Note the average age of these cats: looks like 35-40. I’ve been told the rockabilly thing in late 90’s Japan was as big as Affliction t-shirts, big watches and fake tans. Total guido shit. These guys look great, no doubt, but they’re still hanging around the same park re-living a bygone era that was itself a rehash of a bygone era. That’s all I got.

if you’re so convinced you’re of a superior race then why do you feel the need to write about it? if it’s common knowledge then everyone should know already.

Wait... There’s a movie called "Loveless" and a movie called "My Bloody Valentine" but neither are about the band. That’s fucked up.

Hey, someone that knows what they’re talking about! I could not agree more. Everyone’s a damn critic these days but no ones does anything. Do something impressive and then maybe your opinion will have some meaning behind it.

these photos are BAD. they are not good. other than the portrait of the girl, these are the exact pictures every photo pigeon in yoyogi park will walk away with on any given afternoon.

the photog didn’t even have the balls to get the subject’s attention. weak.
