Youth culture - perhaps

As I am clearly over the hill and well on the way to being far away can
someone explain

a) who / what those bloody knitted things are that "star" in the
annoying Vauxhall Corsa adverts and go "C'Mon"?

b) why it is deemed to be the height of rap coolness to wander
round with your jeans hanging two thirds of the way down your arse so
the world can see what undies you are wearing?

Yours befuddled

 

My theory is that teenagers have to be different. This generation has
simply run out of ideas.

 

A teenager speaks.

"They're MTVs made up band of small fuzzy people who can only say
C'mon and Vauxhall are stupid if they think they are being hip by
using them"

"It's chavs that do that and as it has been established several times
that chavs have no brain, [1] it is a waste of time trying to assign
motive"

They're eclectic, they have so many influences to draw on. And getting
a bunch of them onto how they label themselves by calling them goths
is hugely entertaining.

Son told me that the police came over to him and 4 friends who were
sitting in the square today 'We've had some calls about intimidating
youths, clearly it's not you lot, though some might say 5 part harmony
on bohemian rhapsody is uncalled for'

[1] I'm going to have to have the "chavs are people too" chat again.

Given this and the sudden outbreak of twangery chez-WIP, it is clear
that they are planning to entry next year's X-Factor.

I'd suggest euthanasia at the earliest opportunity.

Sounds all right to me. Political correctness can go to far.

 

Yet they chose builders as a sartorial model?

 

Most of us, like them, just followed the rest of the flock.

Baa.

The question is: who leads the flock?

 

**** knows, but I bet they burn easily.

Apparently it's because cons in the US aren't allowed belts so their
jeans hang off them.

Toxic Shock Syndrome Gets More Girls Than Me

 

<shudder> Never. They'd need parental permission, not a chance of
getting that from either of us.

Daughter is watching it when she goes to her Father's. She's enamoured
by the one called Ben. Apparently last week was a nail biting finish,
but said Ben was not eliminated. She trotted off upstairs and about
quarter of an hour later the ex called up 'They've just announced
there was a miscalculation on the voting and it is Ben that's been
eliminated'.

Cue much shrieking before he went 'only kidding'. It's things like

Don't think it hasn't been considered. Still, not long now and I'm
free, free I tell you <wanders off cackling>

 

My two don't. Though the youngest tried to argue a volcano was a type
of building earlier.

 

I think geek kids and/or nerds, call 'em what you will, are fashion leaders
but are totally unaware of it.

Gentlemen, look at the facts:

Mum spits down an unruly cowslick and spiky hair is invented.
Hand-me-down trousers lead to those 3/4 length things becoming the thing to
wear.
Trousers tucked into socks due to the lack of bicycle clips but forgotten
about and left like it all day? Trendyyyyyyy!
Ol' nerdy couldn't concentrate enough to find two matching socks, suddenly
you're uncool if you wear two the same.
School tie three inches long due to being cut off by the nasty big boys?
Heyyyy coooooool!
Shoe laces snapped, too geeky to buy more so just tucked the broken ends in
and inspired millions of teens to do the same.
Speaking in a strange voice/accent in the hope others will pay them some
attention. A'ite?

 

Veggie Dave says...

Why don't the cons just get issued with trousers that fit.

 

*ding*

I'm sure the youth of today feel similarly about your beard and morris
dancing.

Horses for courses.

 

Ouch!

To be fair Morris dancers don't actually go gaily prancing around
day-to-day with bells on their knees, hitting people with sticks and
encouraging accordion players to practice their black art.

What's the difference between wannabee gangsters, goths, rockabillies
and punks anyway? They're all sheep. Why pretend it's anything other
than the desire to express their individuality by joining a group?

 

Soylent Green.

 

We don't?

Must have been doing it all wrong.

And you forgot the beer.
