I usually go for some standard, brownish Nike/Adidas shoes, but these look really cool, nice buy.

Is that a graphics tablet they're sitting on? Thats the thinest tablet I've ever seen. Also, why do you have a tablet, and the monster sized Cintiq?

Lol, yeah. The black one is the Intuos 4. I won a scholarship a few months after I bought it and used the money to buy the Cintiq, so now I have tablets as far as the eye can see. But I use the Intuos for internet browsing and modeling, and the Cintiq as a second monitor, and for painting and Photoshop stuff. It's too big to use all the time.

Cheers mate!

I got the hip flask with a bottle of regular Jameson's I got on the duty free on the way over to Geneva, drank it all there, and got 12 Year Old on the way back.

What does newjack mean?

Newjack(As a noun), put in a way that the forums might understand, is along the lines of someone posting in the hl2 section about how they've put a lot of thought into their ideas on how the HL story would turn out, mostly involving G-Man revealing himself to be Gordon Freeman from the future. Their signatures would contain multiple Newjack Emoticonsimu:'s, 's, :flame:'s, :afro:'s and others) often formatted in a way to be interacting with one another, and beneath it would be a quote from ctrl-alt-del.

Newjack(In the manner of which I originally used it) as an adjective(right?) was actually referring to the metal scene amongst generation Y(In the general area that I live in(Which seems full of newjacks(Brackets are awesome bro(**** yeah.)))) if you were to somehow transfer your connotations and views of the aforementioned Noun definition and project it onto the image of an underweight 16 - 21 year old (Because anyone under the age of 16 is automatically a Newjack at life and does not count towards this stereotype) man who has Snake Bite piercings, a straightened fringe of hair coming down one side of his face (I never got why people thought combovers were cool, too.) tiny ear stretchers (That he complains about on a regular basis(Around women(I mean wtf))) and wears attire that consists of, but is not restricted to:

• A blue and black "Flanno" jacket/coat/overshirt.
  
  
  
  
• A matching fashion bandana that sits around the back of his neck.
  
• Hipster/Emo-esque framed glasses (Despite not needing a persecription(You'll probably start to think of Hipsters in your head instead of Newjacks(But they're pretty similar(So it's all good.)))
  
• A tight "Bring Me The Horizon", "The Amity Affliction", "Wish for Wings", "A Day To Remember", "The Devil Wears Prada", "I Killed the Prom Queen" shirt.
  
• Skinny-ass Bitch Jeans, usually black, accompanied with a red or black pair of "Chucks" (Converse Shoes(Like, I'm pretty sure Marty McFly would wear them(But he isn't a Newjack at all, I'd kill to use that huge amp at the start of the first movie(But I suppose it would be irresponsible of Marty to expose the Doc's inventions like that(But he should have thought of that before being a movie character(Dumbass.)))))

Basically, they copy the image of the newjack bands:

(Also Dog-- is a newjack.)

@ Danimal

Jesus Christ, the frontman has a stupid haircut. Or lack thereof. Not that the rest of them aren't bad enough to comment on either.

 

[Rizzo]

God, you're such a nerd Toaster.

It's hot.

 

[huntingbear]

what's wrong with that?

i have a limited edition "Amnesiac" and limited edition "With Teeth"

 

[Dog--]

(Also Dog-- is a newjack.)

I dont fit ANY of those criteria. I'd consider myself more of a troll maybe, not often but sometimes, I have valid input though so who knows..

What does newjack mean?

There was this movie called New Jack City, that came out in like 1991 or some shit.

It was this drugs and guns gangster flick and it had somewhat of a cult following. I remember seeing it a couple times. It stared Ice-T.

It was most notable for this catchy ass single, by Ice-T:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5-6q8ap3vU
References to "newjack" could be found in the lyrics of many popular hip-hop songs of that time.


Then here is some new newjack shit:

"New Jack City 2"

As to what it has to do with "corporate studio, scientifically proven to be a mainstream success" punk music, I have no idea, personally. Other than that blue shirt that Bow Wow is wearing I don't see the connection.

All I see is John Bender in that picture.

JOHN DARNIELLE YOU HAVE MADE AN ENTIRE ALBUM ABOUT THE BIBLE AND IT'S REALLY GOOD AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT ONE OF THE BEST SONGS QUOTES A VIDEO GAME MY GOD WILL YOU EVER STOP BEING THE COOLEST PERSON EVER

I hope you cut yourself shaving tomorrow.

Heh.

OK guys. I don't know how many will care, I think I've figured out the connection for 'New Jack' coming from a 1991 gangster flick and being used as a term to describe studio punk rock music.

Ice-T got a lot of criticism for being corny; a terrible rapper/actor, a 'fake ass gangster'; a 'studio gangster'. (Badass only in a recording studio)

So there is your connection to 'fake ass studio' punk rock. Commercial music.

So newjack must be a derogatory term for someone who is corny, fake, and trendy - in it for the money. Music for the mainstream.


I just found this amusing, sorry.
