Okay, I wrote this entry this morning in a fit of anger and just made it private because I didn't think anyone would be reading it anyway (its ridiculously long), and honestly I didn't want to piss anyone off with my sweeping generalizations. This is all very obvious stuff that's been said time and time again by almost everyone, but its just been

the acrynom (wtf) LES is really
really lame. if i go to nyc and
they're calling LOWER EAST SIDE that,
i'll go insane.

you know, i liked reading your vent.
it was enlightening and i realised
a lot of the stuff you pointed out.

i usually feel really retarded for
talking about shows and music and keeping
a livejournal and i feel hypocritical all the time.
but at least i know i'm not going to urban outfitters
to look trendy and that i still use a cassette player.
so, whatever.

but yes, i liked reading that. :)

i'm glad you enjoyed reading it!
i feel the same way, and agree its reassuring when you know you like something more for simple enjoyment rather than putting so much intention into it.
i was on cassettes for the longest time! i would be still, if my cassette player didn't need tape to hold itself together. i have so many cassettes i haven't heard in years :(

i feel that it's a misnomer to call those people 'yuppies.'

have you seen american psycho? i don't think he would have listened to franz ferdinand if he was real and in our time.

right, i guess the type of person typically considered a "yuppie" (a la american psycho) probably doesn't bother with franz ferdinand, etc. but i'm specifically thinking a lot of people i know of, who are pretty much fresh out of college, holding pretty good jobs, and spending a lot of money, because they can, on keeping up with shows and bars and all that. granted, if you're lucky enough to have money, spend it, but i feel like they're pushing out younger, less advantaged people.
