内容总结：

本周的《Out of Touch Guide》聚焦“Loser Core”这一音乐流派与亚文化现象。它是对过度精修的音乐和Instagram式精致时尚的一种明确反击。我们同时解释一些俚语：如果年轻人说你有“EBK”，或者点头对你说“GiGis”，你就能判断自己是被冒犯还是被夸赞。此外，还有《星球大战》粉丝圈最新的“Glub Shitto”式人物——Biddy Blas。

什么是Loser Core和Loser Core歌单？
Loser Core是年轻人中逐渐壮大的亚文化和音乐风格。其音乐受独立、另类和低保真风格影响，歌词偏向抑郁，主题通常关于疏离感、青春期焦虑以及“不知道怎么和女生说话”。Loser Core类似emo，但更 homemade、更绝望；也像grunge，但愤怒更少。代表性Loser Core艺人有Memo Boy和Wifiskeleton，重要影响来源包括Radiohead和Weezer。
Loser Core的造型是反时尚：超大码松垮连帽衫、动漫T恤、电子手表和破旧运动鞋。人格类型是疏离的书呆子，爱好小众、朋友不多。简而言之，就是那些抑郁的年轻人，被抑郁的音乐和邋遢造型吸引。无论你多大年纪，你17岁时肯定认识（或者就是）这种人。
下面这个视频有更多解释：
以上就是Loser Core这一流派和生活方式。解释Loser Core歌单为何走红则更复杂一些。该歌单由depay178在Spotify创建，名为LOSERCORE，收录155首Loser Core流派歌曲。今年6月，TikTok用户@user406398991开始发布AI生成卡通视频来推广LOSERCORE歌单。这些视频有一组固定角色，通常围绕音乐展开，结尾会推荐访问LOSERCORE歌单。示例如下：
这些视频在10月开始大量出现在许多人的信息流中，提升了该音乐流派的知名度，并引发了模仿视频，例如：
……还有来自艺人的视频，他们对自己被列入歌单感到困惑；有人售卖山寨周边；有人把守“Loser Core”的定义边界，质疑某些歌曲为何被纳入这份正逐渐成为“标准清单”的歌单。另外还有大量视频在问：“为什么这东西一直出现在我的信息流里？”
围绕该歌单的网络讨论主要集中在视频质量被认为不高，以及为什么有人会花这么多时间推广一个Spotify歌单——毕竟你无法通过它带来的关注者直接变现。

这是个好问题。这份歌单可能通过间接方式让某人赚钱——也许推广与歌单中的乐队有关联，而乐队按播放量获得收入——但我更愿意认为，这只是一些认同这些艺人的孩子，想让其他孩子听到自己喜欢的东西，就像过去人们做杂志（zine）那样。我们不必把所有事情都变现，对吧？

“EBK”是什么意思？
EBK代表“Extreme Baller Knowledge”（极致球星知识）。它超越体育语境，可用于任何对某一主题有深入了解的人。通常带有反讽用法。

“GiGis”是什么意思？
“GiGis”读音像名字Gigi，源自体育，又经游戏文化传播。赛后礼貌用语“good game”在体育中由来已久。玩家将其采纳并在文字中缩写为“GG”。因此GiGis就是表达“good game”的方式。

本周病毒视频：Biddy Blas
本周病毒视频来自一段电子游戏过场动画。《星球大战：银河赛车手》于10月6日发布，其意外走红的明星是Biddy Blas。你在任何《星球大战》电影或电视剧中都找不到他。Biddy只出现在这款游戏里，基本上只是作为比赛中等待被击败的对手存在。但Biddy太出彩了，不该默默无闻。看看他：
游戏发布后不久，粉丝就称Biddy是“最佳Glup Shitto（名字滑稽的《星球大战》背景角色）”，并开始制作表情包来庆祝他，例如：
Biddy Blas的走红源于配音演员Richard Summers-Calvert充满活力的表演，尤其是他念出Biddy口头禅“scrib doon”（即“Write that down.”）的方式。这句话会卡在你脑子里：
而且有很多场合都特别适合说“scrib doon”：

