Hardgoods 23/24

ahh, i had seen an ad for those earlier this week too and couldn’t remember who had made it. looks like they might have had the first one in 2020/21.

i’ve been trying to give Information Garage the benefit of the doubt of actually making new things instead of just chasing an early 2000’s fashion wave, but this reveal that Flowers is just using off the shelf shapes is probably gonna be the nail in the coffin. especially seeing that they’re charging $650 for these boards .

i kept telling the Evol team we could be making more money off the decks than the $300 we were selling them for, but that’s maybe a few steps too far.

Whats the name being used to the trend aesthetic in boarding with the flames and grease money / race car / etc. look to it.

I recall hearing someone call it something, but I don't even know what to google

[coleslawed]

i believe it’s “nostalgia”

jk, idk if i’ve ever heard a name for that vibe.

Nascore? Mulletvibe? Speedsteeze?

I tried my google-fu and came up with Motorcore.

That must be it. It brings up pics of people that wouldn't be caught dead with dirty hands wearing leather racing jackets.

What the actual fuck. I really hate this planet somedays.

Motocore... ha.

Not to be confused with Corecore... which is another "real" thing.

It seems to me that in some sense we're 'though the looking glass' with culture and trends. and maybe everything.

truly nothing is new under the sun.
