More of what he showed me

ask poet

so fucking ridiculous

>>6787157
HAHAHA 0/10 nobody believes you.

i suppose spacecore is about

>utility (lots of pockets)
>synthetics (neoprene, nylon)
>relaxed silhouettes

i personally wouldn't wear it because who needs utility when you're going to class in spacecore wtf

Where to cop those y-3's, I've been looking for those for a while

>>6787534
gilt or yoox
dunno if still on yoox

>>6787546
I love you Banan

>>6787552

Shit like this?

there was a lunar-core thread a few days ago, check it out on fuuka

what's the appeal of lunar-core? i don't see it

>>6787812
What's the appeal of jolien's ugly-ass face?

>>6787820
it's not face it's hands ;(

>>6787795
w2c metallic pieces like your pic

>>6787170
hey thats me

just posted a new one in fact >>6787794

>>6787812
dunno man just looks fucking cool, and is pretty adaptable. pretty much any color palette can be spacecore, tho i'd say lunarcore is more restricted. most of it is comfortable stuff, but theres plenty of room for experimenting in the silhouette.

for me personally, i love scifi and i do kinda like that its a fairly unexplored style

>>6787875
w2c
Whats a good site to get space core type of cloths. And would camo pants work with it?

>>6787795
w2c those boots

>>6787928
these are a little diff i think
store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/special-field-boot/pid-179377/pgid-771642

>>6787898
its really all up to you man. any type of material really can work, but synthetics and tech materials can definitely play a big role. i'm not a huge fan of camo pants, maybe if it was a fairly subtle camo pattern (not so much contrast) but it really all depends on how you assemble the fit.

>>6787928

i'd recommend you guys check out the thread we had a bit ago, it was a really good one
http://fuuka.warosu.org/fa/thread/S6767140

>>6787991
i was in that thread i just didnt really like the boots the first time i saw them, it was a quality thread tho

>>6787959
thanks

>>6788070
i wasnt a huge fan of them either, but seeing them in a fit made me change my mind. don't think i'd cop tho

Was just posted in WAYWT

>>6787794

>>6788087
Just looked them up, holy shit they actually look amazing. But the only ones I could find were size 9 and below. I'm a 12

>>6788109
bummer man iktf

>>6788107
already linked it buh >>6787875
but thanks for the hype i suppose

There's a number of threads in the archive that explain and give examples.

The third: http://fuuka.warosu.org/fa/thread/S6302293

And we had one the other day and who knows how many others. But those should get you started.

>>6788384
Hey dude, everything okay? Feel like I haven't seen you in a while.

>>6788396
Yeah, life is ok. Everything has ups and downs but tonight I got to see Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Kool Herc & the Beatnuts, so I'm still high on that whole experience of all that hip hop. The crowd was so diverse! It seemed like everyone was there, from every race and age, and they were all bugging out! I feel very lucky.
Are you doing alright, anon?

>>6788445
>>6788384
yo man, how'd i do for this second fit? >>6788107

what'd you wear to the show?

>>6788445
hey poet you work in real estate right? what do you wear to your job? you don't actually meet clients in lunarcore right

>>6788445
>lifted heel
manlet detected

>>6788503
don't be retarded, it's a "ready to move" stance, "on your toes" and whatnot. you see it all the time in anime

what's the logo at 00:52?

>>6788503
he's like 6'4" idiot

>>6788503
he's over 6', look at the ladder and ceiling man

>>6788498
It's not that simple, but to answer your question, it would depend on the client and the listing.
Presence and demeanor account for a lot, too. I try to look like a human being for closings, but it's always really casual, just raws and an open, unironed shirt.

>>6788485
I think the second fit is great, looks like a more "widely acceptable" (for lack of a better term) version of your first fit that would slide under the radar in most places but still turn the right heads and set you apart from the crowd in a good way. I love the bomber and I think you should consider a closer haircut, both in keeping with the semi-militaristic roots of the style and because you look like you can work it.
I like.

I wore Pic related to the show, minus the backpack, it was dirty and crowded.

>>6788817
yeah i've been meaning to get a haircut
lookin pretty comfy dude

>>6788817
can we hang irl

>>6788445
Yo poet, what do you think of these boots? I kinda feel like the blue branding ruins them, but I do need something rugged and waterproof for winter, hiking and urbex...

