Ryan Adams has a effectively coBranded himself with a little bit of quirky Southern Dressiness. That's why I can't really handle it when AltBags choose to simulate the Ryan Adams aesthetic. I feel like implementing the Ryan Adams aesthetic is kind of like the alternative equivalent of when mainstreamers put on a white or blue button-down 'going out' shirt and some frayed wide-legged jeans + funnie shoes.
These specialized altBags attempt to take advantage of their small frame, defined jaw, long-ish hair, and the opportunity to 'dress more authentic than alts who wear American Appy.' The Southern aesthetic is often a misused branding tool for people who are in search of conveying authenticity.
<3 kids from the suburbs who dress like they are from a Quirky Farm <3
The real Ryan Adams (utilizing quirky glasses/authentic leather jackets)
The real Ryan Adams (utilizing Southerny shirts + non-skinny-jeans jeans [rare bootcut implementation])
The Real Ryan Adams (utilizing post-fashionable sunglasses + head2toe denim)
Do u know an altBag in your community who utilizes the tools of Ryan Adams to differentiate from being 'just another altBro consumer brick in the wall'?
Do u know any other celebrity examples of altBros / altBags who need 2 be pointed out as leading men for alternative demographics?
If u were a bag, would u rather be a RyanAdamsBag or a 'I'm Probably In a Punk Rock-ish Band' Bag?
Or maybe just the standard model of the AltBag, which comes in the Tragic McHumbleVainBag model (whose parents still support him financially because without their money, he wouldn't be able to live in the authentic part of town + have a meaningful lifestyle).
Some altBags are altBags because of the way they are on the inside.
Most altBags are altBags because of the way they attempt to look on the outside and what they don't have on the inside.
It's Monday. You can't listen to dance music 7 days a week.
Time for some thing different to start your week.
Did you watch Spoon on SNL? Or did you not last past another crappy edition of Weekend Update?

Chicago is a mecca of everything that is hipsterdom. Located in the middle of the country, it is a city worth writing a song about. Some people love New York, others love LA. Chicago may or may not be a city worth loving, too. If you are a band, you will stop there, though. They have a scene for every one.
If you are driving to Chicago for Pitchfork Music Festival next summer, maybe you should put these songs on your mix.