本周的《脱节指南》深入探讨了“失败者核”这一音乐流派/亚文化，它是对过度精修的音乐和Instagram上精修时尚的尖锐回应。我们还会定义一些俚语，这样如果有个年轻人说你“EBK”，或者点点头对你说“GiGis”，你就能知道自己是被人损了还是被人夸了。另外还有比迪·布拉斯——星球大战粉丝圈最新的“格鲁普·希托”。

什么是失败者核以及失败者核歌单？

失败者核是年轻人中日益壮大的亚文化和音乐风格。其音乐受独立、另类和低保真音乐影响，歌词偏向抑郁。主题通常是疏离感、青春期焦虑，以及跟女生搭话有多难。失败者核有点像情绪核，但更DIY、更绝望，或者像垃圾摇滚但少了愤怒。知名的失败者核艺人包括Memo Boy和Wifiskeleton。重要影响来源包括电台司令和威瑟乐队。

失败者核的穿搭风格是反时尚的：超大号松垮连帽衫、动漫T恤、电子手表和破旧运动鞋。性格类型是疏离的书呆子，爱好小众，朋友寥寥。所以基本上就是一群抑郁的年轻人，被抑郁的音乐和邋遢的造型所吸引。不管你多大年纪，我敢肯定你17岁的时候认识（或者就是）这种人。

这里有个视频可以稍微多解释一下：

以上就是失败者核这个流派和生活方式。要解释失败者核歌单为什么这么火就稍微复杂一些了。LOSERCORE是depay178在Spotify上创建的一个歌单，收录了155首失败者核流派的歌曲。早在六月，一个叫@user406398991的TikTok用户开始发布AI生成的动画来推广LOSERCORE歌单。这些视频有一组固定出现的角色，内容通常跟音乐有关，结尾会推荐大家去听LOSERCORE歌单。下面是一个例子：

这些视频在十月份开始大量出现在很多人的信息流中，提升了这一音乐流派的知名度，并催生了大量模仿视频，比如这个：

……还有来自一些艺人的视频，他们对自己被列入歌单感到困惑；有人在卖山寨周边；有人在把守“失败者核”的定义门槛，质疑某些歌曲是否该被加入这份逐渐成为权威榜单的歌单。另外还有一大堆视频在问：“为什么这东西老出现在我的信息流里？”

网上关于这个歌单的讨论主要围绕视频质量堪忧，以及为什么有人会花这么多时间去推广一个Spotify歌单——毕竟你没法靠它涨的粉丝变现。

这条推文目前不可用。它可能正在加载或已被删除。

这是个好问题。确实有一些间接的方式能让这个歌单为某人赚钱——也许推广活动和歌单上的乐队之间有联系，乐队按播放量获得收入——但我更愿意相信这只是一些认同这些艺人的孩子，想让其他孩子听到自己喜欢的东西，就像过去人们做独立杂志那样。我们不必什么都要变现，对吧？

“EBK”是什么意思？

EBK代表“极限行家知识”。它超越了体育领域的用法，适用于任何对某个领域有深入了解的人。通常带有反讽意味。

“GiGis”是什么意思？

读音像名字“Gigi”，“GiGis”从体育圈经由游戏文化演变而来。赛后礼貌用语“good game”（打得好）在体育界由来已久。游戏玩家采用了这个说法，在文字聊天中缩写为“GG”。所以GiGis就是说“打得好”的一种方式。

本周病毒视频：比迪·布拉斯

本周的病毒视频来自一个电子游戏过场动画。《星球大战：银河赛车》于10月6日发售，其中脱颖而出的明星已经诞生：比迪·布拉斯。你在任何星球大战电影或剧集中都找不到他。比迪只出现在这一个游戏里，基本上只是作为一个在比赛中被击败的对手而存在。但比迪太出色了，不该默默无闻。看看他吧：

