A Badly Dressed Death Rocker

Ian Svenonius of Weird War in OC Weekly:

OC Weekly: What do you say to some 18-year-old kid who votes Republican?

Ian Svenonius: That’s some kind of weird death trip—the same thing as kids cutting their arms. Kind of apocalyptic in a sense. You’re really explicitly saying you want the economy to crumble, you want car bombs to go off in American cities. It reminds me of the proletarian masses marching to their death in World War I. The death urge is really central to the human psyche. The Bush people are like death rockers in a way. Goth/death weirdoes, but with really bad dress sense.
