Thom Yorke wears a headband to try to look like an entry level alt

by Hipster Run Off on Wed, 2010/06/30 - 7:27pm


Gonna try to wear an accessory
that makes me look younger
that helps me appeal to a younger generation of bros
that helps me recapture an entry-level spirit.

My name is Thom
I’ve written some of the most important CD albums of the past 100 years
become a global visionary
environmental leader
and an internet marketing and music industry guru [via In_Rainbows]

But it’s time for me to reach a new fan base
The young ppl
The down market alt tweens
I know I reached an entire generation of young druggies in the past

but the new crop doesn’t know why they should enjoy me.
Me and my band, the Radioheads
Not sure if they even know what a ‘radio’ is
might have to change our name to ‘iPodhead’

Just wearing a headband
doin the damn thang
Gettin my riff on

Might buy a headband + wristband combo pack
to really align my arm brand
with my head brand
coming 2gether as 1

Does Thom Yorke look ‘entry level’ in a headband?
Do yall like the Radioheads?
IS he ‘ripping off’ Richard Tenenbaums?
Can Radiohead appeal 2 a new generation, or does every1 already like them?
Is Radiohead the #1 band in the world?
Is radiohead the #1 band of the 90s/2000s?
