What the hell is this wearing hats cocked off to the side and back lately? Jesus, I want to go knock their hats off.

My old baseball coach would yell at us if our bangs were showing under the bill... no telling what the hell he'd do to these punk ass biotches... and if you are wearing your hat like that on this board, I've lost totally all respect for you.. I'm not even going to pretend to apologize.

(Edited by Peace Frog at 12:55 pm on Jun. 3, 2004)

I totally started that trend.

yeah whatever... I was in Rome to years ago and everybody was wearing their hats like that!!! Poseur!

chill the fuck out.

I am not Chinese!

Agreed. I have hated crooked, backwards (etc.) caps for the longest time. There are few things more disgusting than that.

if we're going to have a go at popular fashion trends, i wouldn't even know where to start--the crooked hats are a plague, but so is nearly everything else the kids are wearing these days...file it under "people who are not like us" and just thank God. of course, if i played along instead of swimming against the current, i might've had a girlfriend in the last four years...true, she'd be all tatted out with a highly visible thong and bloodcurdling musical preferences, but...ok, yeah, i think i'm better off dressing like an indie loser.

Ok, I really dislike these hats, especially when cocked.

i cant think of any hats that i dont like. i mean, trucker hats are over, but i never said i hated them, and i still dont. i even like berets. i went to france when i was 12 and made my parents search the country for a beret for me. actually, no, that was someone else. but, i did have a (raspberry) beret from the limited too in second grade that went with this mustard-colored double-breasted blazer and burgandy pencil skirt. i believe the corresponding tights were mustard and burgandy plaid. i[t] was hottt!

ohmigosh. i forgot about limited too. i was obsessed with that store.
such a stylish second grader.

I like it, because I automatically know that said individual is a douchebag.

Oddly enough, I had a dream the other night that I was in my parent's basement and my dog's head was chopped off. Somehow, I knew it was the 16 year old boy that lives next door. I walked outside and beat the living shit out of him, twice. He was wearing a hat cocked off to the side, white sneakers, baggy abercrombie and fitch jeans, a blue and white striped polo shirt, and studded earrings. At one point, I held his face against the pea-gravel driveway and punched him repeatedly. It was awesome.

since it's on topic, here's a list of trends that I hate, written a few months ago

1. Urban culture - TIRED.

2. "Mall" punks

3. xhardcorex music

4. Novelty tees

5. Streaking your hair. boys.

6. Anybody that uses the word "metrosexual" in reference to their own self, or in any sort of attempt to point out their "hipness".

7. Faux-country singers. I know you're pop, you know you're pop. Just stop wearing the animal print cowboy hat, lose the soulpatch, and give the sandblasted jeans to Goodwill.

8. Christian pop music

9. Modern rock

10. Old people that try to be young looking by dressing in the same manor as the pop-country artists.

11. People that drive Hummers. I know that you have money, but logically, are you going to do that much off-roading in Green Hills?

12. Church signs with phrases that try/fail to be witty. "ch ch...what's missing?...'ur' " I fucking hate those. Just put a bible quote or a special announcement on there, but don't give into this contemporary Christian bullshit.

13. People that complain to service station people about gasoline or cigarette prices. It's called taxation, legislative repercussions, and profit-making. Did you know that your local gas station owner is only making 3 cents on every gallon of gas that you buy? Don't fucking complain to them about the price, they have no control over it at all. Bitches. Cigarettes raise in price (mostly) because of the dumbasses that have filed lawsuits (and successfully won) against tobacco companies, because they *didn't know sucking smoke into their lungs could hurt them*. They also rise because the tobacco companies are trying to make up for the money that they lost in the master plan settlement with the government. All of which, I completely understand. We're pretty much paying to put the "Truth" commercials on tv.

14. The Atkins low-carb craze. People that are all about dietary trends can seriously blow me. All over town.

15. People that don't count my money back to me after a cash transaction. Handing me a fistful of change = you are a fucking moron. You cannot count. A computer does it for you. I am better than you.

16. People that save up shit-tons of change and don't go to CoinStar to exchange it. Sometimes I feel like bitch-slapping people that pay me in change (unless it's all quarters and close to $10).

