Seapunk Washes Up
This is a fascinating little peek into the life-cycle of the micro-genre.
When the idea of #seapunk was born in a dream, neither @LILINTERNET nor myself predicted the #splash heard ‘round the world. With varying degrees of amusement, amazement, and eventually eye-rolling distaste, we watched a tongue-in-cheekstyle/philosophy that defined our summer become a press tsunami. #Seapunk grew into a genre, a record label, a visual language, and a subculture, a ship steered on a very strange course by new and self-appointed captains. We have remained quiet through multiple, oddly aggressive attempts to rewrite history by those we thought were in on the joke, but our seas remain silent no longer.
