The Urban Dictionary's definition of “losercore” is currently some kind of dumb inside joke but now deserves an update to mean “that which Lou Barlow is waiting for.”
He could be referring to the past year's so-bored kings of indie, or a return to the early 90s pre-grunge losers of yore, like, himself.
Eitherway, Lou Barlow's new EP Sentridoh III harks back to his solo moniker of the early 90s (“Sebadoh” + “Sentry” = “Sentridoh”!), and he's heading off on tour with the album and a backing band starting tomorrow.
