the relapse of 1991

"If there's a problem, yo I'll solve it, check out the hook while my dj revolves(not resolves) it."
1991...just a few years MTV has been out and dances and dance parties are the thing to do. An obsession of self expression, a next generation of working class kids who could learn nothing of self expression from their uniformed nurse mothers and their mechanics' suit fathers were going for it, our eyes were not tired from images, we had the subtlety of our communist enemies in relation to culture, but we broke their backs and so they continue with their fire red lipstick and pegged pants as we move through the subtle gray period, the natural eye shadows and Morandi.
But perhaps this relapse you predict will be so...but never back to my favorite neon sweatshirt worn inside out, this can only be for the kitsch, the rich...only the rich will risk or afford(in time, energy and funds) the french cut thai pants. We will have utility with hype:see $300.00 Uggs for example..."
