playing banjo

yo guys
guitar is out
banjo is in.
I dont wanna hear you walking around the quad playing your stupid bob marley and neutral milk hotel covers on your acou-y anymore. (seriously though. stfu)

its banjo time. So break out that ....what, 4 and a half string? and get to finger pickin'

do yo thing sufjan

whether its just you and your friends in your williamsburg appt. or your just chilling on the front stoop. play that folk-ish music. play it proud

banjo to heavy and or difficult for ya? try a mandolin or ukulele
the best part about this stupid trend. is that im enjoying the hell out of it.

this guys got the right idea

ironic shirts

why would you want to wear a shirt that said Hollister when you could look wayy more hip and totally ironic with a shirt that you paid 5 dollars for that says "worlds best grandpa"?
Or if text really isnt your thing, a 90's style nature scene isn't a bad choice either,
come on! deers and wolves always look great on your chest.
or--
if you really wanna take it
that one
step

if you dont get the reference (which is shocking)

Music You Don't know

To be truely cooler than everyone, you have to listen to the most elite pretentious music that none of your peers have ever listened to - nor enjoyed. This is one aspect of being hip that is going to take some time- or not?
It's called Filter. This lovely website,magazine, and i think they are getting a tv show on mtv?? have taken it upon themselves to be your number one stop in music ratings. For instance they just gave Kanye's new album a 10/10. Filter has RARELY if EVER given out a perfect score, so you already know without listening to the album that kanye's new album is going to be great. So you can go ahead and tell everyone you know that it is.

if you wanna know what these cool guys think is good music . go ahead to here

oh and heres some weird "good music"


OR (here's where it gets tricky) do just the opposite, be so against the grain, your against the people who are against the grain. perhaps "kanye's new album is completely overrated, i have no idea what pitchfork was thinking!"

Great job! you sound knowledgeable and cool.

Glasses

if you dont need glasses. stop wearing them.
i dont want to see your dads reading glasses from the 90's with the lenses punched out on your face. You look absurd, because everyone can tell that you don't need them. You cant just show up one day with insane glasses on and expect everyone to think that you magically just realized you need the most intense prescription ever

Whats up hip kitty

Look guys. we cant ALL look like Buddy Holly. its just going to get too confusing.
