Could you learn to love this hipster again?

steve aoki, reformed sXe band member (and therefore alleged scene-jumper), sibling to a supermodel, son of a restaurant mogul, and indie rock record label mogul in his own right.

another person you probably feel conflicted about (if you waste your time on that kind of thing): do you appreciate that he comes from a diy background and brought us bloc party or
do you hate him for looking like a douchebag on the cobrasnake?

(btw: what is up with this? does philly have its own indie rock scene maker photo guy taking pix of overdressed 18 year olds with bangs? you young kids have taken over our scene and have made it so lame.)

the LA times does a story debunking tons of myths about a person you might’ve assumed is only good for making all your coke go away, and makes you almost like him again.

myth #1: he has never received any money from his dad for his record label.
but fact #1: he did borrow $10,000 from joel and benji madden of good charlotte to keep ti afloat.
