The new year is almost here, and fans of arbitrary starting points tend to use it as a time to make resolutions for ways they want to change their lives. Do you need a little extra motivation to try and get yourself going in 2016? Or maybe do you just want to feel bad about yourself? Then the website supbowie.com is perfect for you.
The ethos of the website is set up with the simple, yet garish, text that greets you: “What did David Bowie do at your age?” You type in your age, and the website tells you something that Bowie did at said age. Sometimes, the entry includes helpful video and or photographic evidence of what weird, yet incredibly successful, thing Bowie did at the time.
Bowie is a strong choice for such a website. Not only is he one of the eminent icons of modern music, but he’s also been prolific well into his more advanced age, so even older people using this site can’t feel comfortable resting on their laurels. Additionally, the website includes biographic bits from Bowie’s childhood, and they also have a prediction for Bowie’s future, in case you happen to be older than the erstwhile Thin White Duke.
So if you want to compare yourself to Bowie, or are just interested in his life, check out this website. Did you know that at age 30 he sang in a completely made up language on the song “Subterraneans?” Your move, 30-year-olds.
