REINVENTING THE WHEEL & STEEZE

The concept of the “coolhunter” is as old. William Gibson may have been the first to coin the term with his character, Cayce Pollard, of Pattern Recognition, but I’m going to postulate that when cavemen were sittin’ around the fire, or hanging out in the godforsaken landscape dodging lions and shit, the ALPHA, was the one to watch for what to do. He had all the ladies, I’m sure, and probably had the best techniques in various tasks, ie. making fire, bringing home the kill, running away from dangerous predators, inventing the wheel, etc. This alpha was the one bringing home all the caveman steeze possible.

Of course, we can only hope that we’ve progressed since then.

Today, we get our sources of cool/uncool (surprisingly very fine line between the two) via social interaction, magazines, books, television, and the seemingly all encompassing internet. Little pockets of culture have grown and thrived on perhaps a single viral video alone.This blog is really about that. It’s about how these ephemeral cultural phenomenon’s happen, how they exist, how they’re going to affect the future, and my personal encounters with them. I don’t actually give a fuck about what most people think are cool or uncool because, let’s face it, in this neo-post-post modern (add as many neo/geo/post’s as you want) world, something one person thinks is cool is probably pretty damn lame to someone else.

This is just an investigation into the whole culture phenomenon. I’m curious and the only way I figure I could keep a consistent journal of my experiences is to believe that there are people reading this piece of shit that hopefully will become interesting at some point.

cheers,
