Trending Media

[dictionary def] The means of mass social communication excessively regarded by the public, creating a popular or 'mainstream' idea throughout society

[personal def] An annoying fanbase of obsessive teenage girls anywhere and anytime, regardless of actual gender identity; applicable to most trending media, whether it originates from adolescent girls, fully grown men, toddlers, tables, hammers or apricots.

December 21, 2012: End of the World?

Everyone knows about the upcoming Mayan-claimed apocalyptic event that is predicted to happen tomorrow.
 
 
So, apparently, the Mayans predicted that the Earth will be destroyed by an asteroid they call "Nibiru," an alien invasion or a supernova (from wiki).
 
... What the hell, people. The chance of any of these things happening is highly unlikely.
 
Unless somehow, a ginormous freaking Jupiter-sized asteroid appears out of nowhere, weaves its way through several other planets, manages not to hit any of those and finds its direction straight towards Earth is perfectly possible on any random given day...
That's plainly unthinkable.
 
And, a freaking alien invasion? REALLY?
 
That claim is practically announcing that the human race's technology sucks like shit. For all these years, we've claimed that we are the only ones in the universe that are presently detected in our technological  systems.
If we really were to be invaded by aliens on any given day, without the knowledge that they even exist, would honestly be quite unfortunate for the space industry's reputation.
 
And, finally, A SUPERNOVA?
 
DAFUQ?
 
... I'm kind of wondering what the hell these Mayans were smoking back then...
 
A supernova happening within this solar system is impossible.
 
Unless the sun suddenly went out like a candle, or a new star randomly appears nearby just to explode soon after, it's impossible.
It's like saying:
I'll just throw a water balloon at your face right now, without actually having a water balloon here with me.
 
What the hell, Mayans...
Are you just trying to screw with the future human generations for fun?
Because, this certainly is one of the stupidest and most out-there topics I've ever heard out of the media.
 
But, hey, whatever, people could believe what they want.
I'm not here to stop them.
 
Just to comment on it.

Camwhoring

For some sort of mystifying reason, many girls in today's society like to take pictures of themselves, otherwise known as Camwhoring.
 

Not only do they take countless pictures of themselves in random places, such as bathrooms, school desks, stairwells and on the couch, they make the weirdest poses ever.
 
This includes:
 
-The [in]famous Duckface
-The Here-I'll-Lean-Forward-To-Make-My-Boobs-Seem-Bigger
-The Awkward-Twisting-Body-Position-Which-Makes-My-Ass-Seem-Bigger
-The ever-so-reigning peace sign
-Various camera angles (above or to the side)
-The I'll-Take-A-Picture-Of-My-Reflection-In-A-Mirror
-Pouting Face
-Big Eyeballs
-I'll-Look-Stupid-On-Purpose-But-I-Really-Don't
-Do-Some-Random-Shit-That-No-One-Gives-One-Fuck-About
 
... Like, really? One trip to the McDonald's bathroom and:
 
HOLY SHIT LET'S TAKE 34982739582946817254861524 PICTURES IN 2348749687394857 DIFFERENT ANGLES AND POSES BUT SAVE NONE BECAUSE I SAID SO.
 
But, in general, THIS IS CONSIDERED A TREND?
 
This is complete societal madness.
 
Take this girl for example.
 
 
Upon looking at the comparison, I have been both mortally and mentally wounded by her pose and her expression.
 
It's a duck.
Both of them.
And there isn't any way of telling a single difference.
 
I am most horrified at what trend-setters have been doing within the 21st century.
 
If it's Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lady Gaga, Pink, Marianas Trench, Hedley, OR WHOEVER THE FUCK ELSE..
 
STOP.
 
PLEASE STOP.
 
I'm not saying that these are bad singers or whatnot, I'm simply suggesting that if they are the ones who are manipulating society into some freakishly outgoing nonprofessional photographers of their own sorts... Stop. Just stop.
 
I will vomit if these celebrities introduce some sort of new and improved way to camwhore.
*shivers*
 
Another things about camwhores is that they take their "forced habit" as a very good thing.
 
... WHY THE FREAKING HELL WOULD YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD THING?
 
You are practically telling the world about your inability to:
 
1. Take photographs
2. Take normal photos with friends
3. Not care about shit no one really cares about but you.
 
They post their camwhore pictures fucking everywhere on social networking sites, like tumblr, facebook or even blogs like these, and they caption it with things like:
 
LOL CAMWHORING WITH MY BESTIES XOXOX <3
 
<3 <3 <3 LUV THESE SEXY BITCHES <3<3<3
 
<3 I'M SUCH A CAMWHORE :) <3
 
I only have one thing to say to this:
 
 
Not literally of course, but you get the gist.
 
