The long canon of “alternative” lifestyles persists. Vibe expatriates. Downtown-core-core. Group chat as supergroup. Post-finpunk. Coffee & cig. Nicely tailored or altered clothing. Chelsea Hotel-core. Siestas. The Sun Also Rises is my fav book-core. Somewhere between Dada and vaporwave but still grunge. Digital folk art and hypermodern poetry. Making your living as a neo-cypherpunk bohemian post-dilettante freelancer.

grab a corner table at your local cafe, order black coffee and brown toast with a side of olive oil, and read some roberto bolaño.

I know I’m sooo late to this (Im not a coffee drinker!)- I recently started being a coffee shop regular. It’s enlightening to have a place to chat, run into friends, read, and try new drinks. Sometimes these things feel limited to only alcohol-centric spaces and it’s great to have a spot to unwind after work each day. Chai lattes forever and always ❤️

There’s something more savory about snapping the book shut and you’re surrounded by the superior ~Reading Environment~ engulfed by perfectly muffled coffee shop music and the sound of beans grinding and milk frothing

Building lore is crucial in this day and age. Sometimes not getting your picture taken at the function is ok. Refrain from posting banalities on your story when possible. Exercise deconstructive maximalism. Being an artist rather than an “Artist” is back, if you catch my drift.

Yes it’s true, I’m a Star Wars Prequels sympathizer. Cry about it. You are a midwit or probably too old to get it if you hate on them. Natalie Portman is great in them, and Hayden Christensen is not a bad actor, Anakin just has aspergers. I don’t cosign the Disney stuff.

Scott is an old friend from school. We bonded over Radiohead, Debussy, and making detail-oriented architectural rock music during the Spotify “bedroom pop” era. Scott is the type of musician who makes music constantly and releases it sporadically. He’s one of my favorite songwriters and an expert texturalist. Check out his single “No Changes,” the “Shelter Island Heights” EP, which I consider the classic era of his early work, or “One of a Kind,” my personal favorite.
