Nanoculture

Alex Koenig: Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Stereo IQ

It’s just my symbol of genocide to the bullshit. Mass murdering the bullshit. Too much bullshit out here. I came to Nazi that shit. I came to Hitler that motherfucker. Put all the fake motherfuckers in the gas chamber and gas your fuck ass. That’s what I’m here to do. So niggas better walk light around a nigga. I’ma show niggas. I can talk but I’ma show niggas. All that fake shit, I’ma call that shit out and I’ma stomp that shit out. I got a mission. Just playing the game for the meantime.

The Soul of J Dilla

Soothing soul brimming with life

Brooding drum roll conflating fear with strife

A sonic vagabond but not unsettled

Or disheveled, a myriad of emotions

Will be his most potent potion 

“Donuts” is decoded as mortality 

And the ephemerality of our existence 

Each slice of R&B

Will soundtrack our subsistence 

I’m really scared for my generation, you know. The thing that scares me most is Tumblr. I hate what Tumblr has become. Because it like, it reminds me of those clique-y girls in high school that used to make fun of everyone and define what was cool, but in five years, when you all graduate, that shit doesn’t matter. No one gives a fuck about that shit. Instead of kids going out and making their own moments, they’re just taking these images and living vicariously through other people’s moments. It just kills me. Then you’ll meet them and they’re just the biggest turkey in the world. They don’t actually embody any of those things. They just emulate. It’s scary man, simulation life that we’re living. It scares me.

I think I’ve danced to more garage rock than dance music.

I cover the Oasis classic. This is about as bluesy as I get with a guitar.
