What on earth, may I ask, is considered cool?
I seriously, seriously have no idea. I've been reading some stuff lately, and I think it's plain weird.
Like, the school is divided into many many cliques, such as:
The Plastics
-pretty
-popular
-bitchy
-rules the school
-feared by anyone and everyone
The Goody-2-Shoes
-smart
-teacher's pet
-tattletales
-raises their hand to answer everything before the teacher even finishes their question
-never fails to complete their homework
The Nerds
-face perpetually in a book
-speaks only in computer language
-perfect grammar
-straight A students
-24/7 tuition
The Loners
-don't mix with anyone
-generally weird
-generally good-looking
-pulls wing off flies and eats them
-listens to Dream Theater, Pantera, Nirvana and fantasize about being Kurt Cobain
The Wannabes
-hang around with plastics
-listen to 'punk rock' music or whatever everyone else is into
-have pet sisters/brothers
-desperate for boyfriends
-shrivel and die when deprived of their handphones
The Pseudo-goth 'Artists'
-black nails
-black/red clothes
-likes blood
-believe they're vampires
-'artistic'
The Band Geeks
-see 'Yi Ling'
I'm serious, that's what the magazine said! Well, almost everything.
Now, I don't see these kind of people around. So where the hell do these magazines get their material from?
They made it all up, that's what.
They made it up to try and brainwash youngsters into buying brands like Nike and Billabong and listen to washed out 'pop-punk' like The Click Five or whatever.
So that, in 10 years time, we grow up and divide into the aforementioned sects so that the media can control our brainwashed minds and make us do whatever they want.
For example:
The Coke companies will cut a deal with Seventeen magazine to make The Plastics drink Coke, so that The Wannabes will follow them and earn them lots of profit by that alone.
Then, The Goody-2-shoes, being the do-gooders that they are, will start a campaign on how bad Coke is for your health, thus popularising Coke further, since no one ever listens to the goody-2-shoes.
After that, The Loners, wanting to diss the goody-2-shoes for being puppets of 'the system', will start drinking Coke, in an act of defiance.
This act will be followed by The Nerds, who secretly idolise and want to be like The Loners, and try to clear their somewhat stinky reputation by drinking Coke as well.
Then, the Pseudo-goth Artists, making up the rest of the student population, being rebels, will rebel and start boycotting Coke and start drinking Pepsi.
Oh, and The Band Geeks, of course, remain indifferent. (But secretly drink Pepsi as well, because behind that 'I love my trumpet or snare drum' facade, they are dying to be like the mysterious Goths, blood-worship and all.)
Then Coke, Pepsi and Seventeen magazine laugh, shake hands, count their profits and call it a day.
We SO are puppets in the truly scheming hands of the media.

Well, lets face it, people.
In real life, The Plastics are no one but people with supersized egos that think they're pretty and popular and all that shit. Not that anyone actually cares about them.
Except The Wannabes, which will exist in any generation, no matter what. But since everyone else ignores The Plastics, The Wannabes are automatically become non-existent to the public eye. Except when they are being ridiculed and taunted for their absolute lameness and bad taste.
The Goody-2-shoes grow up to be shunned, but get their revenge when they become president of a large continent and bomb your country or whatever.
As for The Nerds, they'll be laughing their asses off when you become dependant on their multi-million-dollar-making software (except for those few sensible ones who use Apple) while they live in a beach-fronted villa in Miami, and are being served martinis (shaken, not stirred) by young maidens in bikinis.
The Loners grow up to be depressed and eventually shoot themselves in the head, so no worries there.
What about The Band Geeks?
...*thinks*...
Bah, who cares about band geeks anyway? (Wahahaha)

That is so cliched! Everyone in school is more like one big rojak with a few bits and pieces sticking out.
Who wrote that article? That girl must still be reading too many Sweet Valley books. Not SVH or SVU, mind you. Haha.
Anyway, what's pankake festival? Free pancakes ah? I want I want!
Haha =P
Frat Party at the Pankake Festival = Coveted Linkin Park CD
After so, so long! Found at 55 bucks, which I let gee ee pay! =P
Chehhh.. I thought got a real pancake festival. I heart pancakes!
WTF....i nearly vomit blood... -_-
neway.....so i'm proud to be a band geek ....
*tounge out*
quite true anyway....except for the band geek one... *looks ceiling*
the part where u mention bout the coke thingy... i think you'll make a great business woman!
Okay, this is so random, but punk rock is good. Well, not pop punk la, pop of any sort just blows. But Rise Against is simply wonderful.
You have pretty good taste in music, besides, well, Britney and Linkin Park. But Nirvana, Guns N roses, Incubus, Oasis are all pretty good. You might like Metallica and Within Temptation. Hoobastank were good (crawling in the dark, out of control) but they getting very pop these days la.
Slipknot and System of a Down are great if you like a slightly heavier scene.
And I really should get to sleep. Argh. Holidays have screwed up my biological clock. Probably end up sleeping at 8am again or something.
Sorry for disturbing you with my randomness. It's not right for you to suffer for my shortcomings.
Ooh, I like some SoaD songs, the guitarist(s?) is awesome, but their vocalist simply anoys me sometimes. Same goes for Slipknot. Maybe I listen to them once in a while, but I just get annoyed. -shrug-
And hey! Everyone has been through that Britney phase, ok? =P
And no one, no one, insults my Linkin Park! -pout-
Well, Linkin Park is probably a phase for you too =P I have their album meteora, bought in my younger days. In a year or two, you'll wake up and go, WTF was I thinking?
*cough*
Yeah, SoaD is good, I really like the energy of their songs, even the sillier ones like 'Bounce' or 'Psycho', which just cracks me up. I mean, the chorus for Bounce is just frickin hilarious. 'Jump! Pogo-pogo-pogo-pogo Jump!'. I rather like the vocalist, but you're right, too much of him gets annoying.
Speaking of annoying voices, Muse has a tendency to annoy me after a while. I mean, I *love* 'Time is running out', 'The Small Print', and newer songs like 'Exo-Polotics', but stuff like 'Blackout', 'Assassin', 'Knights of Cydonia' just really really really grate on me after a while.
I like the Slipknot choruses; I think they balance out the whole song very nicely. Some of the chorus melodies are actually very nice, and the contrast with the rougher parts are quite pleasant.
Is My Chemical Romance good? I only have Helena and All I want for Christmas Is You. Just deleted some songs from ipod, so have about 100MB to spare (Wah, 2gig really not enough la).
On lighter rock, Grinspoon is pretty fun too. Or if you prefer Metalcore; maybe Atreyu or A static Lullaby?
I really think you would like Rise Against though; I don't mind sending you some oneday, although how might be a different question (I have all their songs, including B side, except for Built to Last. So annoying la.)
Haha, MCR's ok.
Atreyu annoys me no end though. The voice is like cheese going througha grater.
=P
