Things that should be buried with the last decade

[KickTheBobo]

We need a fresh start in 2010, culture-wise. It's time to bury some of this shit!

1. anything "Rock Star" related
2. the massive amount of digital photography. I propose a 15 picture per day limit on taking pictures.
3. internet gross-out videos
4. Hyper-Sexuality in public. The young folks need to learn that it's tasteful to NOT post all your private bidness to the world
5. Star-fucking-Wars, and anything referencing it
6. The whole American Apparel, Terry Richardson aesthetic (see below)



7. Cocaine
8. White Guys with Dreads
9. Extreme Gluttony shows (Man Vs. Food)
10. Top-anything lists

1. Autotune.
2. Friends who think anywhere but Hollywood is "The New Hollywood." (New Orleans)
3. The Urban Outfitters flannel long sleeve shirt pandemic.
4. Bike riders' assumed superiority.
5. Spike on The Best Show.
6. The use of the phrase "With the economy the way it is."

I agree with everything on your list except #6 (erotic), #7 (very fun in moderation), and #9 (a lesser show of this type would be horrid, but the very likable Mr. Richman makes MvF work).

Let's get rid of the young folks altogether.


Who's with me?  Other than Sarah I mean.

1. Excessive display.
2. <Some Shit> is the new <Other Shit>.
3. Pecking at your Iphone/Blackberry constantly like you were brought up with zero social skills.
4. Bedazzles/Studs/Rhinestones on anything unless you 10 years or below
5. Saying you are "just a big kid" to justify spending inordinate amounts of money on overpriced crap you don't need but like to collect anyway.
6. Frottage in the subway. (Only if one-sided; if mutual, pls move to below list at position #7)
7. War/Bad Stuff/Mean People/Conservatives/Paper Cuts/Torn elastic on fave pair of undies etc etc.

Things that must never be buried, now or forever more:

1. Pictures of cute animals.
2. Videos of cute animals.
3. Calendars of cute animals.
4. Blogs of cute animals.
5. Book deals for blogs of cute animals.
6. Books of pictures from the blogs of cute animals that sit at the registers of our fine nation's bookstores, waiting for your impulse purchase gland to activate.

3. Pecking at your Iphone/Blackberry constantly like you were brought up with zero social skills.

I propose: Taking the phone out and placing it on the table when you are eating at a restaurant. I don't care if your buddy might call.

Also Teabaggers.

Hey, I like the youngsters as much as the oldsters.

10. Top-anything lists

You can take away my hyper-sexuality but you'll never get my lists!

10. Top-anything lists

you'll never get my lists!

Seconded.

Here's my short list
1. Ignorance
2. Lack of compassion
3. Designer dogs
4. Reality shows

[Stupornaut]

1. People bitching about hipsters. All kinds of obnoxious knee-jerk identity politics getting thrown at people regardless of their intentions, people just getting reduced to their marketing-centered component parts. Gawker named Carles their Hipster of the Year; they should've gone the Time route and bestowed it upon "You" instead.

2. Geek triumphalism. The appeal of geekiness before this decade is that these people (of which I was kinda one in high school) knew that they were still relatively powerless and had to find solidarity with fellow weirdo outcasts where they could, even if they couldn't see eye to eye on everything, and then eventually they'd graduate high school and find out that the world actually wasn't out to invalidate them, and maybe they'd lose the persecution complex and grow up a bit into genuinely fascinating idiosyncratic people. Now there's too many overgrown manchild types whose every whims are breathlessly catered to by Hollywood and the video game industry and the internet, and geek culture has this weird sense of spoiled, complacent, bullying, nostalgia-slave entitlement to it now. Geeks are the hippies of our times. I think that makes Harry Knowles our Wavy Gravy.

[ChrisRawk]

1. Fox News and the pundits.
2. Celebration of Youtube stupidity.
3. Teen sex comedies (how many American Pie movies do we need?)
4. Weezer (it's just not cute anymore)
5. The economy sucking
6. Zombie movies (the good ones have all been done, enough already)
7. Top 100 lists.
8. Home decorating shows.   

[fletcher munson]

1. crocks
2. uggs
3. men's sports sandals

[dave from knoxville]

1. Autotune.
2. Friends who think anywhere but Hollywood is "The New Hollywood." (New Orleans)
3. The Urban Outfitters flannel long sleeve shirt pandemic.
4. Bike riders' assumed superiority.
5. Spike on The Best Show.
6. The use of the phrase "With the economy the way it is."

"Autotune" should also be 2, 3, and 4, and "People who disagree with dfk" should be 5. Otherwise, carry on.
