Sean Reveron: Music as the Basis | Hypebeast

Undoubtedly your experiences of the past have shaped both RockersNYC and yourself. Do you think that your youth experiences are something this current generation are lacking, whether it be the proliferation of the Internet or just a generally different cultural climate?

SR: Check it, I’m glad I was a youth when I was a youth! The fact we didn’t have the Internet meant we interacted with society & each other in a different way – face to face! Subcultures in my youth were able to grow in a more organic way, and to thrive without mainstream media and corporate marketing getting involved. That being said, youth today will find other ways to create their revolutions & I think the Internet will be a part of that.

Will we see you explore any other creative mediums beyond fashion?

SR: It’s time I get back into creating music… so watch out for A Gun Called Tension. Plus, I would love to have my wife teach me how to edit film! For the big picture, before I leave this planet I will open up an alternative humanist school, something I have always dreamed about… a place that teaches that all cultures are equal. I think that understanding every perspective is the key to the future of humanity.

Musically-speaking, who are some of your favorites of the past and what are you listening to right now?

SR: I have always loved soul music. What I mean by that is music that is created from the soul – it could be speed Metal, Hip-Hop, Country, Hardcore Punk, Doom Metal or Dancehall. I still listen to mad music from my past…the Breeders, Pixies, Southern Death Cult, Jesus Jones, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Funboy3, Siouxsie & the Banschees, Supercat, E-40, Hieroglyphics, Spacemen 3, Roots Manuva, 77klash, aguncalledtension, the Doc, Cocteau Twins! Right now I am into Psychedelic Black Metal and bands like Gang Gang Dance and SunAraw. I’ve been vibing out to mad Grunge too, like Temple of the Dog & Mother Love Bone. Digital Dancehall & Post-Punk (early Goth) are always in rotation!

Any last words?

SR: In closing, one thing that has really shaped our brand and my life is organic relationships and the outer-galactic tribe that we are all connected to! Big up to our NYC & LA massive, and our Japanese massive swagger and PHENOMENON, plus all the humans worldwide that have been down…stay up!!!
