Don’t ‘Thread’ on Me
People seem to think we’re in a depression. At least, they sure are dressing like it!
I’m not saying it’s a crime to shop at thrift stores or buy a nice three pack of v-necks at Marshall’s (or I’d be guilty myself), but youth these days are all clad like they hail from the 1930’s.
Brother, can you spare a dime to shave that silly ass beard?
Trust me, I understand and sympathize with the weird nostalgia and symbolism embodied in the emergence of Depression-era chic. But come on, the 1930’s were so 2009. If we want to pull ourselves out of this slump, we better start acting like another generation… and I have just the idea!
Can you guess which one I mean? No?
Let’s review the facts: Organic foodists, vegans, and raw vegans are more vocal than ever about growing their own food. But, if you’ve guessed the 1960’s, you’re off by a few centuries. Unless you are currently touring with a bluegrass band.
One more clue, then: Many techno and house musicians have re-introduced the violin and other classical instruments into their repertoire. I’m sorry rock is dead, so throw paper or scissors. While I’m not referring to the era of Beethoven and Lizst, you are certainly getting much warmer.
Okay, you get one more hint: Lately people have been very vocal about taxes/healthcare/not having enough of a say in their government–
PEOPLE BRING LOADED WEAPONS TO THINGS CALLED TEA PARTY RALLIES.
Good god, the 1770’s are so hot right now! Even the far-left and the far-right agree:
Always be mindful of the central government; their redcoats go beautifully with the Communist Manifestos they keep tucked under their arms.
So what are you waiting for? Trade in those skinny jeans for knickers, powder those wigs, and if you’re inclined to bitch about the way things are, then start dressing like George Washington over Herbert Hoover. At the very least, your new wardrobe will make your accompanying political rants far more entertaining.
And remember kids: Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their dyes.

Mind the ladies!!!
LMFAO. haha ! By the looks of it you are a true revolutionary yourself Mr. Joramelon. I’ll be sure to look under your jacket (though I’m pretty sure you don’t wear red) cause you most definitely can’t borrow my tattered copy of the Communist Manifesto (which I keep for purely intellectual and non-implementational purposes). You may be expecting a box of black velvet ribbons on your doorstep soon, but I do plead w you to wait a while before you start tucking your ruched muslin pants inside your socks. Again.
ps. I love that you had to sacrifice the mustache for the beard. I guess that would be been slightly problematic. Way to yield to bureaucracy you hypocritical journalist
The NY Times Style Magazine seems to agree http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/16/the-2-0-report-williamsburg-is-the-new-williamsburg/
