Reminds me of my sister-in-law. However, for her to aquire "the look", she'll spend hundreds on one outfit consisting of only the "best" "vintage looking, I payed to have someone else put holes in and age the appearance for only $135" jeans. Might I add she is also persuing an education and career as a "fashion merchandiser" so that she can follow all of the current trends and bring them to the masses. This in my eyes IS the "indie" cultural "anti-christ."
The "indie" cultural "anti-christ"? Heh.. okay, kids, repeat after me: Fashionistas and marketers will pick up on the "cool" "indie" trends and turn them into high-priced hollow copies of the "original', which -- and I know this is going to be the part that seriously blows all your minds -- is itself a hollow copy of a former "indie" trend!

I've been noticing that there are a lot of "popular" people who I used to school with (that's right, I used school as a verb) who have now changed their outward appearance to be more like, well, people that I hang out with - people who were outcasts throughout middle and high school. By "outcasts" I just mean that we weren't the popular blondes and jockletes whose names and stories were known by most of the student body, not necessarily the socially inept. They've all gotten emo and indie looking myspace pages and quoting lyrics of bands that I like and I'm sitting in front of my computer with my nerdy glasses on, watching Firefly and wondering if I really knew these people.
Is it just me or has being a outsider become popular among the "popular"? Does this mean I will be voted "most awesome" at my high school reunion?
and does anyone really understand what I am trying to say here?
If your theory is correct then there have to be a bunch of on this site
are they watching us right now?
