kiamatthews: Brightest Young Things is a hub for toddler hipsters in DC who want a place to belong. I begrudgingly read it since it covers a lot of the music I like. Which maybe says more about ME than BYT but shit man, can’t a bitch enjoy some blippy music? This tweet is a perfect example of what I hate about the BYT culture. Look, I love Wu-Tang Clan just as much as anyone (90’s Wu-Tang to be more specific) but really, this would be a dealbreaker? And for the kids who are this site’s demo?? (suburban teens and college kids and 22 year olds who have moved to DC on Mommy and Daddy’s dime) Negros, please. I don’t know what kind of “cred” you are trying to flex, person who wrote this tweet, but please do not pretend that Wu-Tang is something you stan for so hard that ignorance of it is unacceptable in your life. Please stick to what you know. Go put on your headdress and you gold lame leggings and hit up the Crystal Castles show.  Word. An undisclosed person and I decided that if we ever owned a business together this would be one of our interview questions.  Except that we would rquire 100% accuracy.  Without Googling, and off the top of my head: RZA GZA Raekwon tha Chef Masta Killa Ghostface Ol Dirty Bastard Method Man U-God Inspecta Deck Take that bitches.  I’ll be accepting applications shortly.
