In a way, Kolos is mainstream. Kolos is a part of pop culture that everyone thinks they know all too well. Because it’s cool. Because it’s exciting. Because it looks like it’s not fake. Because it looks good in pictures…

All those bruises, cracked heads and noses, blood, sweat, tattoos, long hair, bald heads, naked bodies in ecstasy, youth, love, brotherhood, industry, rough life, easy life, better life, life itself.

Hm… Let’s start again.

Kolos is not a part of pop culture, for nobody actually knows it. Nobody but Kolos alone. They know they’re moody, not cool, not the smartest, not the first in line. Gentle, hopelessly gentle and vulnerable. Shamefully romantic, so much that it hurts – more than a brow bone cut, more than a broken nose, more than a handful of teeth. Kolos knows it won’t scare us. Knows it possesses something important, and that we know why it is important. Knows it won’t make it. Doesn’t know it’s not fake, because of not knowing what fake is.

Kolos is important. Important to Kolos. It is important to know who you are and not forget it. And Kolos knows, and is unforgettable.
