What is a SWIRL??


This concept may be difficult to explain, but I'm going to try anyway. These ideas were brought up after we noticed a trend of White boys speaking like Andy Samburg in the Like A Boss video (CLICK HERE TO WATCH IT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT)

A Swirl (like the one pictured above) is a White person that adopts Brown/Black/Ethnic stereotypical qualities. It can also work conversely--mostly seen with Brown/Black hipsters. An example of this phenomenon would be:

Justin Timberlake. I try to forgive this period of his life because he looked so ridiculous. However, you get my point.Robin Thicke. His voice is like velvet and he has some serious swagger. His gorgeous wife is also Black.

Kid Cudi and Kanye West. HELLA SWIRL/HIPSTER right here! Could those pants be any tighter?

Any thoughts, ideas, opinions on this subject? Let's create a dialogue. This is a safe space!
