Sophomore "Really Getting Into" Mac Demarco, Cigarette Addiction

Towson High's own Braiden Thompson ('18) is proud to announce that as of this past weekend, he totally fucks with Canadian singer/songwriter and indie rock clown prince Mac Demarco, and cigs. "I think I speak for our whole social group when I say we all knew this day would come," says fellow sophomore Steven Glazer, without even a trace of irony or cynicism.

According to friends of Thompson, he has been speaking almost exclusively in direct quotes from videos of Demarco's interviews since last Friday and has taken to wearing his dad's trucker hats. Melissa Tundridge ('18) confirms: "Up until recently, I never thought of Braiden as a hat guy, but now he comes to school in a beat up old baseball cap and blasts all of Salad Days on a little stereo in the hallway and smokes four packs of Marlboro Reds a day."

When asked what initially drew him to Demarco's music, Thompson surmises that it was likely Demarco's extremely marketable and obnoxiously contrived public persona which was obviously designed to hook little pieces of shit like him from the get-go. "Mac's a nice guy," Thompson says, his lungs polluted with putrid smoke. "It's just really great to know there's someone in the music industry right now who's chill and relatable like him."
