The return of poshness
Yes, I should be revising for tomorrow's final, but I'm sick of Heidegger not in the mood, so instead I checked my email account and found this:
www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/dec/16/the-return-of-poshness
(Courtesy of my English teacher, because despite being born in Argentina she's got a Brit soul and reads The Guardian/watches the BBC, and whenever she comes across an article I may find interesting, she sends it to me^^)
Funny coincidence, 2 weeks ago the main article on ADN (a weekly culture magazine) was about snobbery, AND last Saturday Sebastian and I had a chat about it, and how I used to be I am a snob. The reasons listed? I read Milan Kundera's books, listen to King Crimson, used to go to indie gigs of Argentine alternative rock bands...and wanna go to the Opera next year to see Madame Butterfly^^'
Don't take it the wrong way, I'm far from feeling offended by this accusation. Moreover, I declare myself guilty! Yeah, guilty and proud!
So now I want to know...how 'bout you guys?Do you consider yourself somewhat posh/snobs/hipsters? If so, examples are requested!:D
