I do like Pappalardo's writing usually but without a doubt Gifted Hater is making more incisive, more salient, more well constructed points about skateboarding than almost anyone else right now.  i don't care what format it's in, written, video whatever I am 1.5 million times more interested in what GH has to say

it's cool to occasionally see these skate twitter approved thinkpieces just absolutely shit the bed in the face of a Vlogger in a gaming chair who inserts the "bruh" sound effect every two minutes

And what in the actual fuck was this little side swipe here??? isn't the point of a substack for people to hit the subscribe button? Pappalardew is trying to monetize his opinions too -- i have no idea how he thinks he has any high horse here


EDIT:

and lastly I think I do agree with the general thrust of Tuff Tony's post here: That Tyshawn deserved it, and that it is fundamentally a subjective award that is not strictly merit based (and never has been). For thrasher to give it to the influencer who sells gaming PC's on his instagram and skates in LA Gym bro fits is just unthinkable. But Substack man's positioning against all the blowback and general distaste for any other opinion of who should have won is just really confusing

he managed to successfully weave his way through a pretty solid word count without making any kind of sense.

impressive stuff. the art metaphor was especially crap.

Just so I am clear, this Anthony Pappalardo is not the Anthony Pappalardo? This dork adopted Anthony Pappalardo as a fucking pen name?!

This guy was in Ten Yard Fight and In My Eyes and now he thinks he’s a journalist.

I knew this information but it completely escaped me. Not enough people talk about how corny all that east coast 90s straight edge hardcore was.

No wonder this dude's writing is shit, the amount of brain power in the straight edge hardcore scene makes skateboarders seem like absolute geniuses in comparison...

i made this account well over a decade ago but of all things it is actually a reference to In My Eyes of all bands. somewhere there is a video of them playing and sweet pete screams out in the middle of a song “two words… STRAIGHT FUCKING EDGE!!!” and for some reason i thought that was so funny
i don't want to link to the channel because is promotes athiesm.

Total pen name to garner clout. They should play a game of skate to TM the name in the modern era.

Straight edge hardcore was definitely at its corniest in the 90s. It became way more self aware and introspective in the 00s

you’re fried. earth crisis is a thousand times sicker than verse or have heart. if you’re gonna have a goofy rules based lifestyle you need militant music. it’s even weirder when it’s talking about feelings instead of about freeing all the animals in the zoo

those bands definitely suck and earth crisis does not but bands like blank stare or coke bust are more up my alley than either of the aforementioned

definitely going off topic but only vaguely because the moron that wrote this article started one of the bands talked about

why do so many threads on here devolve into arguments about hardcore music? cant we all just agree that hardcore music is the dorkiest of all possible scenes and get back on topic?

Skateboarding is like music. Cool to experience in a recorded medium, but never enjoyable to read about.

I don’t think one response agrees with his take.     Making something about race, when it’s clearly not.   Many straight up Nyjah haters feel he should have won.  I kinda think Thrasher degraded their own award by choosing a more contrarian pick.

I think if Nyjah wants to win something like SOTY has has to take a page outta the tried and true corny Hollywood actor/director page - like Matthew McConaughey doing True Detective, Adam Sandler doing Uncut Gems or Punchdrunk Love or similarly when a director does some Marvel films before going back to their passion projects.
If Nyjah got a stylist (lol) wore some big bois or just dressed like Ishod at least THEN put out a part with a bunch of slow mo NBD's at famous spots (as opposed to hitting stuff only he can mess with) then he could easily take out SOTY.

I don't really care either way but as an aside Leo Romero said it best years ago when he called him the villain of skateboarding wearing those black cape style long tees and everything
