creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

This instantly took me back to Black sheep, House of pain, Gang Starr (ofc), Tribe, Pharcyde, Cypress Hill, De La, Souls of Mischief, Digable...what a time.

July and I had a little exchange about the Golden age of Hip Hop (I will not accept any opinions about the validity of this 😂 ). I'm a late Gen Xer which is clear in my reflection on the other eras and genres I've experienced.  

My new wave alternative phase (wore a lot of black and hair spray in HS), my rock period (I saw Fleetwood Mac's reunion tour, blessed), big hair and metal (it happened, I'm not proud, but it did), alternative and industrial (like sisters of mercy, Joy Division, NiN) I loved 90's grunge, (so many earrings and yes flannel in Hawaii), my long time love of house, dance, trance, and all the sub genres of electronic (was on the East Coast during the warehouse era, my summer in Ibiza is one of my favorite memories), and even a consistent love of heart wrenching emotional female vocals (tori, sarah, ebtg) ✌️ 😂 . 

The cheesy, the classics, the cringe, I've kept my love for it all, because they've been, they ARE my soundtrack.

appreciate your sacrifices and stories 🫡

Ugh, I was used to it. The 80's new wave era originated from the UK, so everything was black, sometimes wool and turtlenecks, which yes, I wore. Sacrifices were made for fashion. ✌️ 😂