游戏发售后不久，粉丝们就称比迪为“最佳格鲁普·希托（星球大战中名字搞笑的背景角色）”，并开始制作表情包来庆祝他，比如这些：

比迪·布拉斯的走红要归功于配音演员理查德·萨默斯-卡尔弗特充满激情的演绎，尤其是他念比迪口头禅“scrib doon”（即“写下来”）的方式。这句话会卡在你脑子里：

而且有太多场合“scrib doon”是绝佳回应：

This week's Out of Touch Guide delves into the musical genre/sub-culture of "Loser Core," a pointed response to overly polished music and Instagram-polished fashion. We also define some slang, so if a young person says you have EBK or nods and says "GiGis" to you, you'll know whether you're being insulted or complimented. And then there's Biddy Blas, Star Wars fandom's newest Glub Shitto.
What is Loser Core and the Loser Core Playlist?
Loser Core is a growing subculture and musical style among young people. The music is influenced by indie, alternative, and lo-fi, with lyrics that tend toward depressing. They're usually about alienation, teen angst, and how hard it is to talk girls. Loser Core is like emo, but more homemade and more hopeless, or like grunge with less anger. Prominent Loser Core artists include Memo Boy and Wifiskeleton. Notable influences include Radiohead and Weezer.
The Loser Core look is anti-fashion: over-size, slouchy hoodies, anime T-shirts, digital watches, and beat-up sneakers. The personality type is alienated nerd with niche hobbies and few friends. So basically, depressed young people who gravitate to depressing music and a slobby look. No matter your age, I'm sure you knew (or were) this type of person when you were 17.
Here's a video that explains it a bit more:
So that's Loser Core, the genre and lifestyle. Explaining the prominence of the Loser Core Playlist is a little more complicated. Created on Spotify by depay178, LOSERCORE is a playlist of 155 songs in the Loser Core genre. Back in June, a TikTok user called @user406398991 started posted AI-generated cartoons to promote the LOSERCORE playlist. The videos feature a recurring cast of characters, are usually about music, and end with a recommendation to visit the LOSERCORE playlist. Here's an example:
The videos started appearing on a lot of people's feeds in October, raising the profile the musical genre and generating reenactment videos like this:
...as well as videos from artists who are confused at their own inclusion on the list, people selling rip-off merch, and people gate-keeping what Loser Core is and questioning the inclusion of some songs on what is becoming the canonical list. Also: a ton of videos asking, "why does this keep showing up on my feed?"
Online chatter about the playlist revolves around the perceived lack of quality of the videos, and why, exactly, someone would spend so much time promoting a playlist on Spotify when you can't monetize the followers it gets.

It's a good question. There are indirect ways this list could be making someone money—maybe there's a connection between the promotion and the bands on the list who get paid per stream—but I like to think it's just kids who identify with these artists and want other kids to hear what they're into, like people did with zines in the old days. We don't have to monetize everything, right?
What does "EBK" mean?
EBK stands for "Extreme Baller Knowledge." It goes beyond the sports reference to apply to to anyone who has deep knowledge of a subject. It's usually used ironically.
What does GiGis mean?
Pronounced like the name Gigi, "GiGis" comes from sports by way of gamer culture. The post game pleasantry "good game" has been a staple in sports since forever. Gamers adopted it and shortened it to "GG" in text. So GiGis is a way of saying "good game."
Viral video of the week: Biddy Blas
This week's viral video comes by way of a video game cut-scene. Star Wars: Galactic Racer was released on Oct. 6, and its breakout star has emerged: Biddy Blas. You won't find him in any of the Star Wars movies or TV shows. Biddy is only in this one game, and basically only exists as an opponent to be beaten in a race. But Biddy is too great to go out in obscurity. Just check him out:
Soon after the release of the game, fans dubbed Biddy the "best Glup Shitto (Star Wars background character with a silly name)" and started making memes to celebrate him, like these:
Biddy Blas' popularity is the result of voice actor Richard Summers-Calvert's spirited performance, particularly his reading of Biddy's catchphrase, "scrib doon," (i.e.: "Write that down."). The phrase gets caught in your brain:
and there are so many occasions when "scrib doon" is the perfect thing to say:
