thrift rock

Musical genre defined by bands whose members strive to look poor (i.e. all their clothes purchased from local thrift store). Style is often accompanied by music with horns and an evident Sufjan Stevens inspiration.

Yo, did you see that thrift rock band at the bar the other night? I thought those guys lived on the sidewalk in front of my house. Turns out their from Fairfax County.

thrift shop masochism

An insatiable need to go into every thrift store you see and buy something uniquely hideous no matter how badly you wish you could just keep going.

My thrift shop masochism has intensified beyond a manageable stage since I saw Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ video masterpiece.
