I just wanna shout give it to me!
But with bicycle snobbery, I dont understand
i have been losing weight for sure. i dont really exercise much otherwise, so it makes a big difference going from nothing to something, whatever the something is. lifting weights is so mind numbing to me, i want to throw them through a window after 5 minutes. thankfully i found a mens league to play in nearby and i will be playing at the start of next season.
in terms of what youre saying about vinyl, there are many parallels you will see like this across subcultures. the closest thing i can compare to is sneaker collecting. over the past few years, nike has taken into account the incredible demand for sneakers that were released anywhere from the early to mid eighties to the late nineties. as such, they have been re-releasing many of them.
for example, in celebration of the 23rd edition of the jordan sneaker line, nike has been releasing all the previous models from the last 23 designs. people go nuts over this ****, and the sneaker collecting obsession has blown up over recent years.
so you have the same god damn shoe, almost to the t, one released in 87 one released in 08, and one is worth 600 and the other is worth 200 because of rarity, and the fact that one is the "original" and one is the "re-release" blah blah, fine i get that, its like buying an original work of art versus a print or poster i guess. but what kills me is the people will the ones from 87 think the people with the ones from 08 are poseurs cuz they havent been collecting sneakers for 20+ years. gimme a break. some of these kids collecting now werent alive when the original sneaker was released.
its all the same BS everywhere you go.
like anything else, you just be yourself and do what you love and **** the haters. **** em!
by the way, if any of you are unfamiliar with the sneaker collecting obession, take a gander at
www.flightclubny.com its a consignment sneaker store, meaning the shop doesnt actually own anything it sells, its just a broker for deals between buyers and sellers, taking a nice cut off the top. some of the nikes in there run as much as $5000! GTFO. but, in their defense, some of that stuff truly is art. game recognize game.
