Check our web page at http://www.4.0andGo.com ► JACOB'S LADDER CC/L TC/R£ SMOCK Trendy styles become attitudes of today 1 s youtl O ur society values nothing more than “the individual,” with the possible of job exception loyalty and personal honesty, two-for-one sales, leather insoles, McCoy pottery, Mi crosoft stock, duct tape, microwaveable burrito dinner platters and colored chalk — come to think of it, “the in dividual” does not Jacob HUVAL necessarily rank too highly on contempo rary culture’s value scale at all. Actually, “the individual” ranks some where between artificially flavored bacon snips for dogs and soup stains for dads. Al though our standards are elsewhere, modern Americans try their best to be individuals, unique in apparel and at least somewhat noteworthy in smell. There are basically two schools of thought concerned with individuality. One school maintains the future is the key to originality, and innovation breeds stylistic inspiration and outward uniqueness. The other school thinks what their parents wore in high school is “really cool!” Retrograde culture — besides being a con tradiction, this phrase seems to have taken up American time and creative drive for the past decade. Regression to days past is just one of the many natural steps people take in coming to the realization that they are no longer “with it.” Some other steps those on their way out the “cool” doors take include buying a sports car, dating someone at least eight years younger and leading the industry in computer software. In hopes of rationalizing the madness of retro-culture, dishing over $25 for the same butterfly-collar shirt one’s father spent $8 while in high school and en compassing the gist of their efforts, the retro- crazed uphold the credo, “If we do it again, we may do it right!” Despite being preoccupied with trying to emulate the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s and even the ’20s, the “Anybody But Me” generation has been able to create a few unique trends in contemporary culture. “Grunge” has been touted as original and instrumental in the development of musical culture — but think about it — Nirvana’s Kurt Kobain was not too original, think of him as Janis Joplin without estrogen pills. In personal apparel, the Gap made an im provement on the face of Americans — al though this refers only to the line of David Letterman-endorsed dental hygiene prod ucts. The 1990s also created a slang unique in its own definition. “Whack," a term em ployed by many youth, when used in con junction with a subject and a present- tense connective, indicates that the said subject is exceedingly good or at least ac ceptable — unless one is in the mob, then it means something totally different. Similar to “whack” is “phat,” which is analogous to “tight,” which leads many to believe that Dom Delouise in spandex is the most wonderful thing in the world. So how does one keep up with what is in style, that all-elusive, ever-changing monstrosity? Sadly enough, the tactic em ployed by the young and old alike is to take notes while watching MTV. As an al ternative, here is a three-part diagnosis of what is currently hip that may prove to be helpful in increasing one’s popularity: 1) Eyesight is out — no one seems to think of it as “cool” to trust one’s eyes any more. This explains why so many stumble about with baseball caps socked over their faces. 2) More pockets, less smiling — the union of the resurgence of cargo pants’ popularity and young-person angst has launched a number of careers in fashion Batn 0 m m design, modeling and sweatshop nuni Just remember the slogan “I’m sadtha clothes are making me happy!” 3) Be a walking advertisement-na: brands all over one’s clothing is the do some have come to selling their souls One surefire way to be in style, alif practiced by a precious few, is to not about what is and what is not in style simply be original. Do something unpt: dented! If riding a bicycle, use the bite Grow sideburns behind the ears! Beat lish major! Use the Battalion for some! else besides toiletry! That would be out, man.” —Jacob Naval is a freshman English JJU Asian Cultures Education Committee JJl - - 0 Jackie Chan will bo there....Will yOU?
