Please familiarize yourself with the auth movement.
SALES-BAND-AUTH
Do u ever just want to auth out in the back of a Honda Element/Nissan Cube and ride around the country in an auth buzzband?

I know what ur thinking. A ‘chill looking’ BB and an AZN bro come together 2 make a buzzband. Sounds like the Best Coast formula. But as u know, Best Coast, aka Befernee Cosentino started out as a vibey fuzzybuzzy band. However, the band took a turn for the worst, trying to go scalable-indie-stream, popping out generic ass ‘beach ballads’ made for weak ass Rookie Mag readers who wouldn’t know auth if it was bundled with record players at UrbieOutties.

But enough about Best Coast sucking/being the exact opposite of auth.

Sorta vibing to SALES. They seem pretty auth. I think they are sorta like some ‘chill girl’ and ‘chill azn bro’ who play post-folk drum machine-wave vibes. Post-xx simple waves with a folk_chill girl voice. U could probably put it on a playlist for some wannabe-auth girl (who is still Urban Outfitters-wave alt/indie).

SALES-BAND-FLORIDA
I guess they are from Orlando, FL, which seems pretty auth. I don’t think there is a ‘Brooklyn Music scene’ any more, so the auth movement is just chilling everywhere. Really gotta piece together the global auth movement, one artist at a time.

I watched some random black bro interview them. I don’t think it was very compelling content, but their web trail really isn’t ‘that deep’ / Public-relations-driven wave yet where they are like ‘filmed’ being ‘it girl of the month’ 4 NylonFader Maggyzine yet.

Do u vibe 2 ‘Lauren Morgan’ or are u into the chill dank AZN bro?
lauren-morgan-sales
Can SALES stay ‘auth’ or will the scalable indie machine consume her, make her stop wearing chill backwards MacDeMarco-wave hats?


Is that xxyyxx remix auth_step or just generic UK_bro_in_hoodie_dubby_step?

Are they ‘doomed’ to become Best Coast stream, ‘cleaning up their act’ and taking cheesy press photos meant for them to ‘scale into the mainstream’?

I feel stupid that my ‘life’s work’ was ‘a complete waste of time.’
Millions of characters on the internet
were all ‘rlly stupid’

What is the point of even ‘trying 2 vibe out’ in a cultural stream?
Culture just passes
And becomes ‘nostalgia’
and then Jimmy Fallon/Katie Perrie SuperBowlHalftime Show just ‘uses u’
to create an all-inclusive cultural reference

‘remember’ ________?

Who r all thse ppl [via social media]?
Do they realize they are just participating in an oppressive scalable medium?
Dumping their thoughts in2 a ‘monetized conversation’
where they will nvr be paid
despite getting 2 brand themselves as #shareholders & #evangelists?

No rlly? Remember when ‘that happened’?
We were there, yall!

I’m so sorrie.
My content is no longer scalable.
I will no longer be able to ‘write’ words
That ppl can share and be like
‘omg, that’s effing me! totes my brand. Btw did u hear abt this?’

I wish I knew how to better ‘monetize’ my ‘tribe’ ‘on the internet’
I could find a new medium where more ppl could ‘find me’ and ‘consume me’
then they could ‘recreate content in my voice’
bc my voice was s0oo0o ubiquitously lamestream/netstream
user-base-content

Btw. any auths out there?
I ‘get’ that HIPSTER RUNOFF was 4 consumer alt netstreamers during the blog boom. But I’m just seeing if any auths read this.

If this post gets 13 comments, I will post another auth buzzband.
