Let’s play a
quick game. It won’t take long, and it
won’t be hard. Here’s how it will work:
I’m going to ask you a question, you think of the answer, and then we see if
you’re right or not. Sounds fun,
right? Let’s give it a whirl. Who won the World Series in 1984? Did you say
the Detroit Tigers? If you did, you were
right. Here’s another one, just for
kicks: Which came first, Blackwater Park or
Leviathan? Blackwater
Park you say? My, you’re good at this.
Ok, enough practicing, let’s break out the real deal. What’s a name for a sub sect of society that
is pretentious, overbearing, and spiteful toward those who think differently
about pop culture than they, dresses in a manner deemed to be “weird” to the
mainstream, and often views music, movies, et al in terms of absolutes rather
than subjectively? Cue the “Jeopardy”
theme… ok. Got your answers? Raise your hand if you said “hipsters.” Well that’s cute, and somewhat accurate, but
it’s not what I was going for.
