    Not always though. It’s also for example the number of keys on a piano, which led the Flintstones to create a character called 88 Fingers Louie, a piano thief. Then many years later, a Chicago hardcore band took the name for themselves. They’re not coded racists, they just didn’t know. I love the number 88, I think it’s aesthetic, it divides nicely, it’s not square or a 10- factor but it’s even and an 11-factor so it stands out. I’m damned if I’m going to let neonazis take away fucking numbers.