This is completely unacceptable.
This is absolutely mortifying.
 
WHY...
 
JUST WHY?!
 
Why is the future generation unable to develop and grow without the use of such horrible trends?
 
IS THIS WHAT HUMANITY HAS COME TO?!
 
... I shed many tears for the future.
 
I don't despise those who take pictures of themselves with their friends.
But why is it that they have to post them with such terrible captions, referencing such trends?
 
I vomit at the thought of future camwhores.
 
And, thus ends my rant.

Twilight has Raped the Future

Written by Stephanie Meyer, the Twilight series has won the hearts of young readers everywhere. It's been developed into a feature-length movie series, known as The Twilight Saga.
 
 
Honestly, I don't understand the cover art of the novel itself. I mean, what the hell does an apple have to do with a girl falling in love with a 104 year-old vampire, then meeting a bunch of idiotic people who try to kill her, which in the end, concludes with sex and the birth of a random child.
 
The story's plot overview seems overly... Well, simply put, stupid.
 
The first book, Twilight, is basically:
Bella, the main character, moves to a city, where she meets a 104 year-old vampire, Edward, whom she feels attracted to. Then James, a sadistic vampire [dafuq?] is like:
OH DAMN THAT GIRL'S NIIIIIIIIICE and tries to kill her. Bella flees to another city, where she stupidly meets him again. Edward + friends save her and kill James. They then go back to their starting city.
 
.... My question is:
 
HOW THE FUCK DID STEPHANIE MEYER MANAGE TO WRITE A FULLY-FLEDGED 500 PAGE NOVEL BASED UPON SUCH A PATHETIC STORYLINE?!
 
I don't even wanna know what her other three books are about.
 
From what I see on wikipedia...
 
Book 1: Bella meet Edward. Edward meet Bella. FUCK YOU, JAMES.
 
Book 2: Edward is suicidal. Bella slaps him in the face. FUCK YOU, JAMES' WIFE. Oh hi, Jacob.
 
Book 3: James' wife rages and gathers baby vampires to kill Bella. Meanwhile, Bella is having a relationship crisis. Edward and Jacob fight about calling dibs on Bella's virginity.
 
Book 4: Bella and Edward marry, have sex and, thus, Bella is impregnated by a vampire. The baby, for no apparent reason, grows so fucking fast that Bella thinks she's gonna die. She gives birth and Edward turns her into a vampire. Jacob falls in love with their newborn child, at which, in my mind, he is officially deemed a pedophile.
 
... And this is the part where we all go:
 
DAFUQ?
 
I don't even know what the hell is wrong with this Stephanie Meyer's mind, but she needs immediate psychological attention.
 
Honestly, a sparkling 104 year-old man having sex with a teenage girl, then her best friend falls in love with their child, would hardly be considered an appropriate topic.
 
Is this the only theme that captivates young minds nowadays?
 
If so... I weep ever so dearly for the future.
 
To many's surprise, I've never actually read, held or merely touched any Twilight material, whether it be books, posters, etc. nor do I ever want to....
 
And I plan to keep it that way for clearly expressed reasons.

Recognized by Digital Society, Dragged Down by Reality

I've never had this many viewers on my blog before.
Nor did I ever think that I'd get this many.
 
I thought my blog was just me annoyingly ranting about first-world problems, which, in turn, is another first-world problem...
 
Well, now that I know that my blog has an actual audience, I'll devise more devious posts and create a wondrous world of veering vexation for all of you fellow humans, cats, dogs, toddlers, teens, stoves and cherries.
 
[If you haven't noticed already, alliteration is a big thing of mine.]
 
If you have any topic requests, send them in to me by whichever method you prefer.
 
And, hence, my blog lives on.
 
... Unless I die, at which point my blog will not be continued for obvious reasons.
 
... I have a crap load of homework, so I'll add an actual post later.
Last minute, it always seems that teachers simply vomit all their assignments onto you, at which I feel very disgusted at their time management.
And they constantly tell us:
WELL CHIIIILDREN, YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO MANAGE YOUR TIIIIME...
 
... Perhaps you should start doing the same, teacher.
 
They always complain about how:
AUUGHH IM NOT DONE MARKING YEEET AND I HAVE AAAAALL OF THESE NEW ASSIGNMENTS TO MAAARK..
 
... Bitch, you assigned them.
So, don't even think of blaming it on us.
 
