word to yo motha

Ok everyone, I promise that after this article there will be no more about preppy emo kids from me. But upon hearing this new word/adjective, I felt obligated to spread the news about the new lingo forming in our current pop culture. Emocrombie as you may have already guessed is the creative and innovative cross between the styles of Abercrombie & Fitch and the growing trend of thrift clothing that matches an elephant's ass. A style donned by none other than rich kids who yearn for acceptance from everyone and their uncle.

What happened to the days where wearing a studded belt was reserved for the punks? Now it has made its way into the loops of 80 dollar rags from Abercrombie. People, come on. It looks like shit. By far I would have to say this is the worst fad to hit middle America since the Macarena.

Remember when "preps" used to bash on the punk kids because they looked goofy in their tight pants or the fact that their hair contained a rainbow of colors? I do. And over time it seems that the line between these two groups has blurred and formed a big brown area in the middle I will aptly name "The Shit Pot". It seems now that since punk/hardcore has become so popular, it was only proper that the majority of the Abercrombie sportin' kids went along with the flow and started trying to weasel their way into the punk scene anyway possible. Even if it meant wearing a belt containg little metal pyramids. Well now that these kids have tried to make a mark in the punk world and failed, they now land in the Shit Pot. They don't realize that they have horribly failed to make it into their desired scene, so they continue to make themselves look like dumbasses. The Shit Pot is considered home to the "posers".

Now, since you obviously can't have someone being more punk than you, one is forced to drop into the downward spiral of fagdom. This happens when a person already deemed a punk can't take the fact that their culture is now popular. So in effect, he/she begins to don a punker-than-thou attitude, and they begin to listen to shittier and shittier bands, and wear shittier and shittier clothing. The downward spiral keeps going past the point where you call bands sell-outs when they play a venue bigger than the back of a van, all the way to the day when you're sitting in your room alone listening to the new album from <insert generic hardcore band name that makes no sense at all>, and you have an epiphany about what a gigantic flaming douchebag you've become.

So to all the kids that have yet to realize they have become douchebags, just wait. The day will come, and you will feel so stupid, believe me I've gone through it.

Peace,