Sounds like a sweet show by the way, wish shit like that would come around here more often.

>>6789474
you could always grab a seamripper, those patches look super easy to take off

>>6789479
It wouldn't compromise the leather at all?

>>6789488
there might be tiny holes in the leather, if they bug you you could sharpie it instead. if youre talking about it not being waterproof its so high up the boot that it doesnt matter at all

>>6789457
lmao u fucking beta u need 2 twerk 1st

>>6789494
Aight, might try that if I end up copping them.

The snow does get really high here by the way, so it could indeed matter in regards to the waterproofing.

>>6789504
snow isnt gonna come thru a hole that small, and if it was that high itd come over the top of your boot anyways. i dont even know if the leather section on the top is supposed to be waterproof in the first place

>>6789474
I love Palladiums. The deal with those tags is this - at least on the canvas models - they put a little dab of glue to hold the tag in place while they sew it on. It's super easy to seamrip off and the holes actually look better than the branding, imo. On the canvas models the holes more or less go away as the weave or whatever relaxes and returns to its natural shape. The leather ones will have little holes that you could either cover with this stuff they sell to cobblers and upholstery repairmen if you cared enough. Personally I think that if the suggestion of a brand where there is none shows initiative in the wearer and is only visible close up anyway. TLDR - who cares?
But then there's that little dab of glue... You'll have a slight discoloration there, but after you break in the shoe it won't matter anyway. Again I ask, who cares? They look much better this way.

>>6789457
Of course we can.

>>6789474
>Sounds like a sweet show by the way
It was an honor to see my heroes in action, and it was an anon on this site who told me about it! He's an alright dude.

Fall is right around the corner for me, might go buy some warm cargo pants and big white booties.

>tfw goofninja's be hating

>>6789504
the holes are already stitched in2 it to put the patch there in the first place... if taking the patch off compromises it, than it was already compromised w/ the patch, dum dum...
they probably just stitched it on2 a piece of leather not related to waterproof integrity.i wouldnt think 2wice abt, taking it off, theyre p sick tho. palladium r hit or miss for me

>>6789554
really like this
I have always considered debranding things and it's nice to see someone who actually had the balls to take a chance on hurting the fabric

>>6787991
>http://fuuka.warosu.org/fa/thread/S6767140
That thread was awesome.

Good lunarcore, spacecore, or any similarcore music? If you wanted to make such music, what characteristics should it have?

Also best bang for the buck lunarcore items?

>>6789522
>>6789575
Yeah, you're both right.

Just got really paranoid over last winter, was over 2 meters of snow some places last winter.
>>6789554
The glue will probably just fade away after getting them wet, can't imagine anything else.

And indeed they do look better without the branding. Surprised I haven't heard about this brand before these threads, reading the company history really makes the company and their products as a whole sound really solid.

>>6789591
Surprisingly good boot for the price, really.
I think the one-piece toe-cap design must really cut down the number of steps in the production process or something.

Debranding is a nice habit to get into. It's not for every brand, of course.
I kind of got fed up - like, I gave you my money, why am I expected to advertise for you? I make exceptions for nike because I'm a hypocrite and they seem to do it right a lot more often, but other than that it's an act of liberation, man. I need to do it more often, tbh.

They're GSU Cutaways. You can find a pair on ebay for 30 bucks or so, but you have to put in work to wear them. I still haven't pulled all the tubing out of mine and wearing them is another story.

In Neuromancer, Gibson describes a tribe of Zionist Rastafarians who live in a small orbital cluster of their own making and grow pot for fun & profit. The whole zion Cluster also pumps out sample-based music (and keep in mind this was written in 1981):

As they worked, Case gradually became aware of the music that pulsed constantly through the cluster. It was called dub, a sensuous mosaic cooked from vast libraries of digitalized pop; it was worship, Molly said, and a sense of community.

So to answer your question, I think a lot of things could fall under the field of viable, it's more about the mindset with which you consume the music, if that makes any sense.

I think the aesthetic can speak for itself without a beat-them-over-the-head mission patch

>>6792559
I definitely agree, and those patches are totally overblown, but if there's something so inconspicuous and basic out there I can use it to cover branding, like a flat grey circle? I'm buying a gross.

