It's not a ridiculous joke, it's pomo! If you don't like it, you're just too old, maaaaan!
Great movie. Interesting guy. The Grey Gardens or R. Crumb's brother (either one) kind of interesting.
pomo mofo!

-adjective
1. The act of slouching around Silverlake or Highland Park in a plastic-mesh-backed "trucker's hat" and oversized sunglasses.
2. Standing outside a music club where a band is performing the music from 1980's video games on 16 note Casio keyboards, and remarking to anyone who will listen that their earlier work - before they went commercial - was much better.
3. Appearing to be tolerantly bemused when there is nothing vaguely bemusing within 100 yards.
4. Taking DVDs to the counter at Blockbuster and asking, "do you have these on Beta?"
5. Etc.
Alternate definition; digging things that are simply and obviously crappy on every level because you're so cool that you "get it," and besides, crap doesn't stick to you. You're too cool.

I would say,"I get it" but that could be taken the wrong way. Thank you for 'splaining.

I find the whole thing quite bemusing...
fuck. i wish i was this cool. oh, these pomo bands. It's a hard choice between Zelda rock and fake cowboy music on the weekends. but, hell, i've got fallout boy tribute bands as an alternative. I almost forgot.
Speaking of fake cowboys I just saw Midnight Cowboy a week ago. It was fairly good.

Chip Music! Ha ha ha ha ha - oh my.
I was envisioning something like nerds with $39 Casios recreating the music from video games, but this is good. At least they are making original music, just accessing the tone generators on those old games. I wanted to kill myself after hearing about 10 minutes of it, but that's neither here nor there. I'll watch the rest of that, it looks interesting. Thanks.
But yeah, using primitive sound gear has become quite pomo. A MOOG you could have bought for $100 (or someone would have paid you $100 to haul away) 15 years ago goes for ten grand now, and the old Japanese BOSS pedals sell for hundreds of bucks on eBay.
Nothing wrong with that either. I suppose that kind of circular trend in music, fashion and popular culture has become pretty predictable. I have a pile of old Japanese BOSS pedals myself, but that's just because I'm old.
A note to all you 20 year olds out there: save everything you ever own. Rent a warehouse if you have to. Don't throw anything away. In 20 years you'll make a fortune selling it to the kids that are being born today.

Watching that clip it sounds like they're just kidding like Spinal Tap. The scary thing is they are serious. omG.
