Reason #1 They're posers

(This was how it was supposed to be done, subtle nods to the old school, we had no idea it was about to go too far...)


It started off like such a good idea, "hey all this crap on the radio that claims to be hip hop sucks! lets take it back to the roots!" i was just beginning to feel a little bit of hope for the scene. thinking ok thinks got so bad that they just started over in order to save it, thats cool. i saw the hair cuts go back to flat tops, the dookie chains come back (in subtle tasteful ways mind you), even saw cats buying $89 affordable addidas rather than them expensive ass $270 j's. things where looking up. then like a plot twist at the beginging of a movie, things went tragically wrong. it was as if whoever was in charge of turning the clock back got one of the hands stuck and things began to move at a rapid pace.
the subtle retro look that gave smooth and clever nods to the 80's and 90's suddenly became not so subtle and before you knew it people weren't wearing outfits that people normally wore in those times: they were wearing costumes.
almost overnight it suddenly became the norm to see a grown ass man walk around in a full cross colors outfit with a purple mohawk, glasses without the lenses, and a radio raheem boombox (just the case of course, we wouldn't wanna actually be playing any music, afterall these are posers don't you know). the movement takes a bigger plunge when you realize that MOST OF THESE DUDES WASN'T EVEN BORN IN THE ERA THAT THEY'RE REPPIN. How the hell you gonna be wearing a shirt that says "80's baby" when you born in 92?

YOU KNOW ITS OK THAT YOU DON'T LIKE THIS CRAP RIGHT?


(look at my dude on the right, his poor nuts are MAKING his legs do that. they dying!!!)



There are certain undeniable truths that are so inarguable that even to question them automatically puts you in a situation that leaves your character itself in question (if not totally irreversably damaged). the question whether or not America's deep reliance on slavery was such a bad thing makes you look pretty racist, To deny the holocaust as a real event pretty much solidifies you as an anti semite, and of course questioning the point of men walking around in skinny jeans and halter tops makes you a raving homocidal homophobe.



....wait what!?


While of course that last one isn't true you would think it was based off of some of the arguments people have in favor of the hipster classes latest and greatest atrocity to all things hip hop: THE SKINNY JEANS LOOK.

its starts off subtle enough, the good ol reverse pshycology move. make it seem as if its wrong for you to find it a little strange that a dude suddenly wants to walk out wearing his 12 year old sisters jeans. they have the standard excuses such. ones that are made to paint you as out of touch, without style, or as stated earlier, homophobic but when a little reasoning is brought up you realize that these arguments are weak.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG
I have no intentions of starting a revolution, i wish no physical harm to any of these already suffering souless people, i just simply want to vent and give sanctuary to others who feel like i do and want a good laugh/explanation as to why they hate this movement but don't know why....now you will.
