Art Damaged with Gus Dapperton

Art Damaged with Gus Dapperton

Author: Throwing Fits April 12, 2023 Duration: 1:31:53

We're about to spazz. This week, the boys are hanging with musical artist Gus Dapperton. Gus was kind enough to take time out of his busy bowling schedule to chat about the origin of his best in class stage name, his many SoundCloud alter egos, wearable bus seats, reading lanes at the Gutter, the cosmic convergence that is podding with TF, worldbuilding his next album, being a man of many hairstyles, finding follicle inspiration from Bowie to Britney, growing up the rare loner jock skater, being sick at lax, hitting the desert with Hedi Slimane, the surreal moment when fans who can't speak English sing your songs back to you, putting streaming numbers on the board, what's it costs for a feature, how he actually gets paid making music, signing to a major label, bedroom pop stars who party, who else he's listening to this summer, whether or not he still gets busy at the thrift, beating the queer-baiting allegations, making your personal life public through music, quality vs. quantity on social media, hard launching your girl on TikTok, going to college in Philly, Gus Clones, on stage banter and much more on this idyllic and intimate episode of The Only Podcast That Matters™.

In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
