the current trend of oldies music in video parts is some of the worst, everything about it is cheap, like yeah man that oldies song sure gets me psyched to go grab my board

you must have started skating 2 months ago if you think oldies in videos is a “current trend”

fr, I remember being a kid just getting into skating years back & hating the oldies songs. Funny how I did a 180 & now love all those songs

I wanna see people get paid
Like how the actors be striking
I wanna see the skate homies
Strike. Get more money my homies
Don’t trust Jamie Thomas or
Supreme or my cousin
Stop posting everything in the phone.
But also if that’s how you get by then go for it. Life isn’t all heelflips and vacations. Don’t flex too hard. It’s fake and we all know it.

Hard to strike if you’re not in a union.   Hard to have collective bargaining if your not negotiating with all sponsors as a single entity.

Nirvana sucked.

What does it feel like to be so, so wrong? Does it itch, or like, is there a burning sensation?
Is it accompanied by fever, body aches or oily discharge?

Unpopular opinion.

I never liked Baker, thought it’s was the lowest-common denominator branding. Great skating, but lame concept, graphics, and branding (but probably because I was already over 14 when it came out).
[close]

Yeah, too old to care much about this early Baker days. I skate with some people ~10 years younger than me and there was nothing more important to them in 2001 than Baker. By that time, I had been working full time for three years and skating was mostly an afterthought.
I also agree, plenty of talented dudes on the early day’s, however the hijinx with random people who’re mentally fucked it bums me out.

It’s one thing to bully the assholes who want to be jr cop’s or Karen’s who fuck with you whilst skating.  the bum’s and stuff like that just seems like low key bum fights light.   

That’s just my opinion also I didn’t like the way their boards or deathwish are shaped.

What even is oldies these days?

Tangentially related, seeing as Hudson Hawk is dating Frank’n’Beans Cobain: Nirvana sucked.

I associate the term "oldies" with Motown (The Temptations, The Supremes, The Miracles, etc.) of the 60's and 70's along with the doo wop of the 50's. Growing up in southern California, there were several stations that played these types of songs (K-Earth 101, Kola 99.9, etc) and now those stations have all switched to playing classic rock along with 80's and 90's songs.

So the definitions of what constitutes oldies has shifted over time. With that said, I'm definitely not mad when I hear an oldies track in a skate video when its done right. But I do understand why some people would be put off by it.

Oh word. I like a lot of motown, soul, blues, funk, and some of the 50’s-70’s stuff, too. I can see both sides.

No, but there is some discolouration and a pungent vinegar-like odour. Honestly, I didn’t realize this was that unpopular of an opinion until I saw a teenager spray paint “real music died with Kurt” on a skatepark bank. But here’s something we can all agree on: with the exception of ‘immigrant song,’ Led Zeppelin also sucks.

(Art is subjective. There’s probably stuff that I live that you think is crap. There’s also likely stuff that we both agree is great, and other stuff we both think sucks.)

I’m definitely stealing poserino, that’s a good one. I would’ve said poseroni like jabroni.

Sorry, I had Soundgarden on the mind. At least I didn’t say Melissa.
