Treasure Island music fest was MIND BLOWING TO ME.
As a San Francisco native, a little psuedo suburban punk rocker mod rude boy goth (yeah I dressed worse than anyone, and listened to worse music than anyone, so I can judge)……
What *IS* the deal? With that scene?
WHAT… IS… THE… DEAL?
I mean, I know I am 32. I am quickly becoming very, very unhip. I do music festivals… camping in freezing cold 29 degrees, or 105 degree during the day type of affairs. I have worked them. I have gotten crazy at them. I burned for years, and am down with the psuedo – bohemian scene (because frankly, I like fadoras with feathers in them and the burner girls are sooo cute.) and love microcosms of style and dress. Like I said, I was in the SF punk ska scene and moved through to goth. I was totally a little suburban kid trying to create a minority class for myself.
BUT THE 80’S ARE BACK!
It frightened me. It baffled me. The kids at Treasure Island have adopted 80’s gotcha surf style with day glo, ray bans, neon vans and pumas….
is that all because of Justice? It was crazy!!
Someone explain…. why the hell is mid 80’s consumerism with fluorescent everything and John Hughes style coming back??? It is so awful. I would post pics, but I don’t want to be mean to the kids. They think they are cool as shit, and so did I. I can’t judge…
but it was staggering. Like.. what is the deal?
So what is the deal?
where did that come from?
