I'm not in the same music crit circles so the only people I've seen posting about this are ILXors.

This thing kind of reminds me of a list of top people under 30 who are changing the media. Most of them are people who've made it big on twitter or youtube doing fairly tried and tested stuff like cookery shows or humorous vine vids, but with an entrepreneurial 'twist'. And that twist is they're all able to market their personalities through social media. Part celebrities, part web moguls, part PR merchants, they've all got their own shtick to wield and they're all doing well out of it. Made me wonder how much I had ever been told to 'sell myself' growing up. The idea was something I had to learn slowly, especially by the time I had to do job interviews. But it never felt like something I ought to do naturally. I wonder if, especially for millenials, this is all becoming just a part of success; developing an online persona as a kind of amplification of oneself in order to get noticed. I can imagine a time in the not so distant future when the internet is full of 'branded personalities' trying to get noticed. Guess this kind of thing has been happening on ilx since it began - the louder, more controversial, funnier posters and their respective sockpuppets commanding the most attention from the rest of the board.

a non-ILX person posted it on my fb. i looked at it and then came here to see how bad you fucktards were gonna be crying about it. Real music writing is mad boring and i would never even click on any let alone read some, but if you have a clownish gimmick tumblr i will definitely read a page or two of it.,.. hope that was helpful

Ikea seems a weird signifier to pick out - everyone I know has Ikea stuff - but maybe it's different in the US?
― robocop ELF (seandalai), Thursday, 20 March 2014 01:35 (ten years ago) link
everyone in the US has ikea furniture too
― Mordy , Thursday, 20 March 2014 01:37 (ten years ago) link
you have to have a car to get to IKEA tho

uh…j. and s. clover: I thought my questions were relevant to an extensive discussion taking place and posted them as such… jesus christ, rock critics are so fucking defensive and thin-skinned…

no offense but you came onto a message board basically saying "I'm posing this question to one person and one person only"

this is completely wrong. ikea furniture exists inside major urban centers, but the majority of the country has no ikea stores. the nearest ikea to me is a ~4 hour drive, and the second-closest is 5.5 hours, and I live in an area of about a half-million people. so people have ikea things, but they have either made a trek to get it (which could be a signifier) or they have moved from somewhere with it (signifier)

dang treeship just made a salient point, I think
or possibly a prurient point

naw! not part of the inner circle here (which has its own biases and byways, which y'all should acknowledge if you have any balls) but I've been here for 8 years!
tell me what is wrong with saying that whatshername's shit is dumb! if I was wading into the weeds about a subject that I had no prior knowledge in the computer world, I would strive very very hard to try to say something that was illuminating re: my own impressions and how it would impact upon the wider world.

if i meet one i'll keep it in mind.
(there are two ikeas around me. i got to one without a car once and walked around a while. we ended up buying some meatballs, some fuzzy slippers, and some spatulas. also the fish roe in a metal tube. that stuff is great. the other ikea you really do need a car to get to. you can also order some but not all ikea stuff on the internet. it comes flat! the sofas maybe not so flat, i dunno.)
― eric banana (s.clover), Thursday, 20 March 2014 02:25 (ten years ago) link
we have an Ikea sofa it is excellent
― robocop ELF (seandalai), Thursday, 20 March 2014 02:27 (ten years ago) link
Pretty sure that Ikea deliver so why would you need to drive there? (unless of course you really need their meatballs)
― tsrobodo, Thursday, 20 March 2014 02:29 (ten years ago) link
is that a good startup? ikea meatball delivery?
― eric banana (s.clover), Thursday, 20 March 2014 02:30 (ten years ago) link
if it is, you can't have it i thought of it first

"tell us more"… that's some memespeak, straight out of willy wonka with his hand on his chin… use your own verbiage…jesus be original!
― veronica moser, Thursday, 20 March 2014 02:31 (ten years ago) link
xp
What as in actually driving to Ikea to buy their meatballs and then delivering them to people?
Would that be legal?
― tsrobodo, Thursday, 20 March 2014 02:32 (ten years ago) link
i love ikea

Sorry, the website www.meatbal.ls cannot be found.
― robocop ELF (seandalai), Thursday, 20 March 2014 02:32 (ten years ago) link
aww :(
It is not possible to register a new second-level domain in .ls. New registrations are only taken at the third level, below one of the existing second level domains.
― robocop ELF (seandalai), Thursday, 20 March 2014 02:34 (ten years ago) link
ikea only delivers near their stores, they ship by the most costly method possible outside their range :/

and yeah CW, that's big talk from an Internet tough guy! have you ever talked that way in someone's face? you appear to be of the generation who has found it convenient to talk shit without saying shit in person without conventional consequences.

Aah, well that would be a shame.
On a brighter note I found these stupidly overpriced but nonetheless irresistible covers for my bed.bemz.com/en-gb/product-page/product/bed-frame-covers/id/gri21/grimen/d2201/graphite-grey/

do you think it's a good idea to use the phrase "talk shit" with a display name of veronica moser

drove my friend to ikea during a snowstorm back in december because she was fed up with her apartment not being furnished and couldn't wait any longer. i think we were the only customers there. one of the most relaxing evenings i've ever had.

how were the meatballs

we didn't eat there. the food at ikea is awful but that's part of its charm.
