Whenever I see a group of 2 or more alternative ppl with strong personal brands, I often ask myself, "What type of music would these ppl play if they were in a band 2gthr?" I am never sure if they are actually in a band, or if they even know how to play an instrument/GarageBand on a macbook. In today's world, we all 'want to be rock stars/blog house alt celebs.' It is important 2 ask important questions like, 'Who are these bros trying 2 b?' In the future, I will mimic an pre-existing personal/group brand to take my existence to the next level.
[via Deep City Dive]
These bros are in a band that sounds like
a) The Strokes
b) The Stooges
c) Mexicalts who just learned how 2 play guitar
d) Sonic Youth
e) Health
f) No Age
g) Enrique Iglesias
h) The Smiths
i) Brokencyde
j) At the Drive In
k) The Albert Hammond Jrs.
l) Fleetwood Macs
m) Cut Copies
n) a local altbag band who values their songs more than they should
o) Baggy and the AltBaguettes
p) Choose.Your.Own.Response
When u go out with ur closest network of friends, what band/posse do yall try 2 look like?
I am an altino. My personal brand has been constructed from a murky adolescence. I had no admirable male figure in my life, leading me to who I am today. My life is a series of symbols [via tat + jacket patch] which I don't completely understand. I am not sure what each symbol means or if any of my implemented symbols might contradict another.
My personal choices are bold. However, there is a high level of uncertainty in my self-concept. I don't know who I am. I don't know why I got a butterfly tatty on my neck. I don't know if I am a boy or a girl. I don't know if I am a goth or a punk. I don't know if I am an emo or a pokemone. I do not know if I am electro or power pop. I do not know if I am 40 years old or 12 years old. I do not know if I am brown or white. I do not know if my hair is straight or Mexicurlie.
The MexicAlt Identity Crisis is one of the 50 most interesting cultural topics of the past 10000 years. Might go to grad school for anthropoly/sociology and write my thesis abt it. Do yall know of any universities that let u make ur thesis in powerpoint? h8 writing. need bullets & pix & wordart.
XX BONUS POKEMONES XX
Does n e 1 else hope Pokemones take over 1st World Countries?
According 2 wikipedia...
Pokemon is the name of an urban tribe among Chile's youth that surfaced in the late 2000s.[1][2] They are readily identifiable by their angular and pressed hairstyles, reminiscent of characters from the Japanese media franchise Pokémon. It is currently one of the largest and better known urban tribes in the country.
Pokemones dress similarly to other tribes, such as Otaku and Emo, but they are not followers of anime like the former, nor share the musical tastes of the latter.[7] Pokemones are livelier and extroverted. During parties they dance to reggaeton music, while kissing and groping with as many people (male or female) as they can, which they call poncear.[3] They make extensive use of the Internet, trading photos of themselves on image-sharing sites like Fotolog and communicating through MSN Messenger.
Pokemones are usually from the Chilean middle and lower class. They are frequently juxtaposed against another group, the so-called peloláis, well-to-do girls with long, straight fairer hair from private, Catholic schools.
s00 scared of the Pokemones in 2k9
(maybe there's a lil bit of pokemonfggt in all of us)
Yall. Xmas is just around the corner. Let's start thinking about what we're gonna ask our cool moms & free-spirited dads 4 4 Christmas/Chaunnykah/TheKwanzaa.org.
Should I ask for a Members Only jacket and a Slutty MexiMAltstreamer? Do they sell humans on ebay/craigsZanyList yet?
Disney Star OR Just Another Mexi Who Walks Into a Tacky Store At The Mall to buy clothes that show off her padded bra (which enhances her B cups)?
Do celeb n00dz ever get old? [Picture link] (Not sure if I can h0st it cuz it might be a lil bit too 'kiddie' even tho she has a box cut.)
WHAT ARE YALL THINKING OF GETTING FOR CHRISTMAS? (besides a Mexi with a boxcut)
[Video may not be viewable in ur RSS reader]
I know a lot of yall don't get the opportunity to be an impressionable, 17 year old entry-level Mexi-alt living in Southern California, so I thought this video did a good job of capturing what the future of "fun" is. The modern DJ will have to do more than just spin records/press buttons. He will be a true showman, taking 'crowd participation' to the next level. The modern DJ is somewhere between a priest in his pulpit, and a rap super star.

