Those are song lyrics

but I do get the appeal of trendy hipster shit now

it's a quick way for them to feel each other out

hipster shit is all about aesthetics

*Ahem*

which is why women like it

In Mark Fisher's CAPITALIST REALISM

women LOVE aesthetics.

@ᚱᛟᛟᛏ that's why it's so effective at finding people you like through it

He very succinctly explains

yo

Spooky

I like this aesthetic

I never read that book

Should I?

That alternative and independent are not only fully and completely established and unchanging, they are the dominant styles of mainstream culture.

other people that like this aesthetic, I tend to get along with

Alternative, and Independent aesthetics are the uniform of the mainstream.

And yes root, with or without book club.

cool

My aesthetic is too _unique_

It's a topic of Hauntology, he also brings up that alternative, independent, and "rebellious" aesthetics (stated in his own words) also just recycle the old and present it as new, because there's no room left to protest anything, there is only room to express yourself within the means of capitalist realism.

Putting money into hot topic to make yourself a hot topic.

I linked her Beach Boys

I'm waiting for her to call it boring

Which album

Pet Sounds?

Smile

if she's /mu/core she should like Beach Boys

Surf's Up, specifically

Give her Pet Sounds

she won't though

Surf's Up is literally the best track they ever did

It's better than any individual track on Pet Sounds

but Pet Sounds is the better album

What’s the slow song one

God Only Knows?

Beach Boys isn't hip enough though

all those bands are easy to digest alt stuff

Shower time

if she doesn't get the vibe that listening to them is making her alt she won't like it