17. Modified cars - The Fast & The Furious. You people sicken me. Mostly because you think that you are cool. You are not. at all. Neither is your car. You are both lame.

18. Baggy clothes

19. Sideburns shaved into some sort of pointed edge (or something equally stupid).

20. Muscles for the sake of having muscles.

21. People that say "holla", except for Ben Patton.

22. soulpatches

23. Abercrombie & Fitch...or any such brand that has their name plastered on the shirt.

24. Brand name shirts with numbers on them. see: rugby shirts, circa 2002

25. Kid Rock. You are not really country.

26. Pimped out SUVs

27. "Jersey"-esque guys, who manage to embody numerous things already mentioned

28. The tragically hip

Update...post-Luna Halo show (don't worry, I was paid $40 to go)...numerous offenders at this show (90% of the attendees), some of which sparked these new ramblings...

29. Guys with earrings (especially those with the gaping hole in their ear lobe)

30. Guys with gelled hair (not necessarily spiked)

31. People who wear ties with non-collared shirts. ughhh

32. People that drink PBR because it gives them indie cred

33. Sunglasses at night

34. Mismatching shades of any color denim (ex. dark blue jacket & light blue jeans)

35. Knit caps (unless they have a normal-looking, attractive color-scheme)

36. Baseball caps that are cocked to the side

37. Jesus-cross necklaces like the one the guy from Creed wears

38. Earthtones (most of the time)

39. Keith Urban

40. Aluminum bats

41. "lol", "lmao" or equally retarded internet crap

42. Jessica Simpson

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't even know what urban culture/music really means. Can someone explain?

The Atkins diet is one of the most ridiculous trends. I can't make it through one day without hearing some dumb sorority girl tell her "sister" how much she hates herself for allowing herself a bagel that morning.

And I just witnessed a cash transaction that is my biggest pet peeve of all time...cell phone use at the register. The cashier asked the customer 3 times if he wanted paper or plastic. Then the customer walked off without taking his 10 dollars in change and the cashier was nice enough to chase the still cell-attached customer down. I think on account of rudeness the cashier should have kept the money. Seriously seeing this shit bothers me to no end. No one is so important that he or she cannot spare a few seconds of direct human contact.

(Edited by etcetera at 9:13 pm on Jun. 4, 2004)

firstly, i agree wholeheartedly with most of that list--and i think that urban culture and music refers to rap/r&b and that whole lifestyle and culture associated with it...

it does.

Which once again proves my theory that Richard Dawson hates African-Americans.

shh, the grand wizard will be furious when he learns of your indiscretion

I used to think that disliking urban culture made me racist, but then I realized that the opposite is also true. Plus, there are as many white kids into it as there are people of different ethnicities.

I just meant that it's a vague and strange way to describe a genre of music.

yeah, i worried that it gave people the impression, at least, that i was racist...i've always known i'm the furthest thing from it...but i agree that enough white people have borrowed black culture over the years that it's no longer black culture, it's mainstream culture in a way...regardless of this, the term "urban" is a bit of a dated reference and it was very ambiguous to begin with...

Song: Everyone's A Little Bit Racist Lyrics

Princeton:
Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?

Kate Monster:
Sure!

Princeton:
Well, you know Trekkie Monster upstairs?

Kate Monster:
Uh huh.
Princeton:
Well, he's Trekkie Monster, and you're Kate Monster.

Kate Monster:
Right.

Princeton:
You're both Monsters.

Kate Monster:
Yeah.

Princeton:
Are you two related?

Kate Monster:
What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!

Princeton:
Oh, well, I'm sorry! I was just asking!

Kate Monster:
Well, it's a touchy subject.
No, not all Monsters are related.
What are you trying say, huh?
That we all look the same to you?
Huh, huh, huh?

Princeton:
No, no, no, not at all. I'm sorry,
I guess that was a little racist.
Kate Monster:
I should say so. You should be much more
careful when you're talking about the
sensitive subject of race.

Princeton:
Well, look who's talking!

Kate Monster:
What do you mean?