What's ur fave part?

After the success of Lady Gaga, then the success of Ke$ha's song about partying + being a slut, a bunch of acts from the blog house / shitty myspace rap era are trying to 'come back' and release songs that might catch on with mainstream markets. Kinda like how Uffie is 'freaking out' since she made crappy rap songs about being a slut more than 2 years go. Must feel bad when a 'window of opportunity' passes u by, or you didn't have the right marketing forces to turn you into a 'legitimate' music sensation.
From what I understand, the Millionares are a group from California who 'started a silly myspace profile as a joke', then 'caught on' because they sang songs about boys, getting drunk, and being a slut. These themes are apparently important 2 young females these days. Their newest song/video 'Stay the Night' talks about how they will fuck a bro if he decides to sleep over, and the video showcases their California scene personal brands. Is this what every alt girl in California looks like?
Do u know what the deal with these girls is?
Are they just 'california sluts'/Mexi alts?
Is this band really big in California?
what's the difference between 'scene' and 'hipster'?
Are minority tweens who go to raves into this kind of music?
Is this the female version of Brokencyde?
Do u think this will 'cross over' and sell as many albums as Ke$ha / Vampire Weekend / MGMT?
The Whitest Boy Alive is a band that contains the member Erlend Oye, one of the most beloved alt celebs of all time. Their show is known as an indie pop fiesta which features dancing + chill vibes... Recently, they played a show in Mexico City, and Erlend Oye had his glasses stolen by the crowd. In the video, you can see the awkward moment as he climbed the balcony, had his glasses removed, then had people yelling "lentes, lentes", which we assume is the Spanish /Mexican word for glasses. Erlend has the ultimate face of 'not chill, bro' to all of the Mexican fans.
Glasses are one of the only ways that people with poor vision can see, so the band immediately quit the show. The glasses were reportedly broken as he climbed into a crowd of Mexi alt teens /a sea of Mexican children.
Fan Account from the exclusive Alt Report TIP LINE:
Yesterday I went to photograph a The Whitest Boy Alive show at a shitty night club (in Mexico city) and when it was about to end, Erlend Oye decided to climb a balcony to sing with some of his fans and obviously all the hipsters there wanted to touch him, so suddenly they broke Erlend's glasses. He managed to keep a piece of the broken glasses but there was another piece missing. He climbed down, and told them: hey, give me my glasses back , I can´t see a thing
No one gave them back and the show ended. There were more than 2000 Erlend clones enraged because they didn´t get an encore.
I think it was pretty funny, you don´t throw yourself at people when you virtually depend on your glasses, or at least you carry another pair for emergencies.
Was the Erlend Oye's fault for climbing into the balcony?
When you go to Mexico, can u expect them to 'play by the rules'?
Would this have happened in America?
Should Mexico pay the bill for his prescription glasses, or do they not have vision / dental coverage with his health insurance?
The Whitest Boy Alive wrote a letter to the Mexican Alt Audience:
dear mexican audience
....i am writing these few words to make one thing clear.the show yesterday ended like that, because somebody stole erlend's glasses.
that's fucked up, but it does NOT mean the end of the world.
the show was almost at it's end anyway, we were going to play maybe two more songs
so you didn't really miss out on something amazing.of course there was better ways to end the evening, but you have to know
erlend doesn't see without glasses, and that's why we couldn't continue playing.
yes he was upset, but that's not why we didn't finish properly.
it's just impossible to play, sing, dance and entertain people without seeing them.let's forget about this strange ending and try to remember the good time we had
and we had some good time.we are going home now after 3 great weeks in your beautiful country
and we will always come back, don't worrysee you in a year or two
maybe coachella???marcin
Does the band sound 'pissed'?
Did the band do the right thing by stopping their show?
Should Erlend have had backup glasses / rec specs / contacts / eye surgery?
Was it chill when the crowd started to chant 'culero'?
Have yall ever had something stolen from u / broken by other people in front of u?
Did Mexico ruin this chill, indie pop experience?
Did these Mexican fans think that his glasses were just a silly accessory, but not actually a way for him to be able 2 see?
