I feel exactly the same as Matt at A Whole Lotta Nothing regarding askew baseball hats and MySpace:
I always secretly hoped I’d never grow old and unhip, but every few months I’m reminded that the world is passing me by.
It all started with the askew hats. Two or three years ago I was walking down the street and saw some guys wearing baseball caps with the bills pointed off at crazy angles, like their hat was making a left turn but their head hadn’t caught up. Every time I see a kid with his hat all akimbo I want to grab his arms, smack him in the face, and straighten his hat out. It’s irrational, I know, but drives me crazy in a “get the hell off my lawn you crazy kids!” sort of way.
The online equivalent of this is of course, MySpace… Apple has made the iPod the most popular music player on earth, but it’s clean as a whistle. How could the same people love their super sleek music player and also love the gaudy oversaturated flashing/pulsating monstrosity of their MySpace profile?
