  1. yep... 98 was the tipping point for skateboarding.... or THPS was really. i miss the days where we would get made fun , get shit thrown at us from passing cars, and get shit on by society in general. it made it that much more intriguing, and you knew that the kid you saw with the fucked up skate shoes loved it just as much as you. now, its like being into any other thing. its a style for people to emulate instead of a worldview.

    only thing that i like about now is i actually can get laid and skate. girls seem to like it now.

  2. I hate what's become of industrial/electronic-goth culture due to the rise of Hot Topic. I was never into it, but the music was so cool, but now seeing fat kids walk around in bondage pants and a NIN hoodie just means that they're angry at their parents and have no real talent. Back in the day, those kids would like be like computer programmers or genius writers or musicians and would form bands or groups or create the next cool-underground late 90's fad, but instead, the obese of my generation have turned it into something extremely lame and consumer-based.

    WHAT HAPPENED KUNK?

    same thing that happened with skateboarding, punk, hardcore, etc... they became "styles" and then became commodities. see, back then, if you wanted to be into that kind of shit, you had to work for it. you had to WANT to be into it. now you type it into google and its in front of you. you go to the mall and they have a store for that shit.

  3. i sometimes miss the US vs THEM-ness of those days when listening to that music meant being spit on and having only say 5 friends and getting a NIN tape (for god's sake!) was a fucking quest instead of a couple clicks to DL

    thinking about this... what were YOU doing before you could spend all day online, talking to like minded people about the most random shit than no one else cares about? do you remember a time before the pervasiveness of the internet and the culture that has sprung up out of it?

    me, i did pretty much the same shit as i do now, only in cheaper clothes. oh, i used to BUY CDS too... and sometimes have to get the local record shop to order something for me.

    of course, i never used the internet until i was out of highschool... and until 2002 i only used AOL to try to hook up with girls. sufu was the first forum i had ever come to.

    storm rider is too big for me... but it was so nice i had to pick it up. chore coat is too small.... i tried to make it work, but it doesnt. oh well.

  5. hmm.... i kind of like it, but im weary of buying from someone with negative reputation. do you have any refrences here on the forum?

    also, could you take some pictures of the waistband stitching... the hoodie looks a little off, and that is one of the sure ways of checking authenticity.
