Just got back from from my local mall. Sorta surprised that I made it out alive. Got some super krazie deals, s0 excited for Christmas now. My family is going 2 go 'banana' when they see what scored. Defs, best blk friday evr. So glad my trust fund recovered this yr, lst r was a bummer.
NeWayz, feeling hella worried about something...while I was pushing this 300 pound meximom out of the way (just tryin 2 get zhu zhu pets 4 my lilsis) Cut Copy's Lights and Music came on. This took me by surprised so much that I dropped the Zoozoo and the meximom who I had pushed onto the ground rolled over and smothered it. I was in shock knowing that I had ruined my sister's first conscious xmas:( Oh well, I thought to myself, she may have her zhuzhu pet, but at least I am not a minority. I then went over to Linen'N'Things to buy my mother a down comforter, I do owe her one after I took hers and cut it up for my apparel construction class. Jus tryin 2 b experimentally chic, yall. She wasn't too happy with my winter line of downe inspired vests/coats/maims/capes. Srry mom, <3>
Worried 4 the future.
Why do msntrm shops feel an entitlement 2 our music? I feel that if a store has 1.5 or more locations than it cannot play alternative music. It is ours and limited to alt shops such as noncorporate cafes, art galleries and electro nite clubs. These r the places I prefer to patron and do not mine having them 'bask' in my culture. I feel violated when some 'big' corporation plays a cd that they paid 'big' money for decides 2 play what means alot 2 me. It took many dedicated hours, sitting at the computer, with bloodshot eyes, skewering Hypem, Stereogum and my other favorite blogs, 2 create the perfect playlist and I don't want sum fkin mnstrmer finding out about the same music as me b/c they decided 2 buy a fourth of July flg shirt at old navy.
I am annoyed, I feel worse than a rape victim, and my culture has been stolen from me, all that I hold near and dear is no longer mine. Uggos/pooros and fashionable unfit ppl r going 2 begin 2 listen 2 the same music as me. First we lost American Apparel 2 the mall, now indie n electro. What is next? It's time 2 take a stand, we must stop this pillory, our favorite bands must be kept hidden from msntrmsers, and it is up 2 us 2 end this now. I believe we have the power.
I have a dream, that one day our music will b saved, that we will 1 day live in a world were alts can exist free from persecution from mnstrmers and the thief of their precious and meaningful culture. I have a dream that America can b a bastion for alts worldwide. And if now, let’s just take whip it’s and kill ourselves