>>6792536
a lot of those remind me of this

>>6789577
I've done it with a pair of shoes once, it's not hard.

They were still ugly after debranding though :(

I'm new to lunarcore. Would nigel cabourn x converse work? also how does cabourn's stuff fit into lunarcore in general? I know he really leans toward military-looking stuff, and military seems to be a large part of the lunar look.

is this jacket lunarcore

>>6792968

Oh shit, I've actually got those in the really dark navy color. If you have any specific questions I can help. I'll let someone else talk about the aesthetics and stuff though.

>>6792968
yeah those definitely work.

the big thing about lunar and spacecore is that its really not set at all as for what fits into it. its all about how you set up the outfit. theres a lot of re-purposing and its all about the context you construct. a lot of military stuff can definitely support a lunar fit, but its not the only thing that fits the bill, and too much just turns it into a milspec fit.

>>6792981
1. it's a different material than regular converse, right? I thought I read that it was

2. How comfy is it

3. what's the sizing like?

4. how durable does it seem

5. how happy are you with your cop overall

6. is there anything you didn't realize about the shoes until you got them

>>6792979
'lunarcore' isn't an established thing or set of rules, its an idea/concept, so have fun with it and use it as a platform to work on your on style identity
follow your heart :)

>>6792979
sure it can be, see >>6792991

>>6792968
also i really like these personally and have been thinking about getting a pair for a while

like i said before, lunarcore has a relatively few amount of pieces that are ONLY lunarcore or designed specifically for the look. a huge part of this style is just trying different combinations of shit to see if you come out looking like an astronaut on his day off

>>6788445
w2c jacket?

>>6792997
>>6792991
I know it's not a matter of being lunarcore or not. Maybe I should have asked, "can you guys imagine this working in a lunarcore fit?"

For example, I can sort of see these New Balances being lunarcore. But If everyone else just can't see it, I'd have to really believe that I could do it. And if someone else pointed out something about them that I didn't see, it could change my opinion.

>>6792993

1. It's made from a water resistant fabric that was supposedly used in RAF flight suits and gives you superpowers, blah blah. Practically it's water resistant enough for when it starts raining but I wouldn't trust it to jump in puddles or on long hikes.

2. At least as comfy as regular converses. The insole thing might be better but it's been a long time since I had the regular ones so can't compare.

3. Same as regular Converse sizing so size down one.

4. Haven't worn them much so no comment.

5. My advice is, if you buy them expecting regular Converse functionality and you like the style then you'll be happy. I wanted a heavy duty thing for lots of walking and weekend hiking and these aren't really good for that so I'm getting full blown boots, but if you've got more realistic expectations I'd recommend them.

>>6793043
lol retrotech would p. muh make all the ugly NB colours usable

someone jump on that

>>6793063

seriously though they don't look awful to me but I prefer simpler trainers

there's those nike vintage killshot / vortex or something that I think really fit the look in certain colors

I've never bought converse so I guess I wouldn't know

just get both?

>>6794544
Ideally you want to have basics in one or more of the following, and keep in mind this is just my opinion:
Black
Grey or Heathered
White
Blue, Navy or Dark
Taupe
Olive

It's all about how you use them. I think there's a lot of freedom to play with muted colors here. Eventually I hope to cop some Buzz Rickson tees for my basics. Unf.

>>6787157
If you're new to fashion, don't jump into a certain style so quick. Learn the fucking basics first before you make such a big jump

What are some not so extreme lunarcore footwear? Like something that is already common (or just not obviously irregular) that could fit into an otherwise lunarcore outfit.

i've been drawing astronauts instead of robots lately because of dese threads

Can we get some more discussion on the ideas/ideals running through this style? We had some of it back around the music discussion.

>>6796527
you're welcome to start haha.
anything in mind?

i like how this style seems more abstract, in that the actual aesthetic varies so widely and is so adaptable. a lot of other styles are much more restrictive in color, silhouette, fit of clothes. i also think the style can be extremely subtle and toned down but still very identifiable

>>6796534
>i like how this style seems more abstract, in that the actual aesthetic varies so widely and is so adaptable. a lot of other styles are much more restrictive in color, silhouette, fit of clothes. i also think the style can be extremely subtle and toned down but still very identifiable

Well, isn't all that just a natural consequence of effectively trying to imagine fits from the society of the, as poet's said, "forgotten future?" It would have pilots and mechanics, artists and executives, teachers, construction workers, architects, doctors, orbiters, the first wave of Martian colonists, and even maybe a few hundred plebs *still* stuck in Idaho supervising robots assembling nanoscopic sprockets...

