The life and fucked up times of a 17 year old boy, where sex, drugs, fights, alcohol, indies, watermelon-throwing ninjas and fire-breathing pirates are daily routine!

Being Indie
Have you noticed all those people around you, who just don't seem that normal? The people who wear gumboots with dresses, have nose piercings bigger than anything that could come out of the actual nose, have ladders/holes in all their pairs of tights, wear red tight jeans, have a constant bong cough, own multicoulored vests and so on and so forth?
No, they're not from the circus's freak show act, let me reassure you there, but they are a growing species. The indie, or 'individual' as the scientific name would have it, is about as common as a seagull in society nowadays.
All these people dress the way they dress, act the way they act, listen to the music they listen to because they want to be 'non-conformists'. I mean, you have to be pretty non-conformist/fucked up if you voluntarily choose to listen to something with album artwork like THAT! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But doesn't that defeat the purpose of being an individual, if they ALL DRESS THE SAME?! I mean, come on, what the fuck, as if you cannot possibly see that they all look the same? Same weird combover-look hairstyle, same bright purple and green stockings, same stoned look in their eyes... (Okay the last one wasn't a good example. When you're baked you can't help looking like that).
Basically, the whole 'indie movement' is now part of the fashion of our times, it's become 'mainstream'. So if they REALLY were indie, would'nt move on to something different and leave all the general masses behind? Something like shaving all your hair off and wearing a crown of feathers like the Native Americans, or wearing nothing but a leaf over your genitals, like Adam and Eve? I mean, that's pretty fucking hardcore indie if you're willing to go that far...
So seriously, stop listening to Animal Collective or the Cancer Bats, you're just hurting yourself (and others around you who have the misfortune of overhearing your music), stop wearing plaid shirts with vomit stains on them and stop talking about new ways to grow marijuana in your backyard!

ReplyDeletei agree, fucking indie has become mainstream. it pisses me off!
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh and i totally agree with you. I dont necessarily mean im pissed off,i just think its ironic.
ReplyDeleteI think in a way,none of us want to be deemed common,and what was once outrageous dress is now mainstream.
If it makes you feel any better.Im a girl,and i shaved half my hair off long time ago,now that its becoming more common i should be pissed off,but instead i dont really give a fuck about anything anymore & maybe i might fade into the background-in fact it might be the new thing.
