Really not as cool as you think

In the things-that-made-me-chuckle department, from this page:

Dear person in their 20’s who thinks that having a tattoo, listening to Imogen Heap, wearing Converses, and collecting Absolut paraphenalia makes you different:

You’re not. Everyone under 30 has a tattoo. Everyone listens to Imogen Heap. Everyone wears Converses. Everyone loves the Absolut bottle. When I go out at night, I can’t spit in the air without hitting a Scene Kid who wears his mama’s leggings and flat-irons his hair for the sake of “indiviuality.” Imagine a kid in the 1980’s who thinks that his moussed hair and loud neon shirts make him stand out in the crowd. That’s you—you’re the 2008 version of him.

And as another poster says on the same page, it’s not just people in their 20s either.
