Rob was trying way too hard to make the headline cool. A direct, unsnarky headline would be, like, so squaresville.

From that 2013 NYT story: “At Vice stores the merchandise is a mix of high fashion and kitsch, including $1,000 Evisu men’s suits and women’s underpants with ‘‘I Don’t Have AIDS . . . Yet’’ in blue script on the front.”
It’s always been cool to the sort of people who find Terry Richardson cool. The revelation is not how few of them there are, so much as their nature: people who find the performance of coolness cool in its own right, or who simply can’t tell the difference.

So if Vice is uncool, what’s their opinion on a report entitled “It’s Lit: a guide to what teens think is cool” written in a ham-fisted attempt at teenspeak?

A.k.a., creepy as “cool”.

Yeah it always struck me that Vice was an old persons idea of what young people would think was cool. Boomer era semi-political agitation and drug fetishism wrapped in the late 90’s early 00’s scum bag aesthetic of moneyed urban cliques. I always wrapped them into the same category as Terry Richardson and American Apparel.
