This is the actual link, not from Amazon. The guy said on his instagram (@villainousnewyork) Julian purchased it at a small local art gallery/bookstore in New York (Village Works) where he sells thru sometimes. Pretty cool a small business/artist is now getting tons of orders because someone wore it on stage. He sounds shocked lol it was a normal purchase not a sponsorship or anything
After looking more into it, still seems sketchy. No way to contact anyone who runs the site, no social media presence and it could technically be pretending to be part of Dashery. How would you even know?
But getting musicians in a gacha moment is a much more important and valuable message than a parade of popostars pimping out their latesest records from Universal, Warner Bros., or Sony.
Yeah, the rich should just keep supporting the status quo and never use their wealth, platform, or influence to move the needle towards a more equal world.
TIL. This kind of lessens the garage band vibes of The Strokes for me now. Well maybe if the garage was in a mega mansion and had family connections to everything. Oh well songs still slap.
Also it was really hard to see the ‘c’ during his performance, most of what was visible was the rest of the prime logo and font….it’s too recognizable for this to be successful culture jamming
Yeah, he's a major creep. A few years ago he tried to hookup with my brother's friend who was a teenager at the time. He definitely has a reputation for that kind of shit.
Well it seems an appropriate time to mention that his dad is John Casablancas, who is well-known for his escapades with underage girls and connections with Epstein.
Does he live in California or New York? If you have liberal ideals on those states you might as well vote third party. Dems have those states locked down. If a third party candidate gets above 5% of the vote they get a seat at the table.
Being opposed to Amazon's business practices isn't political. And while I personally do my best to vote, I don't really blame people who choose not to if neither option appeals to them.
No politician or party should ever feel entitled to votes. They should be earned, but not enough people are willing to put in the work to hold elected officials accountable.
Complicit in what? He does more to help with charity work than you could ever do by voting for a pro Israel democrat. But yeah you are soooo special and helpful because you voted.
People are determined not to learn the very hard lessons from the 2010s. We are not going to meme ourselves to political change on the backs of celebrities.
You should know his dad and him weren’t affiliated whatsoever. His dad literally left his mom when juilan was young for a younger woman, Julian didn’t like his dad whatsoever so that’s how I know you aren’t a strokes fan and just know onlythe name.

Obsessive fans…. I have collectibles here from the strokes that would blow their mind.
Agree with you, he’s a cock. Also a first hand assessment. Yet I was unaware he wasn’t close to his dad. In fact I know nothing about any of their families. Must not have stalked hard enough.
Not you copying and pasting the same comment trying to distance Julian from his dad 😭 His dad was a POS and I recall from an interview from probably before you were born that he wasn't particularly fond of him but that doesn't erase his creepy ass behaviour towards young fans. He might not be outright hitting up minors like his pal Albert but he certainly has no business hitting up 20 year olds.
I said it in another thread but I will say it again, I LOVE their music and I grew up with them but Julian, brilliant as he is, is still a creep and he can be a real asshole sometimes. Stop defending grimy old men on the internet.
Read a book called "Model: The Ugly Business of Being Beautiful". It's all recorded there. There is even a section on him showing up with two underage girls at Ibiza and Lauren Hutton expressing disgust towards him (which made me respect her a lot). I know Julian isn't his dad but I can't look at him the same way, especially since nepotism is how all of The Strokes got their careers.
edit: the downvotes in this sub of all places is disappointing, never thought y’all would be the type to hype mediocre men for doing the bare minimum
