Death of Swagger

by Derek Alan West
Head Writer

Yesterday I was browsing through my time line on twitter when I came across the following hash tag from an 80 year old woman trying to gain 80 thousand followers: #oldladyswag. And though it had previously occurred to me that this was coming, it confirmed what I already knew. The use of the word swagger is no longer acceptable, or cool. Not only has it become too widely used, but the terms meaning itself has just become too broad. I recently saw a guy get a cast taken off his leg after a boating accident, the first thing he said when he stepped onto the floor? "I'm done with that handicap swag!"



eli porter introduced us to handicap swag..
"he da best mayne..he did it"

*Sigh*

Here is how google defines the word swagger:

swag·ger/ˈswagər/

Verb:
To walk or behave in a very confident and typically arrogant or aggressive way: "he swaggered along the corridor".
Noun:
A very confident and typically arrogant or aggressive gait or manner.

Somewhere along the way swagger became less about who you actually were and more so about who you wanted people to believe you were. People began to not necessarily HAVE swagger so much as they were attempting to ACHIEVE swagger. And how did they attempt to achieve it? By doing what other people who claimed to have a swag told them to do. They wore certain brands and styles of clothing. They used certain slang terms. They bought certain brands of cars, and sun glasses, and kicks. And then they told their friends "check out my swag!"

you can play a drinking game with how many times Lil B
 uses "swag" in a song

Now let's be clear people have been attempting to be stylish based on what other people have done, said, and wore forever. In the 80s rapper dressed the way drug dealers dressed, with the track suits and Gazelles (which are sun glasses for you 90s babies) and Adidas. I say that to highlight the fact that I'm not coming down on people for wanting to be stylish. The issue is the broad, over use, and frankly misuse of the word swagger. To have a swagger signifies ownership. It's yours. It's unique to you, and no one else has it. It's sort of like the fingerprint of your life.

when does it stop??

Now, if you walk the same, and talk the same, and use the same slang, buy the same clothes, wear them the same way, use the same accessories, get the same haircut, as everyone else, then how exactly is your swagger yours? Believe me when I say there is NOTHING wrong with being stylish. I mean let's be honest, no one wants to be considered unfashionable. Just don't make the mistake of fitting in as having swag, swagger is an attitude, not something you can buy or learn, and by definition it's not the best attitude to have anyway. There's nothing wrong with confidence, but aggressive arrogance is unappealing. Its a turn off to any women older than the age of 15.

So in conclusion what I'm saying is there is no such thing as #oldladyswag or #handicapswag or #hipsterswag or any other type of #hashtagswag. There is only swagger, and its long been known that when parents, teachers, grandparents, and older white people start using a slang term, it's time for us to stop using it. Swagger, ironically yours has expired.

On a side note I wish I had used #hashtagswag BEFORE I declared it uncool...

Feel free to comment, agree, or disagree.

Justin Bieber Working with Kanye West, Drake on Next Album

Justin says...

"“I’m working with a lot of cool people. I’m working with Kanye. Drake is going to work on the album with me. I just learned about picking the right songs and making sure that I create a sound that people aren’t really used to hearing so that it’s new and fun and people enjoy it.”

How we look at it...
This is a huge move for Beiber who doesn't get respect yet in the Hiphop community. If these songs end up being hot he might be able to cross over and become a even bigger pop star. Or it can go terribly wrong and bring everyone down. Good luck....

2012 LEXUS LFA

 Autoblog describes the 2012 Lexus LFA not as a supercar, but as a narcotic, because of its intent to affect the structure and function of the human body. With only 500 available worldwide, this gives a new meaning to the term “designer drug.” With a race-bred, 4.8-liter v10 under the hood it’d be apt to describe the sensation of driving this vehicle as euphoria-inducing. It is nearly identical in length to a Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette, but lower and wider than both. With 552 horses, Lexus claims its LFA will rocket to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds towards a top speed of 202 mph. If your pockets are deep enough and the habit is too hard to kick, the LFA retails for $375,000 USD.

Air Jordan Spizike “New York Knicks” Pack

Jordan Brand finally provides us with official images of its upcoming Spizike “New York Knicks” pack, a set of two colorways premiered by Spike Lee earlier this year. Both pay tribute to the storied NBA franchise with color schemes synonymous with the legendary knickerbockers. Look for both versions to release on November 5, 2011 with a retail price of $175 USD each.

2014 Audi 3-TRON SPYDER

The Audi e-tron Spyder is being dubbed as a diesel-electric roadster, a pairing of active descriptors that further prove the advancement in automotive ingenuity. At first glance this may appear like merely a roofless, R8-based all-electric e-tron that was unveiled in Frankfurt in 2009. Rather, this is a longer and wider inclination that still features the plug-in diesel-electric powertrain. The 69-cell lithium-ion battery pack is good for 9.1-kilowatt hours, weighs around 220 pounds and is situated up front together with the electric motors. Though the diesel fuel tank carries just 13.2 gallons, the e-tron Spyder has an on-paper range of over 600 miles per fill-up thanks to its lithium-ion-fueled parallel help. While still just a prototype, the price has been valued at $2.7 million USD.

Eminem & Lil Wayne Cover November GQ Mag

"Eminem and Lil Wayne land the cover of November’s GQ Magazine for their Rock issue about “Survivors.” What I believe that means, judging from Eminem’s interview, is that each of the artists profiled tells their personal story of hardship and overcoming obstacles. You can check out Eminem’s interview here. Wayne’s will be posted on Thursday. GQ’s November 2011 issue goes on sale October 25 nationwide."

Nike LeBron 9 "Cannon"

The first shoe to combine Flywire and Hyperfuse technology, the Nike LeBron 9 focuses on functionality without sacrificing style. With sleek orange and vibrant volt accents to make the military-green and slate shoes pop, LeBron’s 9th signature shoe packs a lot of punch. Max Air 180 in the heel combines with Nike Zoom in the forefoot to give LeBron the cushioning he needs for deftly turns on the drop of a dime. A midfoot harness and textile wings provide the stability, durability, and flexibility needed to lock LeBron in. The LeBron 9 is strong but light, enabling him to be quick, powerful and explosive on the court. Like last year’s LeBron 8 “South Beach” colorway, the LeBron 9 “Cannon” will first be released exclusively in Miami as a sign of appreciation and respect for LeBron’s South Florida fans and community. The Cannon will be available at select retail locations tonight.

Bugatti 16C Galibier A Further Look

When it was announced that French luxury car manufacturer Bugatti would be rolling out the 16C Galibier, car enthusiasts who could afford the pocket-draining $1.4M USD price tag waited with baited-breath. As more pictures of the conceptual look of the car become apparent, we now also know that nothing will begin going into production until at least 2015. Amongst the changes from what they thought to be the early specs include an entirely redone rear end. As for the engine, originally proposed as a detuned version of the Veyron’s 1000+horsepower W-16 with twin superchargers in place of the quad turbos, will now be reboosted up past the four-digit mark. The changes reportedly come out of feedback from current Veyron owners, half of whom have reportedly seen and sat in the Galibier concept car already.
