Gerai Kaset - The Future Of Rok Kapak







Lets be honest, they're butt ugly....Rock & Roll never had it worse, never the 'pretty boy look'....these are 'the real McCoys'....the real bad boy of Rock from kampung....they're so bad that you might never knew their real name....or if they might still be alive (albeit quite a few survived as icons of the era), most have gone through the great abyss.....its just that 15 seconds of fame....it was a gone era....and for all it might worth...I dont wanna to re-live it again.....do you?


I dunno...but ball clenching leather pants is just not my cup o' tea. And those lip gloss and eye lashes, and those hair.....


Maybe if its a costume party....now that might be a different thing...instead of the usual 'Vampires & Ghouls' or 'Star Trek' theme....or even those Japanese Anime thingy....why not do a 'Rok Kapak' theme....


I never been to those horrendous costume parties...hated it....but the corporate sectors seemed to love it so much....so yuppie-esque right? 


Might also be one of those upper middle class conformists events...and it don't just stop there....even secondary schools in KLs are embracing prom nights for form 5s.....and those Halloween...what ever happen to our very own Hantu Raya? if you're looking for fusion than what bout Hantu Askar Jepun? Hantu Keminih? And lets not forget the classics Toyol, Pochong, Hantu Tetek, Pontianak Gua Musang (its a movie...I know).


For the love of God, if we really wanna do it...why not do something which at least is identified and certified as one of our proud adopted cultures.....yeah folks, lets make 'Rok Kapak' costume parties as one of our very own unique modern celebrations....


Sofea Formerly Known of SYJ (After The Band's Manager Syed Yazid Jamalulail)... Lets Have A 'Sofea Look A Like' Contest Huh?




Let us dictate what is ours, and be the Proud Malaysian that we are. Let us tell our bosses, be it MNCs, GLCs or even the Public Office....and let us make it as our social responsibility - to ignite and promote our culture & way of life at every social events....lets do a Rok Kapak costume parties...and re-live the moment...


And this time around t'will be our turn to show those corporate nerds and no lifers what we Malaysians are made of...Wa Caya Lu!


to be continued.....
