We hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, but we’re pretty sure you’ll love Music FAILS, our new site where music meets meme for a really amazingly awkward online date. So go check it out and have a happy Friday, you guys. Don’t say we never did anything for you.
Finally! A place for all your Skrillex gifs.
You should have put the ’80s in there with the devil horns, only with the thumb outstretched….I think in American Sign Language it means “I love you”.

Seriously folks. Who goes to a concert to watch people fiddle with their gadgets? The 2000′s replaced the hoisted lighter with the hoisted camera/phone/what-have-you. Nothing like an ocean of geeks attempting to record crappy sound/video, or take a lousy picture from a sweaty crowd. Guess what? You’re going to go home and find out that your silly pictures are so out of focus they are unusable, since you were so drunk you couldn’t hold a wet paper bag steady, and the video is so blurry it would make Popeye the Sailor Man queasy from all the jerking around you did.
Can’t you folks leave your gadgets at home, or in your pockets? Really, does every bloody moment in life have to be digitized? Ringtones are the 2000′s version of flatulance. “is that you?”
Concerts used to be an event one went to hear MUSIC. And yes, consume copious amounts of alcohol/substances. But even a crowd full of Bad Argument Hippie Chicks is less annoying than a crowd full of Inappropriate Usage of Technology Hipsters. Hey, why don’t I bring along my theramin to entertain the crowd between sets? Or my chainsaw to create sellable ice sculptures? How about I just bring my ham radio and hook it to the soundboard to broadcast the show to Latvia?
It’ll cycle back.
Technology will inevitably push camera size small enough that they could easily be tattooed on the hand and powered by free lipids and sugars in the bloodstream.
