I was roasted by The Basement for writing an article about how great it is
Everyone is so, so not nice
The Basement: a secretive Facebook group dedicated to the discussion of streetwear. Why is it special? Why does it matter? Because, for me, it’s one of the last pure, friendly, uncynical, non-acidulous places left on the internet. It is an anti-Cuntry Living. It’s people discussing their trainers, their music and their relationships in a laidback way. I wouldn’t hesitate to describe the entire operation as “cute.” It’s weirdly heartwarming and incredibly addictive.
So I decided to write about The Basement, and how nice everyone is there.
A typical basement fan
The article was, unsurprisingly, shared on the basement. It went down really well:
Great
Loves the caps lock does this guy
First they came for Charlie Hebdo
A poll was made, no option to put me inside a giant wicker effigy of Kanye and set me on fire unfortunately
This was in my inbox
Cool reference
Let’s find him and execute him!
Or #ban him

Technically I’m a contributing editor but w/e
This from a guy who pretty much only tweets about how much he loves John Terry
I don’t even read the tag
Never tell a group of people that they’re nice
Fair
Thanks everyone, I hope you enjoyed it.
