I genuinely wanted the Regret deck/tee but didn't even try. It really doesn't matter what the context of this stuff is anymore everyone is going to buy it for resale. A year or two ago this would have been an easy pickup, similar in hype/sellout times to the Daniel Johnston stuff. Captcha WILL NOT EVER stop bots and will absolutely make manual checkout times slower.
I'm in the process of selling off all my Supreme that isn't heather grey tees and bags, and I'm gonna do my best to keep it that way once it's gone. I did buy a few things (bag/tee/key knife for bf) from the first drop this season, but especially after last year I'm kind of not into this anymore I think? I feel like the " " " brand image " " " of Supreme has been very nebulous for years and has intersected w/ a lot of subcultures and made sense in a lot of contexts and that was probably one of the biggest selling points of the brand, but now I can't help but picture the frat boy idiots that are tastemakers or whatever on youtube/instagram who are buying six of everything and I don't want someone to look at me and see my jacket or whatever and immediately associate me with that?
Like it's crazy to me that a company that made shirts with Divine's face on them and all this Burroughs shit is now coveted primarily by dudes who say faggot a lot and it makes me SO UNCOMFORTABLE to have to entertain a conversation with those dudes when they say my bag/shirt is nice or whatever. I mean you could make that argument about most of the big dumb thing that is called streetwear but I'm just kind of in my feelings because a thing I like is kind of becoming hard to defend/justify.
Mike Hill is an amazing artist and I hope he gets more attention from this and I hope there's a vintage Alien revival. Sorry this has been a lot of rambling. Namaste.
