Rude Roots: Aimy

Hi! Yes, I’m doing very well!

Exactly! I was born in Paris. I really love big cities!

I grew up with my two parents in this beautiful Parisian city. I have traveled a lot and family is very important to me.

All about the music 🎵

Omg haha! Sometimes I have a Punk look, sometimes Skinhead and other days I’m more like a metalhead! You know, it all depends on the mood of the day. I don’t have a well-defined style.

Fred Perry represent the subculture in in a very nice way. Same goes for Dr. Martens. There’s a huge history behind those brands and that’s why I love it so much.

Noooooo! Don’t ask me THAT question haha! I have toooo many different outfits. If I knew I had to wear the same outfit for the rest of my life… Well, that would be unimaginable for me. I like to vary colours and styles so much but in general I always wear Dr. Martens. That’s for sure!

I’ve been in the skinhead, punk rock scene for about three years, I don’t know what to say about evolution, but I’m doing very well at this point in my life. Others can think what they want. but I live for what I love and I think that’s something everyone should do!

I think the future for our generation is quite promising. We have ambitions, desires, rage, anger, but also joy that defines our generation. A very enthusiastic generation despite all the things that cover our modern world. We are united and full of hope.

I can be very nice, but when you piss me off I can be quite angry. I hate jerks in general…

I love pogos, walls of death, slams, all those things that bring people together while developing energy of joy. But at the same time it’s something like rage or envy. In those moments, we together release a force, and I think that’s something magical.

I must admit that I don’t recall my first pogo experience that well, but I’m certain it did take place at a small punk concert. I recall one at a Les Ramoneurs De Menhirs gig. What I particularly enjoy about those moments, and what I highly value, is the sense of freedom that comes from moving one’s body in unison with others, for one’s own enjoyment.

I am currently studying Art, but my passion lies in creating film and theater sets as well as special effects. These are the types of work that I typically showcase on my artistic social media account. However, I have also deep dived into graphic design, which I occasionally share on my account as well. I enjoy working with a variety of materials, including tablets, saws, resin, and plaster. While I appreciate the opportunity to work with different ways of working, I also enjoy the quiet focus of working on my computer.

I have no actual message. About my works: in general, I make things that go through my head that I enjoy doing, like logos or plastic creations. I see myself more as a craftsman than an artist. That may be why my work typically lacks a profound message, even though there is a general recognizable style that tends to have a somewhat distressed appearance.

Music, cinema, theatre and cooking haha!

I like a variety of things: from Blues to Metal to Ska and from Country and Jazz back to some Hardrock and of course Punk. As long as there is a guitar, some bass, a drummer and a singer it’s probably something I like.

About my top 5: I would say B.B. King, Les Ramoneurs De Menhirs, Limp Bizkit, The Skatalites and Rob Zombie.

Really diverse. The beauty of this alternative world lies in its diversity, which appeals to a wide range of individuals, from the youngest to the oldest, including punk rockers, partygoers, and skinheads.

Yes, politics! When someone tries to talk to me or my friends about politics, it often ruins our evening. As someone who is apolitical, I don’t understand why certain opinions need to be shared during a concert where everyone is supposed to be enjoying themselves without being divided by different speeches that can be just as boring as each other. When I attend a concert, it’s primarily to see the artist perform, not to be confused or hear nonsense about the world around us. I prefer to live in the present moment and it’s a shame that nowadays it seems like everything is politicized. Why can’t we all just have a good time together, shouting, laughing, crying, and going wild? There’s nothing better than meeting great people after a concert and having fun to the fullest.

I hope to become a great tattoo artist. We’ll see what happens! Hahaha!

Never! Haha! Once you have experienced the world of music at its highest level, the pinnacle, and the apogee, it’s hard to settle for anything less. There’s nothing else that can compare or be as interesting, and it becomes a lifelong passion.

Thank you for this nice talk. It’s super interesting to be able to share my passion, my emotions, my desires. I love talking about those subjects! Thanks! Big kisses to everyone!
