One area which often seems to get neglected in these conversations, but which does actually set trends is skating. You see styles start there then make their way into the fashion world, celebrities start adopting them etc etc; baggy clothes and the 90s/2000s thing were back in skating several years ago.

theres also something to be said of making the ultra violent cute and palatable. We mentioned that in the 'meaning of japan' thread

making the ultra cringe cute and palatable?

was about to bring that up actually. skate and punk culture is as important as any other factor here

These art installations are reminding me of this white pube bingo card of art school shows that was doing the rounds a few years ago.

Worlds incubate interesting local customs and then export them to other worlds (or are ransacked)

basquiat is definitely a progenitor here but I think the warhol collabs are particuarly the 'moment'

theres a mass media element but its not any sort of critique. its no different than monet painting the french countryside

Cameron jamie who I really like is all about this actually. Subcultures. I've done a thread about him already

Cameron Jamie

Does everyone know about this genius? His short film "Massage the History" was a huge influence on Harmony Korine's "Trash Humpers". Also edited a Taschen book about Theo Ehret, wrestling photographer. In a band with the guy out of Destroy All Monsters and Dennis Tyfus. Also makes zines of dog...

This is the harmony korine aesthetic but with no ironic distance. It's totally genuine.

skaters are the biggest losers on planet earth. anything associated with sk8ers is lame

It should be legal to give them a few slaps, so when they say “unprovoked attack” in court you point at the board and Vans and mouth “you sad cunt” as the case is dismissed

Our kids know that they should A) never ever represent England at anything even if that’s Lego building, B) never ever sing god save that hoarding cunt of Windsor and C) skateboard

Cricket = ok, skateboarding = you’re out of the will