I was sort of trying to get other people to start because I'm not really the one to be explicating it: I'm an admirer and sometimes miner of the style, not a practitioner. But it seems to me, and this is riffing off that "forgotten futures" notion about as much as the outfits themselves, to be at once an elegy for the never-lost world dreamed of and really hoped for fifty years ago and a practical mechanism for dealing with the shortcomings of our world as it actually exists. Not just that every fit and most of the separate pieces posted seems eminently practical, techwear par excellence if personal climate control isn't an obsession.

>>6796832
But like this: It's not cyberpunk, because our world isn't punk at all. Compared to either punk or contemporary fashion there's so little black and prints and almost no rage. But the social conditions cyberpunk talked about are bracingly familiar, and you pick up a lot of the same vibe: the downcastness, the marvelous shoddiness, the dreariness, the sense of spunk and personal potency rubbing up against its ultimate irrelevance.

It's telling that, out of that whole social palette, the fits that get posted seem to be for the people with the interesting jobs with little social power: no uniforms for the commander/mayor/CEO/Chief Social Manager of the space station, but for the pilots, engineers, whatever it was that cool T.O.S.S.E.R. acronym poet had for a fit stood for. Also no imagination of what the idle elite wear, or what the people with the truly menial jobs watching robots in Idaho wear.

And none of them are dressed like they are on the Jetsons or on Star Trek. There's no celebration or sense that they're partaking in a grand venture both humanly and materially abundant. They don't seem like heroes - cool, interesting, decent people, absolutely, but ones who could be a hero in their life as rarely as people today. Maybe rarer.

I don't know; I could be completely off-base and a lot of that sounds way more definitive than I mean it to sound.

What do you guys think about the designs for clothing and armor in Mass Effect?

>>6796534

its not very abstract at all, nor is it less restrictive

its pretty much a literal translation of all the inspo that gets posted around here

>>6796832
That's a very interesting take, and it fits with Hebdige's notion of subcultural style - that it's a means of resolving internal disparities with the world at large. Specifically, that this can serve as an elegy for a forgotten future and a practical mechanism for the one we live in.

Bumping so I can think about this some more while I run errands.

>>6796838
yeah, i also enjoy the more humble parts of this style, we are just dressing like what we think the normal people of the (actual) space age would dress like.

obviously when it first kicks off, it will only be the rich in space, in their shiny spaceships; but a generation or two later and the middle working class and poor will be filling the shuttles to go offworld, mining asteroids and doing the scientist's gruntwork for surveying and exploration, working in the engines of the upper class's ships, piloting freighters...

>>6798458
I always thought it'd be a combination of rich and middle class organizations/groups would decide to invest in at least attempting to make use of the moon, lunar gravity and earth gravity for space stations and modules. But I agree I like the casual yet functional style that any space or non-space bound person could wear in such a time

>>6798642
well i definitely think middle class would be a part of the first public expeditions but i think early space craft will be small and expensive thus limited to the highest bidders

poet you should cop these jawns

>>6798836
Fuuuuuuu-
Wow, I should. I will. I can't wait to pay through the roof on resale for those.

>>6798642
Schismatrix Plus goes into this, what happens when most of humanity is casually living in space and government becomes a really diffuse and flexible concept. A single ship can become a nation-state at this point.
This book actually kind of got through to me that you want pockets everywhere on your body because bags are impractical and you're using your entire body in zero-g; hands and feet become interchangeable after a while. It's not stated directly but a lengthy passage on Zero-G CQC and various clothing descriptions left me with this distinct impression.
I think a good emotion to work with when composing a fit is "Exhaustion" (although not necessary by any means). Anon mentioned the way the look elegizes without celebrating - I think that's important. Maybe these operators aren't heroes in the same sense as today's astronauts, but I feel like they're often overworked, stressed to their limits and somehow managing to carry on regardless. There's a casual heroism to it, these people have gotten over the majesty of it all, they're simply carrying on sometimes and their clothing can show it to great effect.
This is why I've gone for heavily distressed pieces like the bomber jacket in >>6788384

I love it when Americans in space wear Hawaiian shirts.

