If this was old school in 1994.. what is it now?  Geezer school?,  Old University?  Oh thats right.. people that weren’t around to see this claim it as some kind of contemporary art period… instead of just one of the first people to put their tag on a hat and sell it at a skate shop.  Oh wait that was Stussy a decade earlier…  anyway… cool ad.. why don’t these guys advertise anymore?

    […] I really like Rob’s post the other day with the old streetwear advertising, kind of brought things back to me, back to when streetwear wasn’t called streetwear but wasn’t called anything. It’s weird to me, yes, I grew up being “that” kid throughout the 90s and you know what, it was great, I am not gonna lie to you. I was so into all of that world, the music, the skating, the being a fuck up, the comradeship etc it is difficult NOT to reminisce about it, especially as one gets older and these things are continuously playing a smaller part in your life. Without wanting to get to deep into it all, but I wonder if the kids, like the 16-22 years old today are experiencing the same things I was then? I still look back at those times and think, “fuck yeah, good times” like it all made sense, there was an underlying purpose, a goal to build a new generation / sub culture, it was genuinely counter cultural, at least for me. I wonder if the hypebeasts of today will look at their lives in 15 years and think the same? […]
