the term "throwback"


Pfffffffffft

Recommended Posts

ok, we all know what this means, my question to you all is do you think this term will stick around and become another term used to describe remade items. i mean we have terms like, vintage, classic, oldtimey, ect. or do you think it is just more trendy slang?

 

just a thought

 

i can hear it now..

 

"introducing, the 2004 throwback VW beatle!!"

hiphop slang...

 

i knowyou have seen the current trend in hiphop with the basketball jerseys???? people are buying sport uniforms from like the 70s, 80s, (keep in mind they are new, just reproduced) nike has been remaking all the old airforce 1s, all the old jordans...... this process has been coined "throwback"...like "taking the style back" hiphop term for classic remake.....

that probably wasnt a reproduction, it probably was an odie he kept or a thrift store find..

If I remember correctly, it was... a Mitchell & Ness. M&N has been around since like '91... they just didn't blow up until about 3 years ago.

I'm sorry, no offense, but I have to ask... Have you people been living under a rock? That term has been intertwined with the media and the mainstream for the past 2 1/2 years...

 

No I just don't care to follow mainstream culture/hip hop and it's terms.

Hahaha... yeah Ludacris does come with some impressive lines. My dad isn't a big hip hop fan but he's always liked Ludacris with the shit he comes up with. An incredible wordsmith.