But life goes on...

Conneticut and its 28 Dead People

... Is this even explainable?
 
28 PEOPLE MURDERED, 20 OF WHICH ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF FIVE TO TEN, 6 ARE ADULTS, ONE IS A MOTHER AND ONE IS THE MURDERER.
(from the news)
 
I dont understand the U.S. anymore... Hwo on earth did a 20 year-old manage to just kill his mother, shooting her in the face, then casually driving to the nearby school, at which his mother teaches at, and murdering 20 children with semi-automatic handguns.
 
You first have to question:
WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET TWO FUCKING SEMI-AUTOMATIC HANDGUNS?!
 
Oh wait, I know the answer to that, PFFT, it's the United States.
 
The very simple fact that this bloodbath took place in the U.S. is enough of an answer for me.
 
Not only did this man kill 20 children, he also murdered 6 adults, who are most probably teachers of sorts. After his killing spree, he takes the gun to his own head and suicides.
 
... Now really, I think he should have contacted a psychologist before having done this.
It would've done him good.
 
There are rumours as to what caused him to do this: some say that he was just crazy and emotionally unstable for certain reasons, or that he was jealous of his mom's students at her school, who received more attention than he got at home....
 
So wait, hang on for a sec, a fully grown 20 year-old is jealous of a bunch of little kids that his mom teaches and his solution to this jealously is to kill those kids and his mom and then himself.
 
.. I see something oh so horribly wrong with this image.
 
I currently am in question as to what the U.S. does for its citizens.
How is the healthcare over there? It is good?
Because, to us Canadians, it seems like the shittiest piece of crap that ever existed so far because of this scenario.
 
Now, video games might also be another cause for this. This guy might've just really liked guns and shit. And one day was just like: HMM MAYBE I'LL TRY MY NEW GUNS ON THOSE KIDS AND MY MOM WHO I HATE SO MUCH.
 
Now video games, because of this, are a problem for the next generation, because this will totally mindfuck them, giving them the mental image that guns are cool and that going on a killing rampage is the way to go.
 
So freaking WAY TO GO, United States, you have just made it on my list of idiotic media.


One Direction and Justin Bieber

Once again, the fangirling takes place...
 
 
One Direction and Justin Bieber and their fanbase is complete insanity.
 
These media trends have defined and brought the term obsession to an entirely new perspective.
They've taken the minds of young girls everywhere.
 
SO, FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANKIND'S SCARCE LOGICAL ABILITY...
 
STOP.
 
JUST  STOP.
 
The amount of madness these popular boys introduce into society, whether it be One Direction, Justin Bieber or anyone else, is beyond my comprehension.
 
It's 9213874908571987% unfathomable.
 
Honestly, THEIR SONGS AREN'T EVEN THAT GOOD.
 
They might have a catchy tune or beat here and there, but, admit it, the number of times we hear these guys sing on the radio just makes it super annoying.
 
21st century song lyrics have developed soooo much.
 
From the brilliant chorus lines of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah to Justin Bieber's suuuper complex chorus:
BAY-BEH BAY-BEH BAY-BEH OHHHHHHHHHHHHH LIKE BAY-BEH BAY-BEH BAY-BEH OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
Dafuq, man, can't you at least come up with a more interesting chorus line?
 
And their looks...
 
Thank goodness Justin changed his bowlcut to a regular hairstyle. I personally thought the style was too weird on him.
 
And One Direction...
 
A few of them remind me of some sorts of animals...
 
I think that Zayn Malik is the funniest one of them all, in terms of looks...
 
He reminds me of a... A skunk.
 
 
... It's true though...
 
This isn't really an animal but... Harry Styles reminds me of the Overly Obsessed Girlfriend meme.
 
 
His smile is highly relatable...
 
The other three guys don't have an impulsive characteristics within their appearances, so I'll go easy on 'em and just say that they're fine.
 
So yeah, that's a bit on my opinion about fangirling on 21st century trending male singers.
 


Back to the 80's

This trend is becoming more and more popular and many are evidently travelling back in time, clothing-wise. Truthfully, the 80's was a time when there were great movies and music all around the media. The clothing style was really unique and inspired artists with colour.
But now, it's become this awkward mix of modern, not-so-chic and extreme.
 
 
Anne Hathaway and Justin Bieber are just two celebrities out of hundreds who sprout this 'nerd' look, with huge framed glasses. But Hathaway and Bieber show two entirely different styles
 
Anne Hathaway's are lovely; they fit her profile, her face shape and her hair colour. They compliment her dress colour and, most importantly, they aren't too big. Anne Hathaway is an example of the older generation who understand the idea of going back to the 80's but staying within the current day.
 
