I still got love for hacky pizza signifying. No beef with cheeseburgers, hotdogs, tacos, or ice cream cones either.

Wherever there is a popular thing that is linked to a vaguely hip demographic in the world, Whiney will be there to dissect the phenomenon to reveal its thinly veiled sheep magnet ingredients for boring inferior non-self aware people.

there's not a problem with parrotting the same signifiers over and over in lieu of having an actual personality? xp

xp did it make you nostalgic for the last time you had pizza i.e. the 1990s?

I ordered pizza last night too, actually.

Whiney have you ever heard of the page, "I fucking love science", it's on this thing called Facebook which houses a lot of teenagers and lols

i think slap bracelets were either before or after my time, i don't remember anyone being into them
― ciderpress, Friday, 30 May 2014 17:07 (ten years ago) link
Last night I took a piping hot slice and pressed it to my chest, making a pink triangular impression on my neon-green hypercolor shirt.

i got a Giant Pizza Slice once in DC but i haven't found any equivalent here in boston, was that a unique thing or is it widespread?
― ciderpress, Friday, 30 May 2014 17:10 (ten years ago) link
Those are scattered around all over. I've had a giant slice in Western Mass before. Don't know why there wouldn't be one somewhere in Boston.

not really.

yeah, you're right, anyone who put a pizza slice on their garage rock flyer doesn't have an actual personality

― clouds, Friday, 30 May 2014 20:02 (ten years ago) link
this thread is veering into "lol old asian ladies are really hipsters" territory --either disingenuous about signifiers working in context, or sad attempts to not want to feel excluded from something culturally specific, or maybe this is just clowning whiney ... the latter i understand.
― sarahell, Friday, 30 May 2014 22:52 (ten years ago) link
It's kind of hard though for pizza to signify much other than "I like pizza" unless, I guess, if you actually hate pizza.
― Philip Nunez, Friday, 30 May 2014 23:03 (ten years ago) link
you don't get how signification works, under late capitalism.
― mattresslessness, Friday, 30 May 2014 23:08 (ten years ago) link
consumer culture stuff like 'pizza' is used as a shorthand for other things, that are cultural, all the time. whether or not someone finds this annoying says more about that person than it does about the phenomenon itself.

― Philip Nunez, Friday, 30 May 2014 23:13 (ten years ago) link
i'm not particularly annoyed by it -- it's just something that at this point is a bit "hacky" -- and now a lot of the garage bands are moving to LA anyway, and some of them pay me to help them with their taxes, so it's a lot less annoying when I'm making some money off it -- speaking of late capitalism

if a good friend or family member gifted you with a hacky pizza t-shirt, what would you do, what would you think?

xps i think it's fair to say there is always some degree of cynicism in which current signifiers are used by everyone, but given that this degree is contextual and subjective, i think it says less about "youngs" or whoever than about "us" as a culture. personally, i relate to being annoyed by it but feel like pointing fingers at something "hacky" is a misapplication of the critique and ends up looking like protesting too much.

i've never figured out the ironic way to put on a t-shirt (upside-down?) so i guess sincerely
