neon and more neon

Finally someone made a blog about technology and design and other artsy shit. This is a totally unexploited void on IN.T.E.R.N.E.T.

But for serious, this one has a nice collection of pictures of things with Neon. Maybe it's a tidal wave of nostalgiasploitation as a new generation of credit-card holders nears 30, but it's apparent that there is some serious love for neon colors and tubes. I can't put a date on the start of this phasion, but I think we must be nearing Peak Neon. Everyone seems to be fluorescent at dance parties, American Apparel et al. have jumped on it, and the shit is all over the underground malls in Seoul (literally underground, not some kind of black-market "urban-tribe" mall. Note: start that mall.) Buuut, for all that, I still love looking at neon colors and still find them intimately tied to all instances of the word 'future.'



P.S. Through the magic of wikipedia link-clicking I recently learned that all those fake words made of smashing two other words together are called portmonteau words. Sound smart at your next neon party, it could be your last!!

P.P.S. Taking bets on the next fashion-phase. Back to lumberjack plaid? Saved by the Bell Pastel? 80's electro Red/Black/White? Zombies? Beyond Thunderdome Urban-Tribe? (it has to happen some time...it has been foretold, so many times)
