I recently read a story about a group of 50 bros dressed in all black who 'caused mayhem' on some street, then threw some rocks/beat in the windows of an American Apparel store. This indicates that 'retail terrorism' might be recycled into a relevant alt trend. I feel scared because I was sorta getting behind the concept of buying stuff from trusted brands to express who I am. Like the concept of 'consumerism' has sort of become 'chill' these days, as opposed to something that we are supposed 2 h8.
Recently, another bro crashed a small airplane into an Internal Revenue Service building in Austin, Texas.
It seemed like he was sort of trying to promote a similar brand, like 'money is bullshit' or something, or maybe that 'the government enables this bull shit society in which we are trapped.'
I feel shaken up by these recent acts of consumer + retail terrorism, like the idea of being anti-government + anti-consumerism is 'back', and I might have to ride that wave in order to be considered an 'interesting person with a relevant opinion.' I like the way things are now, where I just have to keep up to date on buzzbands to be interesting. I think being a self-aware American is fun and chill, since we sort of just get to 'cope' with other ppl abt how we are trapped, but then just watch viral videos and forget about it.
Worried I might have to 'backpack bomb' a local suburban mall or something in order to be alt + authentic.
Sorta wonder if the post-1990s vibe of 'Fight Club' is 'coming back.' Like we 'hate consumerism', and we need to perform snarky acts of chill / metaphorical terrorism to free ourselves'. Miss u Project Mayhem / Fight Club.
Did Fight Club help us 2 become more authentic consumers, or did it 'set back the anti-consumerism' movement 20 years?
Seems like formative alternative bros probably chilled with Fight Club posters in their rooms. Miss u Ed Norton + Brad Pitt.
Sorta miss the days Ed Norton's career when he was 'budding into a relevant alt actor' and it was 'kewl' to say he was ur fave actor. I remember in American History X when he committed an act of retail terrorism against a local market that was hiring illegal immigrant workers.
I feel confused, since terrorism is 'violence', but maybe 'standing up for something' in the real world will become a more popular trend. There will be backlash against 'cowards who only exist on blogs / the comment forms of blogs.'
Is 'retail' bullshit?
Is eCommerce the future/the past?
Should we blow up all of the credit card company buildings across the world?
Should we start regional Fight Clubs with our bros?
If u had a relevant chain of branded clothes + apparel, what type of mall would u put it in? Maybe a safe indoor mall.
Maybe outdoor malls with security guards seem 'safe', since they are tucked away in suburbia
do yall trust 'mall cops' 2 protect ur merch, or is retail inventory 'so cheap' that it doesn't even matter?
R u gonna keep buying stuff from retail outlets or commit metaphorical terrorist acts on them?
Should Am Appy use more animal fur to attract a new demographic of protesters?
How can I perform an act of 'retail terrorism' on Amazon.com?
Should I get a summer job at Hot Topic, then set it on fire?
As tweens grow into their teen years, will they experience a consumer backlash against Jonas Brotherian/Hannah Montanian ideals which they once 'bought in to'?
Will Brad Pitt's most memorable role always be _________?
Hey yall... Just doing some last minute Halloween shopping... I'm in the candy aisle, and I'm having a difficult time weighing what is important to trick or treaters vs. my budget in the current economic recession vs. how I want to 'brand' my house as a destination for trick or treaters. Not sure if I need to 'invest' in a gourmet selection, or if I should just buy 'a shit load of cheap shit' since kids don't even know what they life.
It seems like u can get a really good deal on the Tootsie Roll variety bag, but I'm not sure if kids like that kind of candy. I feel like this variety bag lets people know that ur poor, and trick or treaters don't matter 2 u.
Might try to 'look like a baller' and hand out full-size candy bars. Since I live in a neighborhood with multi-million dollar homes, we might be expected to hand this shit out.
'Fun size' seem good in theory, but I think people eat 5-10 fun size bars at a time, then don't really have a 'fun' experience with the candy brand. Seems like people feel 'guilty' then grab their love handles.
Do yall know if it is still alt 2 hand out apples with razors in them?
Might participate in my local dentist office's candy-buyback program. Seems like a great community initiative 2 decrease cavities in our local community.
Does n e1 know what I should be for Halloween?
Does n e1 know a good candy 2 hand out without ruining ur brand?
Does n e 1 know which candy won't make u look like a poor/cheap ass hole?
What r u gonna be/do 4 Halloween?
Do yall ever wish Halloween lasted all year so that u could pretend 2 b some1 else 4ever?
What r u doing 2nite?
Ke$ha is a female autotune rapper who is marketed in the post-Lady Gaga niche. She sings songs about drugs, getting 'crunk', and 'getting drunk.' Her songs are meant to appeal to tweens who want to become a pop sensation & live in Los Angeles.
Recently saw her go 2 the beach and wear a Pixies tshirt. Wonder what her fave Pixies song is. Wonder if the Pixies are a 'vintage band' that even mainstreamers know abt. Is the 1 piece bathing suit + big baggy old band t-shirt this year's summer beach look?
Do u ever wish u could just re-live the Fight Club ending scene over and over again 4 the rest of ur life?
Will Ke$ha have to 'work out more' so she can be 'as sexy' as a slutted out Lady Gaga?
Will Uffie's upcoming album 'chart' in the billboard top 10?