>>6799399
They're still in full stock on the webstore? Hypebeast don't like pants like that.

>>6799547
Holy shit, you just kind of turned me on to lunarcore.

Basically, space workwear, right?

What if I buy a bunch of spiffy new lunar-y type shit and abuse it thoroughly by just working really hard in it? I work two physical-ass jobs alongside my main job, one in the summer and one in the winter.

>>6802471
>space workwear
seeing as he gets a lot of inspo from work crews in space prolly lol

>>6802483
But aside from movies, do we have any actual burned-out space work crews to draw inspiration from? The pics I've seen of real-life NASA peeps up there, they look pretty clean and collected.

new facetasm cargos are pretty sick

overpriced tho

>>6802493
they're all superhuman supergeniuses though
pinnacles of human achievement

>>6802493
real life space work crews don't get burned out because
>>6802514

hnng etc.

If lunarcore is space workwear,

what would space streetwear look like

>>6802554
who gives a shit? i'm waiting for spaceninja

>>6802499
Wish they were darker

>>6802554
>>6802576
once winter comes and i can layer more i hope to let you find out :3

also i wouldnt really restrict lunarcore to 'workwear'. actually, i might restrict lunarcore to that, but not spacecore. have we refined these terms at all? i feel like lunarcore is a subset of spacecore. whatever.

>>6802554
Probably more gothninja like in some aspects, a little more roughness, less emphasis on functional stuff and less practically (its focused on looks), casual, umm

How do you guys picture space parties? What kind of music is played? Does party attire change a lot from usual lunarcore or more formal high class lunarcore? Is formal high class lunarcore a thing yet?

>>6802554
thats the level after nxtlvl

>>6802493
If you read their personal accounts, the training and mission schedules are just insane. They put out a lot of great publicity shots but these men & women are pushed to their limits and back again. There's a casual strength.

>>6802471
I don't think there's a wrong way to do this as we're all feeling it out, so I'm gonna say yes, but I do think you need to be careful - you want to try and mash up the old and new, and keep in mind that techwear is not a new concept. Even in 1950 there was an equivalent for techwear. Maybe it was a specialized hunting jacket or a forward thinking pair of boots designed for explorers, but the way those garments grasped at the future is different than the way similarly marketed things do today. The reason why I put a lot of Prps in these fits is because they routinely do pieces that exemplify this idea of a really weird jacket that's been rotting away in a barn or an attic for 40 years. The look translates well to "Lunarcore" because it's vague enough for the other techy garments in the fit to change the meaning of what is essentially a heritage repro (in the case of Prps).
So where the real magic happens is when your fit plays with semiotics and symbols and maybe helps turn that oddly shaped hood into a space helmet for one second, or maybe the straps on your hightops suddenly become imbued with new importance. You feel me?

>>6802730
It's just an individual style choice, not much more. I think that if it wants to live for a while it needs to resist being formalized or shat out in some neatly encapsulated little bubble.
When the boundaries of something are fully defined, it ceases to be as interesting, so maybe it's best to keep the boundaries nebulous?

>>6802769
Are you the first person to come up with lunarcore? When did this first start? Is there any music that you feel you can identify as "lunarcore"? I think lunarcore is going to become more popular.

>>6802783
>I think lunarcore is going to become more popular.
Not if people keep talking about it like this.

I guess I would just like to see the people contributing continue to post things relevant to their interests at their own pace without the constant pestering of excitable newcomers determined to catch the wave before it breaks.

I'm pretty sure it basically started as a tongue-in-cheek title for an aesthetic that reflected sincere interests. Like twerk it's pastoral nomad-core except with real original content behind it.

>>6802779
>nebulous
hoho, poet, yooouuuu

>>6802730
right now im thinking about the cantina scene in star wars a new hope. a true lunarcore party'd probly just be like fifteen people (the crew of a ship or lunar/asteroid outpost) chilling together with drinks and all kinds of space drugs. did you ever notice the hookas in the cantina scene?

