Fashion From My Perspective: Seapunk

Hello everyone,

Sorry it took so long, but here's my new Fashion From My Perspective post about Seapunk.

Source

Seapunk is a very new subculture, that origined from social network sites like Twitter and Tumblr. The subculture is still wearing training wheels, but it's already starting to gather speed. For the music, Seapunk is a funky, bass and juke like genre that uses samples from video games and other sea like movies, music, etc. Fire For Effect is a Los Angeles based Seapunk producer and loves the sound of liquid, tranquil, and ocean sounds. Another example of Seapunk music is Unicorn Kid, you can listen to one of his tracks below. It's hard to say what the first splash was; it could have been the Tropicult EP Zombelle released with fellow swimmer Myrrh Ka Ba in July. It might be the frequent postings about aquatic lifestyles that Lil' Wayne did a while back. Or maybe it's just fun to create music like this. It's very difficult to describe what Seapunk exactly is, because it's at that perfect level where the sound is still undefined, but immediately recognizable. 

 

What's so special about Seapunk is that, with the very little Seapunk music availlable due to the extremely short time span it's been around for, people began to post stuff on Tumblr and Twitter that defined the sound of Seapunk. Think a mix of aqua colours like turqoise,  plus bubbles, yin yangs and dolphines. Like the music, I find it hard to descibe the Seapunk fashion. Here are some pictures:

As you can see, the fashion matches the aqua-like vibe Seapunk has, and I think that aqua-vibe is the main thing that describes the fashion. I can't really tell what kind of clothes you should buy if you are looking for a Seapunk look, just take your inspiration from the images in this post and other Seapunk pictures on the internet, and dye your hair turqoise or blue if your parents allow you to. I hope that you've learned more about Seapunk from this post, and I really hope the subculure will continue to grow and become more defined, and maybe even mainstream. That would be pretty cool.

New Muse Album To Be 'Radically Diffrent'

In a recent interview with NME, Chris Wolstenholme hinted at a new direction for the band's 6th LP: 'It feels like it's time to do something radically different on our next album'

NME: "Muse's Chris Wolstenholme has said that the band want to do something "radically different" on their next album.

With the band currently working on the follow-up to their 2009 album 'The Resistance', the bassist told Kerrang! magazine that it felt like they were "drawing a line" under their past and were eager to embrace new ideas.

He said: [The band] feel like we are drawing a line under a certain period of what we've done in our career. It feels like it's time to move on and do something radically different.
However, he also admitted that it wasn't always easy to progress and push their sound forward, adding: "But then you could get into the studio and go back to what you're comfortable with. You get in the studio and there's a natural process and you have to see where a song will take you."

Muse's new LP will be their sixth studio album and is due to be released in late 2012. The band have not given any details on who will be acting as producer for the record as yet."

I'm so excited! How about you?

To All Killjoys Out There

Hello everyone,

As you probably know, I am a HUGE My Chemical Romance fan. Yesterday I checked the official MCR website, www.mychemicalromance.com, and found this:

"Hello Vendettas and KILLJOYS EVERYWHERE! Please re-post this and re-word however you like. In honor of KILLJOYS EVERYWHERE who have fallen to bullying and cruelty this coming Monday, December 21th is officially KILLJOY MONDAY, please wear a MCR shirt or your Killjoy gear and write 'Stop The Hate' anywhere on yourself, hand, arm, neck, etc and take a picture! This coming Monday is my Birthday, and I can think of NO BETTER WAY to celebrate it with my fellow Killjoys/MCRmy than for all of us to STAND UP AGAINST bullying, so do it for the world, and make my Birthday wishes come true in the process! Feel free to send the picture to Viva Vengeance at julie4000@msn.com."

So, dear followers and readers of my blog, I all ask you to wear your MCR shirt, or your Killjoy gear and write 'Stop The Hate' somewhere on yourself tomorrow, and stand up against bullying. Even if you're not a MCR fan, you can at least write 'Stop The Hate' on yourself somewhere. Please, as Viva Vengeance said, do it for the world. And, if you also have a blog, or Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Hyves, MySpace, anything, please spread the word!
