Musical persona used by the Undisputable greatest musical artist of all-time, David Bowie, which was created in the late 70's. The Thin White Duke was Bowie at his musical peak, clouded by a cocaine-induced haze in which he recorded the album, "Station to Station," but claims not recalling doing so, due to his excessive cocaine use. Arguably the most controversial and darkest of Bowie characters.
Guy who knows nothing about music: "Hey, wouldn't you agree that Eminem's Slim Shady character is the greatest musical persona of all-time."
Guy who knows music: "Hell no, shithead, the Thin White Duke is far more abstract, musically talented, and creative. PWNED!"
A David Bowie stage character. An alter-ego perhaps. The Thin White Duke was the face of the 1976 'Station to Station' album. Bowie described the Duke as 'A very Aryan fascist type - a would-be romantic with no emotions at all'. The Duke was also Bowie's last stage character, but easily one of the meanest. The Thin White Duke was full of hatred but sang about love and fire. Songs of passion. He had curtained-style flame-coloured hair, was extremely pale, and enjoyed wearing black and white, business neutrals.
Person 1: "Hey, isn't that David Bowie?"
Person 2: "Nah, that's the Thin White Duke!"
A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.
