TRES.

Another tear in the sea.
Another drop in the ocean.
After the fall,
Waiting to sink.

Oh, solo mio.

It's all right now.
Come closer,
Talk to me.

(Lolli)pop Culture

An offshoot of pop culture, an underground movement, spreading quicker than ever thanks to the creation of the internet, and based around an obsession for decadence. Mostly consists of girls aged 15-20. The children of lollipop culture could be described as pseudo-beatniks, or the Dadaists of the 21st century. Often preferring to live in a fantasy world of vintage dresses, haikus, and titbitty talk*. Sometimes there is depression involved, or social rejection, but this is not always the case. They think quick, and judge quicker. Everything must be "prettie" and nonsensical .. the stuff dreams are made of. Don't forget, this culture is simply an escape from the drudgery of the real world.

Dress codes;

# Vintage clothes. (~1950s era)
# Glam / diamante / kitsch jewellery.
# Fairy wings.
# Glitter.
# Mary janes.

Favoured music in (lolli)pop culture;

# Ani DiFranco.
# Portishead.
# Sneaker Pimps.
# Moby.
# Manic Street Preachers.
# Björk.

A child of (lolli)pop culture;

# Listens to trip hop/bubblegum pop/old skool-style music.
# Has vacant eyes.
# Has some deep love for the (indigo) sky, the stars and the moon.
# Is intelligent, or at least creates the illusion of intelligence.
# Writes constantly. (this is not always true)
# Dreams of becoming a rockstar. (again, this is not always true)
# Has covert plans for revolution.
# Is always an idealist.

*A way of communicating that involves batting "prettie" sentences back and forth.

hm, well i know some girls on livejournal that fit that fold perfectly. you can go to their livejournals and see how un-lolli(pop) i am. and i don't like the manic street preachers, i just like Richey Edwards.
all of the the girls tend to be around thirteen years old, and they seem to always love what i write and say. very strange.
here are some examples:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/cherrycigarette/ (she rocks)
http://cheap-irony.diaryland.com/
http://www.livejournal.com/users/exploding_skirt/

they also say "yr" a lot, & TYPE LIKE TH!S;.
yeah. it bugs.
and they also write a lot about how their lives are so cool but they don't really say what they do in their lives. and they try to throw off this sort of alternative image, but when you see pictures of them or look on the walls in the backround of photos it's obvious that they're really not who they claim to be at all. a lot of them are in the midwest. try figuring that one out.

and they always steal my stuff.

You're (yr) so smart. I'm sorry for confusing you for one of them. You make them sound rather pathetic. I thought they sounded so adorable at first.

I wore my/Lara's green jacket last night (to The Lovemakers) and I re-read my treasured love-letter from you.

**Gush**.
