Effortless yet menacing chic. Try this on Saturday when you take that girl from accounting to Chipotle.
Bane.
Paul Weller called. He wants this bastardized version of his 2006 haircut back.

I don’t think people realize how important the Beastie Boys were. First, they didn’t appropriate black culture. Which was a huge deal for white rappers and frankly, unheard of to this day amongst white hip hop artists.
They also were feminists. They didn’t play “Girls” at shows in the last 10 years because it wasn’t who they were, anymore. And they were one of the lone voices to really take organizers of Woodstock redux festivals to task when women were raped and assaulted at those shows, when virtually nobody else did.
And if throwing back to Sly and the Family Stone and Miles Davis wasn’t enough, they were one of the few acts that referenced past pop culture in a way that made it relevant.
And finally, they were a band that managed to have a nearly 30 year run without being one of those nostalgia bands. Their shows were filled with any age range, proving they kept their appeal fresh.
I loved them and I think they were genre-defying and so much smarter than they were even given credit for. RIP Adam Yauch.
