what is w the chokehold marc jacobs' heaven has on youth fashion/trends/etc rn?? a dork is dying to know but i think it has smt to do with ~ celebrity, branding, romanticized nostalgia, & plastic authenticity (**this show is just musings** check out YT vids fashionlover4 - How Marc Jacobs Ruined Heaven & angelbbkira - the problem with heaven by Marc Jacobs for more info/context/knowledge)

what's so bad abt being tempted?? asking for a dork

does anyone else find straight mint to be so intense? or is that just a dork thing?

it's hazy whimsy hrs on citr 101.9fm ft angel numbers & misc adoration

a breeze is... carefree. fleeting. open(ing). sweetness. temporary. allowance. welcome. cool.

inspired by a reaction to music that just came out that sounds exactly like everything they've been doing for the past 10 yrs

cool is a fake thing.. you don't have to be beholden to it. didn't you know?

a dork's thoughts on Shoichi Aoki quote “decline in coolness via simplicity, functionality, and comfortability” (via Mina Lee Harajuku video)

black innovation is @ the center of all popular music genres (house, punk, metal, rock, pop, etc.) ~ reflections on episode 3 of 1619, "the birth of american music" ft wesley morris & hosted by nikole hannah-jones, listen here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/06/podcasts/1619-black-american-music-appropriation.html ~ DONATE TO/SHARE LOCAL BLACK INITIATIVES ~ Vancouver Black Library @vanblackli...

happy love day !!!! what's ~your metaphor for how you love someone? just something to think about xox

this definition is quoted in a Mina Lee video but not in the one that i thought it was in so oops but it's an interesting association & i feel like we were still able to get into it ~ this ep talks abt art, obscurity, deviance, the gays, & "success" alsooooo i mis-called the last 2 songs oops again ~ plush management played after lil_babeee_4eva & rainbow island closed the show (see co...

do trends exist bc they're finite? idk but let's talk about it. rest in power vivienne westwood, lola "gangsta boo" mitchell, & fred white who all passed away in this past week

buckle up for the annual Top10ArtistsPlayedOnteachablemomentsIn2022 episode (+ honorable mentions) **HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!** 10 ~ Sophia Stel 9 ~ Otto & Pudding Club 8 ~ TJ Felix 7 ~ Blue Hawaii 6 ~ Big City 5 ~ umru 4 ~ MA$$ANK 3 ~ Megamall 2 ~ Cherry Blu 1 ~ DUMB

soooo when genres that explicitly challenge existing sonic norms are innovated & then they become popular, does that saturation mean that they aren't transgressive & so they aren't "cool" anymore???? idk.

an ep for the sweet angels who are so precious to me

this definition is off of urban dictionary circa 2018 & there's a lot to unpack...

language is so weird hey?? this ep is an impassioned case for opinions. go forth & reflect! also s/o to the backyardigans ~

it's not cool to be attached to a too rigid version of yourself. it's much cooler to know your boundaries and also be open to changing and growing. take it from a dork.

damp is heavy is stuck is enduring. happy tuesday :)

"is relevance necessary to be 'cool'? are relevance and obscurity antithetical? does obscurity only have 'value' in early resurgence? is the relevant too accessible? is resurgence necessary for relevance?" ...i hope my notes for this episode were illuminating & clarifying rather than convoluted & confusing. enjoy!

what got you hooked?? a dork ~needs to know

it's sad boy seasonal transition and dork talks abt melancholy, angels, & the permeated sadness that haunts their life these days. so basically a feel good autumnal ep for sure.

idk what cool is but i know it's not ~that
