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

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:

else besides toiletry! That would be
