Brighton Boys


"Look! up there! It's Ty Page". No it isn't. You're just saying that to distract me from my focus on documenting yet another fine example of the Twinning thing that you seem to be executing oh so well. For me it is your dual endorsement of the slimline 70s skateboard that takes your particular take on Twinning to the next level. Two trends in one... BLAM BLAM. Twinning and Ty Page. Look out for these in 2009.

Klaxonite



Need I say much on this? Thought as much.
This guy pretty much sums up the shift towards the chav inspired, hoodie clad 'indie disco dancin diva' come 'skins' wannabe that so widly spreads their weight amongst the 'scenester' scene kids in London. You'll most probably find examples of a similar calibre dancing to 'electro' or 'grime' in the safe, all whitey dives of 'East'. Spafe. Yes, SPAFE!

Second Coming Of The Classics




This is what I've been talking about for ages. You take something away from people for long enough, and before you know it, they forget they even had any preconceived ideas of what that something was about. They start to wonder why it ever went away in the first place. In wondering why, they decide that it would be cool to 'bring it back'. Maybe said wonderer is actually too young to have been exposed to the potentially negative stereotypings previously affiliated with the aformentioned 'something'. Maybe said wonderer was 'there the first time round' and loves the idea of having their former fave 'thing' back. Reclaiming it and proudly donning it, said wonderer feels confident that all the hot air trailing the last time has blown over. It's like a re-birth. The second coming. Easter all over again. Who know's how the story will pan out this time?? I mean, who would have thought that it would be the indie boys picking up where the chavs left off??
they will go looking for it, rediscovering minus the preconceptions and negative perceptions so heavily attached to it
