watch some1 go down in flames.
I honestly had a similar meltdown around her age when I had to take some time off from community college to get my life back together and finally get some professional help to help me to get over some past demons. I had a boyfriend who was there for me at the time, but I think i put him thru too much and the damage was done. Now THAT was hard to get over.
Thanks for checking in with us, bb! We were worried! Thanks 4 vlogging.
In her first public statement since exiting rehab in January, Disney star Demi Lovato says she's "excited to get back to work" after getting through "probably the darkest time in my life" with the help of her fans.
Ur SO PRETTY, even though u gained some post-coke weight, u do look sexy with a big, bloated face, bb!
Trust me... if you want to see a few chins, put a spycam in my mirror. Ugh... Gotta hit the gym soon or start my diet.
BB ur #SO_STRONG... Don't #fall_off_the_wagon, but even if u do, we're here 4 u, bb <3
"The journey that I've been on has been very, very difficult over the past few months," says a smiling Lovato, who was reportedly struggling with an eating disorder and self-mutilation. "I was dealing with issues that I know not only girl just my age, but of all ages are dealing with...I hope to one day raise awareness of everything just so I can help people, too, just like you guys helped me through this rough time.
"I can't tell you how much light you guys brought into my life in probably the darkest time in my life," Lovato adds. "Without you guys I wouldn't be here today."
Demi... Stay strong... Be urself... we <3 u
U WILL Redeem urself #redemption
Never, NEVER give up on ur dreams.
Hooray for Demi being BACK
Miley Who? Selena Gomez who? JBieber would MUCH RATHER have a nite of passion with Demi Lovato.
Demi Lovato is a popular Disney Tween star who recently went to rehab because she is a teen junkie [via the Lindsay Lohan model]. One time she tweeted abt how awesome Neon Indian was [link], and many were worried that she would ruin the Neon Indian brand. It seems like maybe Neon Indian ruined the Demi Lovato brand by partying hard with her & sending her into a 'complete tailspin'
Recently, Demi Lovato 'checked in2 rehab', and insiders have begun 2 say that her night really fell apart when she did tons of blow at a relevant Neon Indian afterparty.
The intense pressure on Demi Lovato reached a breaking point when reps for the young star announced she "left her tour to seek medical treatment for emotional and physical issues she has dealt with for some time," issues such as cutting and eating disorders.
Now, new eyewitnesses confirm to Life & Style those problems are only exacerbated by the teenager's heavy drinking and partying. Texas college student Brian Payne clearly remembers the night he spent hanging with Demi in North Richland Hills, Texas, where he saw her firsthand doing cocaine at a mutual friend's house party on Dec. 28 last year. "She was doing line after line like a pro - and she was 17 at the time," he tells Life & Style, recalling the wild party they attended after a concert by the band Neon Indian at the Granada Theater in Dallas. "I just remember her doing it as if she had been doing it for a long time. It didn't seem like something new to her."
Damn. It seems like this is 'great news' for Neon Indian's brand. Like they 'party so hard' that they send tween sensations to rehab. Feel like this is a great storyline for their upcoming album cycle, like something that will give them mainstream press. Instead of answering the question "HOW DOES IT FEEL 2 BE CHILLWAVE?" they can answer "DID YALL REALLY PARTY HARD WITH DEMI LOVATO?"
Sorta wanna go to a relevant Neon Indian afterparty now so that my life can 'totally fall apart' from doing line after line like I'm an effing pro.'
Wonder if Demi Lovato is going to sue "Texas college student Brian Payne" for snitching so hard on her blow habits.
"This is a young girl who got caught up in the fame and fortune of Hollywood and couldn't see straight anymore," says another insider. "She had eating issues and emotional issues, and everything else got hitched along with that."
Is there anything wrong with being skinny and having fun?
Do u think she really needed 2 go 2 rehab?
Is her disney career ovr?
Should Miley Cyrus do more blow with relevant buzzbands?
Will Demi Lovato re-emerge as a relevant indie star?
Do u think she got tired of partying with the Jonas Brothers [via drinking diet soda pop, eating pizza, and watching 3D movies]?
R u proud of Neon Indian?
Does this put them in a great position 4 their 2k11 album cycle?
Is it unchill that Neon Indian is being blamed 4 her rehab, or is it a good meme 4 them?
Have yall ever done line after line of blow at a relevant buzzband afterparty?
Have u ever done illegal drugs with some1 famous / alt-famous?
From what I understand, Demi Lovato [link] and Joe Jonas [link] were both 'huge Neon Indian fans.' Not sure if they really vibed out hard to Neon Brondian's chillwave aesthetic, or if they just wanted to say they listened to something that people said was buzzworthy. Feel like 'everything has changed' now that Demi and Joe broke up. I remember back in the day, I used 2 resent them for 'telling tweens about chillwave', but now I feel like they might have been the ones that 'took chillwave to the mainstream
Maybe 'the chillwave movement' is dead now that there might not be a unified authentic twitter account with over 500K-1000K followers who will listen 2 everything they say? Worried that the chillwave scene might not go mainstream if they don't have these 2 bros
R u sad that they broke up? Do u wish they could just be terminally chill and spend a deadbeat summer 2gether while they felt eachother all around blessa?
Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas have reportedly broken up already. A source told PerezHilton: 'Joe had his dad call Demi to break things off.' Demi's friends said that she 'had a good cry but she's already moved on. Demi is single and already exploring her options.' Do YOU think JEMI is really over already?
UPDATE: Demi Lovato & Jonas Brothers did photo shoots for teen magazines in New York City last week, but the Disney Channel banned any shots of them together, according to Perez Hilton. They demanded there should be,
'absolutely NO personal questions.. they are sick of talking about it. They never appeared in the same room together! Joe seemed pretty at ease, while Demi was said to look noticeably edgy despite forced smiles.'
According to Popstar! they noticed things seemed 'a little tense' during a recent photo shoot: 'For example, we were not allowed to shoot them together which we thought was a little weird since they were both present at the same time.
I feel like this is a 'mainstream scoop' but it could have a long term impact on the future of chillwave. Like there won't be as much twitter buzz about Neon Indian now that these 2 pop tween stars are gonna regret this era of their lives', and totaly shit on the music that they valued.
Worried that Jay-Z is turning on indie music and these Disney tweens are turning on chillwave.
Thought we were gonna have 'mainstream leaders' who would take the indie brand 2 the mainstream.
Guess I shouldn't have counted my chickens before they hatched [via eggs].
Sad about Joe and Demi, but I feel sorta happy, since he was probably a homosexual who was just in a fake relaish to keep the Disney CEO happy.
how will this breakup impact the future of chillwave?
Will only 1 of these artists get to hire Neon Indian as a 'backing band' in 2k11?
Just wish every1 could ride around on chill waves.
