These Darn Youngins!

My god do I hate people who try to hard to "be" something. Unfortunately, it seems to be a problem that's plaguing a whole generation. My generation (insert Who reference here). People nowadays want to be cool, I guess. It's sickening. It's easy to find these people attractive at first glance, but do not get to know them. Everybody who tries to get to know these people is sorely let down. They seem cool don't they? Well they only like that movie because Jack White told them to. And they only listen to that band because Lou Reed likes them.

Now, I love Lou Reed and Jack White, but you gotta admit that they got some crazy taste. I certainly think that the White Stripes are better than the Raconteurs. In my opinion, they aren't equally good. Yes, the Raconteurs have had brief shining moments, but not nearly as many as the White Stripes have had. And Lou is fabulous in every way, I can't say anything bad about him. But you gotta have your own opinions. For instance, Pineapple Express did not introduce me to MIA. There you go. I personally think that $20 is a better song than Paper Planes, but whatever.

I have been let down by these "hipsters" before. But the really cool people and the fakers all look the same nowadays. I say give them a shot, and ask a lot of questions. If you aren't having good conversation, and their hogging all the attention, and what they're saying sounds completely vapid and out of nowhere, chances are they're wannabes.

That's right. Wannabes. Hahaha!
