Fluxxx | It Girl
Today Pierre and Ethan, the prolific pair and dynamic duo known as Fluxxx, slap on the well deserved It-Girl name tag. Joining us on their rooftop, we dive deep, discussing the greatest nepo babies, Kings Hawaiian pretzel bites, top tier brain rot, and (not that) much more. Hear about it, see about it, read about it. This is Fluxxx.
Hey, I'm Pierre. I'm Ethan.
Where were you during the January 6th?
Ethan: I was in a sports bar eating jalapeno poppers, drinking and lemonade, watching it on TV.
Pierre: That's when they stormed the Capitol, right? Was that like last year? Around January 6th, I had maybe 10 to 15 boxes of Little Caesars stocked up on my refrigerator. I was eating Little Caesars and watching the Boondocks special.
Which nepo baby doing it the best?
E: The greatest Nepo baby of all time is an expected one. Lily Rose Depp, Julian Casablancas, and Clairo.
P: Lowkey, Luka Sabat is my favorite Nepo baby. But I'm a divergent and say, not my favorite Nepo baby my favorite scammer though is Been Slacking. I respect the resolve, you know? Luca, stop faking it, bro.
What song you playing on aux in the Uber?
P: Either Weird Fishes by Radiohead or Kill You in Bed by George Clanton.
E: I'm either listening to Nowhere Near by Yellow Tango or Move Along by all American rejects. It's not a good trip home ever.
Max you’re paying for an uber
E: $35.
P: $15 I'm not going to lie.
E: He’s Going from Rash to Birdys.
P: I'm not taking a Uber from fucking Manhattan.
E: Clams to Le Dive.
P: No drugs, no drinks, no Uber, nothing.
Concert you’ve been to with the best sound?
E: Bout a week and a half ago, I went to McGee concert. I found his new album this year to be his mesmerizing. It's made me feel absolutely terrible about everything I've ever done on my computer. Because the beep boop shit. It needs, needs more soul. He's got the soul.
P: I don't I don't have anything to say. Unfortunately, I haven't been to many concerts. I did go see Die Lit live, though, in Ohio. Oh no, in Kentucky. That was cool.
Second best thing you’ve tried in the last 30 days?
P: Ketamine ketamine for sure.
E: My mother bought me the King's Hawaiian little, like, pretzel bites. Whatever the fuck they got going on at Kings Hawaiian I'm with it. Yeah. So that's the second best thing I've tried behind, pickled green beans with, jalapeno sauce.
Go to downtime activity?
P: There’s this YouTube channel called and Modern I love watching YouTube video. I love like, brain rot in like a more knowledgeable sense.
E: I eat Trader Joe's trail mix every time I go grocery shopping. I buy four bags I've been keeping up with, the world of t shirts lore.
P: I watch one piece a lot, and I'm not a big anime head whatsoever, but one Piece got it for me, though.
B: Do you really want to see a rotted brain? It's right here. So I turn on Gossip Girl, I go on TikTok, I look up a world of t shirts. I go on this one account that posts all of his streams. I eat my trail mix and I watch both things at the same time.
What’s a One syllable word you despise?
P: I hate, I hate, I hate the c-word, cunt. I fucking hate saying it every say, every time I hear someone say that shit, I like cringe so hard. It seems like such an aggressive word to use. I just, I don't know, I can't, I can't get around to using that word at all.
E: Rich. I hate when people describe food as rich. Shut up like it's not rich. Don't call a food rich and oh, also, don't call it savory.
You guys fuck with Pilates??
I don't know what Pilates is. Is it isn't is it like a form of like yoga or. No. Pilates is like. It's like a whole, like, thing you do. Everyone I've ever met that talks about Pilates, they do like hot Pilates or whatever.
What's the difference between hot yoga and hot Pilates? Because I've met two people in my life and I've done hot yoga with like, goats. And I think that's like so sick where they have like, it's like goat yoga, but Yoga, like it is like a therapeutic thing to do. But yeah, I, I have no idea what fuck pilates is if someone can inform me on that shit, please do let us know in the comments. What what Pilates is.
Thoughts on the Beats Pill?
E: JBL clears.
P: Yeah I agree JBL clears as fuck.
E: I had a pair of solos. They were like light blue. And then I would go on and customize like the studios which were like the bigger one. And I would put like the paint splatter on them, which I thought was really cool. I don't know anyone that has one anymore.
P: I had no speaker. I was going to five below for that shit.
MTV. Did it save the world?
E: Though. Okay. Both are genius. The product and the company are because you see what has happened to music videos over the past 20 years. They got like they were really good in the early 2000’s. I say like 2013. Then they got kind of bad. Now they're coming back because people are recognizing that they matter. The only reason that exists is because of MTV.
P: VH1 is pretty good too. They did good for music culture and like the music videos as well.
Would you rather live in an all expenses paid mansion in LA or be held in a shipping container for 2 weeks?
E: Give me a LA but give me a Xanax.
P: Give me give me a LA and all the coke you can find.
E: Would you rather be a Temu package, a Bryce Hall? That's just like, a pinpoint of where we are in culture. If anyone saw Elon Musk jumping up and down at Donald Trump's rally and then fast forwarding, Kamala Harris going on, Call Her Daddy, we are in such a good time for memes. I know, like, a lot is like going on right now and there's like a lot at risk with this election and stuff. But detach yourself from like your heart and just look at the memes.
Thoughts on the MTA?
P: Fuck the MTA. The MTA keeps robbing me every time. I go up to scan because I pay with Apple pay, as probably like anyone else does, if they're not hopping the fucking trains. I'll pay my $2.90 and it says card not accepted. The i end up paying another 2.90. And then it finally goes through. But it's like bro, like, come on. I'm already paying and I don't want to. This shit is already expensive. And then wait, you say they need to take some fucking tracks out.
E: There's certain stops on the subway that it's like, why are they there? You're telling me on the six train line you need 14th street to 23rd acceptable? Do you really need 23rd to 28th? It's one of the two. Okay. Everything else is nine blocks apart. I think the sixth train is no different. They need to fix it like it's 100 year old system. It's too loud. The F train is the worst train.
What was the last song you were listening to? (prove it)
P: DVNO. I listen to justice, self-titled album maybe three times a week. I'll put that on because it's something I can walk to. I can listen, I can, I can fuck around and sleep, too. This is a good an easy song, easy album to listen to. I listen to it over and over. I know every single transition. I know, I know what the song is next I it's it's easy.
E: The last one I listen to is killer by Salem. Just today I listen to the entirety of Selected Ambient Works Volume 2 Because I was sad. Yeah. I wasn't feeling that good. My rotation every day is pretty much Bowery Electric, Salem, the new 2hollis song and, you know, select few, like, Maybe Day Parade, All American Rejects, Crystal Castles, all the fun stuff.
P: Like, I listen to a lot of jazz and soul music, but if I'm if I'm going to listen to like, anything cool is probably like, more of, like, a Sebastian shit. I've grown obsessed with Sebastian. He's so fucking good, bro. So insane. Dude.
E: Yeah, he'll play Ed Banger and then I'll screw it up and play like EQ. Shout out EQ though. Yeah, shout out. Shout out Bass Victim.
P: It's sometimes it's a little rough transition, but, you know, you make that shit work. It works. People get it, bro. So as long as people are dancing, that's all we care about. Shout out, deep thrills for the hot to go remix. I listen to that a lot.
P + E: Shout out Lustr.
