I remember back in 2k7, I was passionate about very different things than I am now. Electro blogs with neon layouts. ‘Bangers.’ Electro duos. I used to be a bloghousebro. Now it seems like ‘the world has turned and left me here’ since I got a tattoo of ‘the Justice logo.’ I’m not even sure if Justice are ’still together.’ They are probably playing the ‘theme park’ and ’state fair’ circuit with bands like Jessica Simpson/Bowling for Soup/Everclear/other bands that have ‘gone out to pasture’ 2 die.

These days, I only listen to Grizzly Bears and the Animal Collecting. It’s just kinda weird how much things have changed. Considering getting ‘Veckatimest’ tattooed on the shaft of my cock. I remember when I got my Jousteeece tatty, I told my parents that it was ‘biblical.’ Can’t believe I am ‘just another bro with a cross tattoo’ even though I don’t even really ‘get’ God.

Back then, I assumed electro would ‘be forever.’ I assumed that bloghouse would eventually become ‘mainstream’ and get played on the radio, side-by-side with top40 radio. Now I feel like if I brought ‘bloghouse’ up in a conversation with a circle of entrylevelers, they would say ‘what is that?’ I feel like I am possibly a music purist for being so connected to the bloghaus era.

Are my glory days behind me?
Should I have my tattoo ‘electronically removed’?
R u ashamed of the person who u used 2 b?

Fortunately, Stevebro sang the song [via banger karaoke] on his Far Eastern Tour.

I feel like they always saw different parts of the world are several years behind American culture. Feel like this scene reminds me of the American BlogHouse era of 2k7. Every1 was down 2 partie, altbros wearing sillie scarves, crowd jumping, fist bumping. A swarm of party photographers on the stage with high level flashes+lenses, looking to get the most meaningful angle on a photograph of an altceleb getting beliggy on stage.. Girls in v-necks showing ‘just the right amount of cleavage.’ Miss those days. Just wish I could have been ‘on stage’ seeming V.I.P., away from the crowd, but managing to end up in 7-12 party pix.

Think my fave part is towards the end of the video where some sort of AZN man in suit starts removing bros from the stage. Miss the days of ‘crashing the stage’ with my friends after we got ‘hella buzzed.’

Think HRO might tour Asia. Seems like a place where people ‘relax’ and have a good time. Do yall think SteveBro is a good singer?

Can u find Steve Aoki?

I miss dualcoreAZN memes.


Just want 2 go back 2 the days when I could wear a purple v-neck, a palestinny scarf, and neon wayfarers without ‘feeling ashamed.’
