YES I TOTALLY REMEMBER. It’s weird that some people have held onto that trend for so long…? Like they internalized back then that it was super cool and have never been able to shake it
Picking Up That Drink Could Be Easier, Guy.
There is a definite overlap in personality type between dudes who love fedoras and dudes who will carry their backpack on only one shoulder no matter how much it inconveniences them.

Fuck those Pitchfork assholes scrambling to blow each other over the new Daft Punk record (which is great, save for maybe 2 tracks, it’s brilliant), because it’s obviously going to be huge in the zeitgeist, but let’s all look back at how those internet twerps have never given a studio Daft Punk…

To be fair, I am just getting over an absolutely devastating flu so my wheezy lungs are even wheezier than normal. Also as a result I have no muscles left or any energy, so hiking yesterday to check out some local geomorphology (mountains near Anyang, Henan province) was pretty much hell and I kind of thought I was done for. (fyi no muscles does not make you Gumby, it makes you a useless piece of shit). Especially when we had to hike down and my professor said, “Man I didn’t realize how steep this slope was. WELP BE CAREFUL”.
