A couple of weekends ago GAC and I went to West Town Mall for something or other, and it really dawned on me that I just don’t like these people.
Who? Well, really any of em. I’ve always found myself disliking groups, but liking individuals, but its getting worse as time goes on. And who can blame me? Heres whats at the mall:
- Dumbassed rich teenage girls. It gets old seeing these rich Paris Hilton wannabe’s running around on their cellphones, spending Mommy and Daddy’s money at AE or whatever trendy crap store they shop at today.
- Rednecks are something I never could stomach, and now they’re getting press thanks that that Larry the cable guy “get r done” bullshit. Man, if I hear some idiot tell me that one more time I’m going to beat them until my arms fall off. These people should be crammed up into their trailers, or at least Walmart, why the hell make them cultural icons? Its just like when Billy Ray Cyrus started making mullets popular again in the 90s, we just don’t need this kind of crap.
- Goth/Punk kids. OK, I admit it, I had a mohawk in high school. And some of college. And I probably looked stupid. But at least I was the only one looking stupid like this. Yes, lets express our individuality, children, by jumping on board a 30 year old fashion trend. If punk wasn’t dead with Crass was shouting it in the ’70s, crap like Green Day and NOFX has killed it now.
Its ugly, but what is there to defend in western culture and society these days?

OK, I guess I am looking at mall culture, which is a whole other thing.

Man, you’re well on your way to curmudgeonhood.

Its sad, isn’t it? I seem to, by default, dislike younger people. Who saw that coming?

Not many people know this, but there is an invention created by
Dr. Frink (a’la The Simpsons) which he called the De-DumbULater
which sucks the mental capacity of mall entrants down to the level
of the common vole.

“Yes, lets express our individuality, children, by jumping on board a 30 year old fashion trend. “
I had trouble with something similar to that in high school. Sure, I dressed and acted differently from most everyone in the mainstream, but in all my “individuality,” I was no different from any of my friends who were doing the exact same thing. It used to bug me, but it doesn’t really anymore. Individuality doesn’t just sprout out of nothing - it has to have roots or influences somewhere - be it in friends, old fashion trends, music genres…
That being said, most everything about the mall irritates the wee out of me.
