You know what? Fuck punk. And fuck trying to be a hippie. They both take too long. Everyone under 20 needs to become a rockabilly. The hair’s a cinch, the shoes make you look tall, and unless you’re living with your granddad in Alabama, it’s actually become rebellious again.

so wide of the mark but good to stir up some healthy debate. The yanks are way off as usual confusing pyschobillies and social distortion for rockabilly which was (and will always be) stuff like Warren Smith, Charlie Feathers, Sonny Burgess and most everything after Elvis that Sun Records, Meteor and other little labels released. Rockabilly isn't a trend that'l suddenly hit the ground running cos Vice have given it the thumbs up and it's also got very little to do with middle class, art school chicks who weren't popular at school and want to get a little attention now by stripping at a Burles

Rockabilly was marginally cool in 1983 and 1953 respectively. Too early to try to call it a "comeback." I do hear that NYC fuckwads are holding cockabilly nites and actually line dancing and shit, though. Pretty pathetic.

And as for that burlesque crap, as Chad Robuckle sez:

If there was one thing in this world that was impossible to screw up, you would think it would be “chicks getting naked”. But you’d be wrong. I am speaking, of course, of burlesque. Burlesque, simply put, is what stripping would look like if it had been thought up by women.

The problem is, broads have a different idea than we do of what is sexy. And by “different” I mean “wrong” and “awful”.

mods at least have to spend endless hours digging for their fancy clothes, so it makes them culturally really valuable, cause they are
kind of walkingtalking museum-showpieces.
anyway, most retro-trends are really nerdy in a scary way. like supersquare.
most of the guys secretely gay, and the chicks ugly.

Also, they act like all nonchalant about their appearance, but spent hours perfecting their wardrobes hair and cars (and they still look like clowns). All so they can look like some lynch-happy douche from the old south. Gross.

Rockabilly is soooo 1980's. The 50's bad ass thing has been revived so many times, but it is possible to pull it off without looking like the lead singer from Lit. This young man has'nt lived long enough to do this right, so I recommend picking up James White and the Blacks, then proceed to reckless drinking and fucking for the next 3 years.
