Hi Veevs, I can't post at Street Carnage anymore. You know what? Cool people over 26 need their own scene, because we have been cool for a lot longer and people who have only been cool for a few years are only going to annoy us. This means over 26 bars, dance clubs, etc... where younger cool people have to make fake ids to get in :)

Awww, they're just high school kids, they don't know any better, AND they're from LA! So what if the stuff they think is cool was cool in NYC 10 years ago, and we've since moved on from T4's to G10's and Black Flag shirts to Native American inspired dreamcater motifs, judging by the people I meet in LA these girls might actually be the coolest people there (except of course you Veevers).

Burnsy, I love me some teenagers. I just don't understand why Vice picked these cookie cutter girls to dish basics when there are so many more INTERESTING things that kids are into right now. I just want to know about things I don't know about yet and I get a lot of that from my teen pals. I'm not mad at those girls. I'm mad at Vice for not sourcing better material!

I'm not really mad at all.

I'm 32 and my ovaries are drying up- technically these could be my kids, had I spawned some when I was 15 wearing Cross-colors and TLC suspenders, listening to Jesus Jones and doing dance routines to C+C music factory..

NERRRRRDD

At least they're not listening to Gonad Brothers and Miley Cirhossis.

I'll even sell them my yashica for $250 - DOYE!!!!

Maybe even my Billy Corgan booger sample from his ice cream truck....

how bout the rest of us young bloodz that have been feeling said "cool" grody steez since everyone ditched kroq for power 106 and or/ indie 103(covering all angles), skateboards to form uber bands, vans for nikes then back to vans agin?
Going out these days and knowing the hep community embraces/scrutinizes every aspect of your 10 year old wardrobe blows chunks.
I mean, I'm not gonna lie at least it makes life more interesting.
