cool kids never have the time.

the street heats the urgency of sound,
as you can see there's no one around.

sometimes i don't get why people try so hard to fit into things.
i see teenagers and young adults alike nowadays criticizing each other for being too this and too that. it's driving me crazy.
just recently i was downtown with a friend and we saw this guy dressed in really fitting jeans and that loose scarf everyone's wearing now wrapped around his neck. he was also wearing those thick plastic-rimmed glasses and a fitting button-up - like really, what are you trying to tell us here?
it's nearly impossible to go out these days without being judged by other people. i've never liked eye contact but nowadays it feels like people are literally eyefucking you, like they're trying to fit you into some kind of category. it's not in to be normal these days.
you get this kid in a bad religion t-shirt and a multicoloured mohawk ranting about how unjust society is these days and how the government should be taken down, and how selling out is the worst way to go in the music industry.
you see a guy dressed in clothes at least two times too big for him, with bicycle chains hanging off his neck and shiny retainers with glittery words on them retelling his story of hardship, addiction and violence, backed with samples of previous hit songs from the past.
there's a girl with bangs trickling over her face like a spilled oil slick with her wrists covered in thin rubber bracelets complaining about conformity and how she's so unique, when you could name at least ten other girls who dress and act exactly the same.
i don't know about you but i think it's getting a little overrated. nobody really knows who they are anymore - it's becoming a society full of people going through a prolonged identity crisis. it really does make me sick sometimes.