>>6802783
>I see that there are some certain things I can like to fit in with this title you've created. What other things can I start liking to more appropriately suit this adjective?

>>6802811
is there a problem with that?

>>6802783
I don't know. probably not, but I don't think it's ever really been crystallized before in open discussion like this. Knoch does the occasional future fit but I think he's on a different wavelength. We're actually planning and doing something very specialized, as a group, over time.
To maybe further answer your question, I started getting really interested in 1970's space exploration maybe a decade ago. I stumbled across images of it in college after a series of dreams I had about the SkyLab project.
I was only really competent in music at the time, so I tried to capture it with samplers and synths and I was successful to a degree, but the important thing was that I was hammering out an... aesthetic of some sort? Even if only in sound.
So maybe I'm totally contradicting what I just said in >>6802779, but I still think it's difficult to really draw a bead on something like this just yet, even though we can fumble around in the dark and write songs or whatever, all we have now is a skeleton, a slipform, and we need to pour in more fits until things crystallize a bit more.
I think the first fits have all been pretty great, and they seem to have been accepted by the community, apart from the cries of "autism" that we all expected anyway. I just want to see more.
Turns out my light grey Julius gasmask cargos have been sitting in the post office for a week, I never knew, so assuming I can get a hold of them I'll probably have two or three decent new fits to throw on the pile very soon.

>>6802835
poet have you ever read the book zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance? its a pretty solid book. i just bring it up because your writing (speech?) style reminds me of that guy's prose

>>6802835
Thanks for answering. I'm very interested in seeing how this will all play out because this is something I can be a part of and create a difference in.

>>6802859
>something I can be a part of and create a difference in.
Exactly! That's what I find so exciting about this. It's us doing it.

>>6802858
Yes, I'm definitely a fan. Thank you, I take that as hefty praise. I love the way he explains things.

brb

>>6802867
yeah he has just enough of the 'artist' part to be able to make his more ordered 'scientific' side read in a more interesting way.

now that i think about it more, lunarcore has that aspect of being hard to describe and establish rules for, but given an example, its immediately recognizable, which is a big focus of the book

>>6798836

In regards to this, how do belts fit in the space core profile? I'm a 29 waist and the smallest they go are a 30.

If not, are there any cargo/flight pants that do 28 waist?

>>6802886
Oh, hell yeah! People have been asking me to define it for a while and I usually end up with that famous judge's definition porn - "You'll know it when you see it."
I remember when I was thinking about all the different garments I tracked down for the first 3 major threads, and I was really racking my brain for all the word associations I could, then punching those words into google, shopstyle, etc. Certain things are obvious - Pilot, flight, bomber, space, etc. But then I started finding nautically oriented garments that worked with it, old running shoes and repro hunting jackets that just somehow... worked. I noticed common threads, things like sectional padding, nylon, quilting, webbing, zippers, prominent metal hardware, utilitarian colors like olive, taupe, orange and of course silver and white.
Take the vest in pic related. Styled nautically, clearly a nautical garment with front closures that harken to the things you see on rigging. It's techwear, in a way, just an older, different tech. As an anon recently said here, seafaring and spacefaring share a lot of tropes and emotional values for very obvious reasons. So pic related is easy to swap into some next-level circumlunar orbital stuff by maybe contrasting it against a much more modern white tech jacket, with green flight pants and dirtied white boots.

I've gone off for a while here, but I want to leave it on the reminder that the whole style is designed to be open ended. Subtle re-imagining of all sorts of modern workwear and techwear can go a long way.

>>6802940
Prps.
And a lot of military pants adjust down a size or two anyway so they don't have to issue new uniforms when people drop a few pants sizes after marching or flying or fighting for days on end..

>>6803001
I like this post.

>>6803001
definitely. i keep trying to explain it too, and you basically just say "make yourself look like a space person." i need to look at more clothing pieces i think.

i'm working on an astronaut painting right now, it'll be in a thread one of these days but for now i'm going to bed.

>>6802554
I was thinking something like Back to the Future II, except toned down a bit. Hypercolour t-shirts, holographic prints, technicolour...hmm. Maybe I'm thinking too retro but

>>6796454
Oh wow, I just saw this post.
Noice. And they're great kicks.

>>6801666
I think the combination of homegrown cultural artifacts and high technology is very endearing. It's one way we humanize our technology.

