Fuck your indie rock, mod, rudies, punks, emo kids, hardcore, and the rest of your bullshit <3

Really, now. I don't get these new "trends". I guess it's just the same old game with a different name. It's not so general anymore. It's not the jocks and the geeks and the preps. They've all mutated into a variety of subcategories and subcultures. It's. . . quite frankly, ridiculous. Why write about this? I dunno. No one ever really calls me by

Well, I don't see anything wrong with having a shopping spree at the thrift and then indulging yourself with a $10 frappucino at Starbucks. Because I do it. I like the thrift because I like 70's fashion - (ie Brady Bunch-ish, B-52's-ness) - and what better place to find poliester skirts and polka-dotted scarves then there? But at the same time, I am chronically addicted to good coffee. Is it my fault that such things are "hip" and "trendy" among today's subculture? No, it's not. I guess I'm sorry that my taste is so good that everyone seems to agree. =) (joke, hehe)

My point:
I understand how these trivial things annoy you; they annoy me, too. Because no one likes to see those kids that go to the thrift jsut to be "different" and "cheap" but then blow their allowance on a $12 latte because its cool. I see the financial irony and I understand why it's amusing when people only do these things because its "cool." But there are people out there that jsut so happen to like what's so called "trendy" not for the sake of it being popular but just by coincidence, or rather just because they do.

I'm just happy that I never had this whole issue about trying to fit in amongst a hierarchy or "popular" people. Maybe its because there are no popular people in my school because none of us really care? Or maybe its because I listen to A Flock of Seagulls and don't give a shit.
