I’m Over This Band

It seems like the trend is to get really into a band, not because they are talented, but because they are new. And then once everybody likes them, to not like them anymore. I like this trend because associating yourself with something new and cool makes you seem new and cool. But the trick is to stay ahead of the newness and coolness. 

That’s why I’m completely over “Still Pending” a Portland band that made it big in 2017. I just want to say that now, that I am completely over them. They are trying to do that retro Pearl Jam thing and I’m over it. 

They don’t have any video’s from the future but here they are in 09. Totally over it.

I’m also over Organic food markets, video phones, electric plug-in spaces for electric cars at supermarkets, reading, dog equality, shock-jock pastors, gaymance movies, wind power and professional American soccer. Over it. What are you over?

    I’m a mess I guess, because I’m still just trying to get over myself…

    I’m over:

    “Blue Like Samba Music”
    Buddha-mergent
    And the fact that Lance Armstrong just won his 20th Tour de France.

    Over it.

    I’m over kids whining about drinking their purified pee on the space station.

    Oh yeah, and powdered hot chocolate packets. Who are they kidding? It never tastes like the real thing…

  9. John says:

    Mullets, most definitely. :o )

    …what is a “shock-jock pastor”? I have never heard of that before.

  10. John says:

    …however, I am not over fanny packs, or belt buckles in the shape of the state of Texas. It will be quite a while before I am over those.

  11. Lydia says:

    I’m over frontman guitarists in flannel pajama bottoms who haven’t hit puberty yet.

  12. Matt Murphy says:

    I over professional baseball players admitting they cheated in the 90′s and acting like they knew nothing about it.

  13. [...] Miller wrote this great post on people who think keeping up with flavor-of-the-week anything (bands in particular) is the [...]

    living in a ski town and having both major and homemade snowboard videos with that same soundtrack has gotten old. freaking MGMT. “a family of trees???”

  15. i’m over LOL. (was never really into it).
    and twitter.

  16. [...] Donald Miller is such a trend setter.  He’s uber-cool.  I’m, like, so totally over him. [...]

    I taught at the school where those kids go. In fact, I was the 1st grade teacher of the lead’s little sister. Awesome!

  18. Joe says:

    I’m over Obama.

  19. Barbara says:

    I’m over people who think they’re busy busy schedules make them (somehow) important.

  20. Tim says:

    thats awesome.. but im already over you and all of your future books.

  21. Tara says:

    I’m gonna be over the Kindle and similar products. My mom just got one, and she loves it. She can access all these books instantly and it’s easy on her eyes and blah blah blah. But I bet it doesn’t have that yummy new book smell, or that yummy old book smell for that matter (new feature? I get the money for it if that happens ever). You can’t collect Kindles to lovingly pack every time you move even though you don’t need all you Kindles in your more spacious apartment in a worse neighborhood. Plus, I can’t start a conversation with you about your Kindle when I recognize the cover or the author’s name on the subway or bus or coffee shop or wherever. Yes, I will decide to be vehemently over fake books.

    good band, I’m over the age of 25 hehe

  23. I’m so over books by people who write about nothing and everything all at once.