>>6802940
You (or anyone else who likes the pants in >>6788384 but feels the white is too much) should check these out. They were just recently released in this colorway and sell for $145, but the white ones can be had for like 60 bucks now.

I don't really think long hair works with this style, or am I mistaken?

>>6803889
it will if it's greasy enough
could make it cohesive if you tied it up also, no grease required

>>6803893
Yeah I was afraid that it needed a little grease. Am growing it out now in a way that I can tie it up without loose strands popping out at the moment though. I ask because lunarcore seems like a nice sideproject for me, and not as a full on lifestyle choice.

Agreed. I think it adds to the burnt-out look as well. Those shirts don't typically get dirty, wrinkled, or really lived-in -- they're for "vacation."

Poet, could you tell us about your urban exploration, and the best way to start doing it?

>>6804717
I don't want to encourage that sort of thing.
I was young and drunk one night and I was sick of waiting for the subway, so I walked off the edge of the platform and found another place.
I'd seen it from the windows of trains before as a child and was always fascinated by the underground so I suppose it was only a matter of time.

>>6804914
Not the other guy but: this doesn't feel like a full post, am I misreading?

>>6804914
like it doesnt have to be exploration of underground places also

if there is stuff where you do it above ground in buildings and stuff, that would be even more welcome

>>6805090
Gotta get back to work soon.
>>6805104
let me think on it.

>>6805104
There's an abandoned airfield near an Indian reservation where I live. A guard is stationed there for some reason. The one time I tried to sneak into it in the middle of the night, I had to keep ducking into a ditch while maintenance and security trucks from a nearby Intel manufacturing plant drove by.

Anyway, I didn't get anywhere and decided that one trespassing conviction was enough for me and Injun judicial systems were too risky.

>>6805168
damn that sounds fun

I kind of just want to go downtown where I live, which isnt that big, and just go into buildings and shit and walk around

>>6805108

>>6804914
I always thought by "urban exploration" you meant exploring your neighborhood or shit like that. That's what I've started to and I'm enjoying it.

Space core?

Is this for real or an elaborate troll thread?

Ninjas where one thing, but now this?

Guys, you do realize you are pretty much the laughing stock for 99% of the population?

I mean, why not just stick to classics. Dadcore, smart casual, casual, etc...work on quality pieces and good fits. Forget these edgy space BS

what are some designers that do ''lunarcore'' ? i feel like i just scrolled through the majority of big clothing websites and i had some real trouble finding theme appropriate jackets and pants. prps seems to have some stuff though.

i dont get it, do you just dress like an 80s sci fi film?

Sorry, but this spacecore thing is getting out of hand. It's like sci fi nerds came together and want to act out their movies in real life, trying to pass it off as "fashion". No, it's not cool, nobody in the normal world thinks it's cool and it won't get you laid.

I don't post bait, I posted solid arguments that nobody cares to refute, because you faggits know I'm right.

>>6805810
Google images. It helps me to take a pad and write down twenty adjectives of gradually increasing specificity to help me narrow down my themes.
Write down the names of any artists you discover along the way, as well as any new words that come to you.

Example:

comics
pulp
sixties
strange (or other popular comic adjectives from the time, like Weird, Creepy, Death, Crime, etc)
cover (knowing that the best works are reserved for covers and sites usually list cover scans)

....and so on.

>>6805835
poet what are your favourite video games?

>>6805861
Too many to list, but I was ungodly good at DOOM and QUAKE back during the birth of pro gaming as we know it. I was in a really early quake clan, I wish i'd followed that thread but I didn't. I have a friend who did, and ended up playing unreal professionally at 18 and actually making money.

Favs right now are Silent Hill 2 & the Dead Space series, but tbh I really don't get interested by gaming anymore. It's really sad actually. There's just so much more in the world and it feels like there's not enough time to be consuming games. I'd honestly rather be talking to you guys if I'm on downtime.

>>6805889

Check it out if only for the costuming and design!
Especially in the later games, DS really does beat-up tech fits and worn out machinery quite well.

The soundtrack is also really top notch. Not the garbage they play at the end, but the ambient atmospheric music. Some of it's good enough to have on your home stereo for chill sessions.

>>6805918
