hmm, that story gives the impression that these people only care about fashion, pop bands, have mediatic values, find work boring and spend their days posting stuff, etc...

why is this now just being recognized in the white community? i mean look at the black community, the father can be rockin out to some RUN DMC and the same time could also be bumpin the new Ghostface wit his kid.
idk just seems weird that most of the examples are white parents trying to be hip

makes sense.
although I haven't seen very many of those people around here.

Because black men in the US have typically been doing that for decades. Some don't know when to quit acting like they're still 19 and cool.

I think it also depends on where you live in the city. What about the suburbs?

i feel bad for their kids. they really are going to grow up super conservative. not like that's a terrible thing.
i read somewhere once that these sort of things are cyclic, as in kids do what their parents didn't.

“If really hard-pressed, I would admit that I actually own a Clash T-shirt that I got from that last Clash tour,” the musician told me. “But I don’t wear it! And I’m certainly not going to wear it under an Armani black blazer. I even remember meeting this guy who was around my age, who was wearing an expensive blazer, and on the lapel was a London Calling button. Who the fuck wears that? That’s what I wore when I was 18 in art school! And you’re the same age as me? And you’re wearing it again?” He pauses, then adds, “And you know what? Giving your kid a mohawk is fucked up, too.”
hahaha

I drink gin and smoke cigars. I will be wearing black suits by the time i'm 25, driving black sedans that pollute the environment, and listening to country music. If I watch TV, it's for CSPAN. If I buy jeans, they are $30 Levis. Briefcase, not messenger bags. Wingtips, not All-stars. Crew cut, not emo mess.
I will become the anti-hipster.
- zedvox0
Watching CSPAN on purpose is plain stupid, i don't care what anyone is trying to be. hipster or anti-hipster....CSPAN is television's equivalent of rectum medical exam video.

I actually like it. I like watching my government in action, and listening to speaches and points of view.
If you hate CSPAN, heaven forbid you discover NPR.

Bob Greenberg is Captain Grup

uhm NPR is at least informative and interesting. CSPAN is like going to a 3rd grade zoo.
