Dunno if anyone's noticed in the last five or so years, but there's been an upsurge in a new trend of inner-city yuppie fuckwittery since uranium mining protests became uncool: Kustom Kulture. Well, that's how I think they spell it. It also allows me to make fun of their white-breadishness by using a KKK acronym.
Fuck, I am funny.
From my understanding, it's basically dressing like that untalented slag, Dita Von Teese, and pretending that dancing like a retard while stripping down to your pale flab wearing nipple-pasties is somehow not anything but fucked up by calling it "burlesque", getting 1940's wave sets, giving the estate of Coop something to worry about and getting bad prison tattoos on your arms. And trying to ingratiate yourselves on swing dancing and hot rod clubs who just want your money.
Sort of what happens if you watch Grease one too many times.
Aside from having a breathtaking lack of understanding of what burlesque actually is (think Ziegfeld's Follies) and getting the time period wrong by at least two generations (burlesque died in the 1920's when talkies started, the 1940's had Hollywood) and getting permanently inked for a short-term trend (an investment in tattoo removal clinics will be a great long term investment I reckon) and dancing like a fuckwicket, it's just fucking sad.
Seriously - the next time you see one of those fucking cuntstains in a 1950's top, and sleeve tatts - punch them in the head for Unca Notch. Not that I'm advocating violence against fuckwits...

So Unca Notch...
ReplyDeleteI wear 1950's clothing, like the cars and culture (don't like the Germanisation of words using the 'K' though, or the tatts for that matter); love Rockabilly music, and once I lose some a bit more un-wanted poundage, might even consider learning how to swing dance (it looks rather impressive). I have no problem with the likes of Dita Von Teese - in fact, I seem to recall that you once said she was a bit of alright. What's changed your mind? She looks rather impressive sans clothing...
Don't tar us all with the same brush.
Your pal,
Me.
Why do you reckon I titled it Kustom Kulture with kunting K's?
ReplyDeleteIt's not that I don't like people who like rockabilly music. And I like rockabilly music too - you can take responsibility for that.
And Dita Von Teese doesn't look too bad. She is, though, an untalented slag (anyone who would willingly insert Marilyn Manson's cock in any of their orifices gains slag-points).
Look at what's happened to Bettie Page's legacy. Or Coop images. Idiots with Ed Roth tatts have turned it into a fashion statement: they're the targets of the rant.
The fuckwickets who paid $10,000 for a clapped out XP Falcon and get a sleeve tatt of the Bettie Page squatting image and go to roller derby coz it's the hipster thing.
Not people who take it seriously and will still like it whenever the next trend takes the arsedrippings somewhere else. Y'all know me better than that.