Princeton:
What about that special Monster School you told me about?

Kate Monster:
What about it?

Princeton:
Could someone like me go there?
Kate Monster:
No, we don't want people like you-

Princeton:
You see?!

You're a little bit racist.

Kate Monster:
Well, you're a little bit too.

Princeton:
I guess we're both a little bit racist.

Kate Monster:
Admitting it is not an easy thing to do...

Princeton:
But I guess it's true.
Kate Monster:
Between me and you,
I think

Both:
Everyone's a little bit racist
Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go
Around committing hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact
We all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.

Princeton:
Now not big judgments, like who to hire
or who to buy a newspaper from -

Kate Monster:
No!
Princeton:
No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican
busboys should learn to speak goddamn English!

Kate Monster:
Right!

Both:
Everyone's a little bit racist
Today.
So, everyone's a little bit racist
Okay!
Ethinic jokes might be uncouth,
But you laugh because
They're based on truth.
Don't take them as
Personal attacks.
Everyone enjoys them -
So relax!

Princeton:
All right, stop me if you've heard this one.
Kate Monster:
Okay!

Princeton:
There's a plan going down and there's only
one paracute. And there's a rabbi, a priest...

Kate Monster:
And a black guy!

Gary Coleman:
Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Kate?

Kate Monster:
Uh...

Gary Coleman:
You were telling a black joke!

Princeton:
Well, sure, Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes.

Gary Coleman:
I don't.

Princeton:
Well, of course you don't - you're black!
But I bet you tell Polack jokes, right?

Gary Coleman:
Well, sure I do. Those stupid Polacks!

Princeton:
Now, don't you think that's a little racist?

Gary Coleman:
Well, damn, I guess you're right.

Kate Monster:
You're a little bit racist.

Gary Coleman:
Well, you're a little bit too.

Princeton:
We're all a little bit racist.

Gary Coleman:
I think that I would
Have to agree with you.

Princeton/Kate Monster:
We're glad you do.

Gary Coleman:
It's sad but true!
Everyone's a little bit racist -
Kate Monster:
All right!

Princeton:
All right!

Gary Coleman:
All right!
Bigotry has never been
Exclusively white

All:
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
Even though we all know
That it's wrong,
Maybe it would help us
Get along.

Princeton:
Oh, Christ do I feel good.
Gary Coleman:
Now there was a fine upstanding black man!

Princeton:
Who?

Gary Coleman:
Jesus Christ.

Kate Monster:
But, Gary, Jesus was white.

Gary Coleman:
No, Jesus was black.

Kate Monster:
No, Jesus was white.

Gary Coleman:
No, I'm pretty sure that Jesus was black-

Princeton:
Guys, guys...Jesus was Jewish!
Brian:
Hey guys, what are you laughing about?

Gary Coleman:
Racism!

Brian:
Cool.

Christmas Eve:
BRIAN! Come back here!
You take out lecycuraburs!

Princeton:
What's that mean?

Brian:
Um, recyclables.
Hey, don't laugh at her!
How many languages do you speak?
Kate Monster:
Oh, come off it, Brian!
Everyone's a little bit racist.

Brian:
I'm not!

Princeton:
Oh no?

Brian:
Nope!

How many Oriental wives
Have you got?

Christmas Eve:
What? Brian!

Princeton:
Brian, buddy, where you been?
The term is Asian-American!

Christmas Eve:
I know you are no
Intending to be
But calling me Oriental -
Offensive to me!

Brian:
I'm sorry, honey, I love you.

Christmas Eve:
And I love you.

Brian:
But you're racist, too.

Christmas Eve:
Yes, I know.
The Jews have all
The money
And the whites have all
The power.
And I'm always in taxi-cab
With driver who no shower!

Princeton:
Me too!

Kate Monster:
Me too!

Gary Coleman:
I can't even get a taxi!

All:
Everyone's a little bit racist
It's true.
But everyone is just about
As racist as you!
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
And everyone stopped being
So PC
Maybe we could live in -
Harmony!

Christmas Eve:
Evlyone's a ritter bit lacist!