Justin Bieber, on the other hand, is an entirely different story. Wearing all neutral colours, with a hat to cover his hair colour, his glasses have no way of complimenting anything of his. His motherfucking glasses are so massive that they pretty much sag on his motherfucking cheeks. Bieber is an example of the teenage generation who have no idea what the fuck is going on, just want to look cool and create their own trends.
 
 
Neon is also a big thing that's come back.
 
I personally don't like neon colours, but that's just personal preference.
 
This part of the trend isn't half as bad, but just one suggestion to all those who wear neon colours constantly:
 
DON'T WEAR SO FUCKING MUCH.
 
We do not want to see the sun when looking at you, as that would be the most painful experience one would ever have in their entire life.
 
Also, have you noticed that as clothing prices start increasing, the amount of material used in the product decreases?
 
This isn't applicable to all, but you understand the general idea I'm bringing up here.
 
COVER YOURSELVES TO A MINIMUM, WOMEN.
 
For goodness' sake, we do not want to see you walk around naked.
 
In the 80's, I get that crop tops were really popular, but, HELLOO, societal clothing development has kind of moved on since then.
 
This trend isn't that bad, but one has to understand where the limit is.
 
We want to, as a society, develop the glorious future, not go back and rape the trends of past decades.
 


The Wanted: Glad You Came

Quite honestly, before this song came out, I didn't even know 'The Wanted ' existed.
 
 
Apparently, they're an English-Irish boy band, who debuted in July 2010.
So, they were formed not so long ago.
And considering current music themes about romance and such, that brings me to their most popular song:
 
Glad You Came.
 
 
The direct message in this song would be the obsessive I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU'RE SO BLAHBLAHBLAH.
 
The inexplicit message is WOW I TOTALLY LOVED YOUR ORGASM.
 
... And by now, both you and I are looking at each other like 'wait what.'
 
But my thoughts on this need to be explained more than just wait what in a glance.
 
It's more like:
 
WHAT THE FREAKING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE, WRITING CRAPPY SHIT MUSIC LIKE THIS SO THAT LITTLE INNOCENT YOUNG CHILDREN START RUNNING AROUND THE PLAYGROUND SCREAMING IM GLAAAAAAAAAAAD YOU CAAAAAME DOO-DOO-DO-DO-DO-DOO-DOO NOT KNOWING THAT THEYRE ACTUALLY SAYING THAT THEY ENJOYED AN ORGASM AND FREAKING SHITTY MUSIC RECORD SIGNING DEALS WHAT THE MOTHERFUCKING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MUSIC COMPANIES YOU'RE KINDA FUCKED UP IN THE HEAD YOU ACTUALLY ACCEPT THIS PIECE OF JUNK AS A WORK OF ART AND EXPRESSION WELL LET ME JUST SHOVE THIS CHAINSAW UP YOUR ASS AND SEE IF YOU CAN WRITE A SONG ABOUT THAT HUH?!?!?!
 
... But then again, that's an awfully long of a sentiment to be put in a glance.
So I usually just stick to the wait what option.
 
Seriously, music record signing companies need to think these things through so that their record deal doesn't include some song about a woman's orgasm when having sex with a man while she's drunk, and there's a random emotional part about a sunset and some stars. And what the fuck does the universe have to do with a drunk woman's orgasm?
 
I also have the boy band to blame for the production of this piece of shit.
 
YOU'RE A BOY BAND.
 
HOW THE FREAKING HELL DO YOU JUST SIT DOWN AND COME UP WITH THE IDEA OF WRITING A SONG ABOUT ORGASM?
 
Just like:
 
Oh yeah hey guys i think im kinda turned on today yeah i had sex yesterday the orgasm was really nice we should just write a song about it i mean it'll be really deep and emotional and stuff and little kids all over North America will love it they'll just karaoke it all the time and im sure the parents wont mind because WE'RE JUST A FUCKING BOY BAND WHO WILL CREATE A VIRAL TRENDING MEDIA THAT WILL POISON THE MINDS OF MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF CHILDREN ALL AROUND THE GLOBE.
 
... Well, that escalated quickly.
 
Thank goodness, however, that this trend has died down amongst little children, but now, a new global disaster has come...
 
 In the form of the terrifying Carly Ray Jepsen.

"Swag"

This popular internet slang has taken its physical form in many youth lives and some adult ones.
My question is: WHY
 

Firstly, you must question the...

Origin
 
According to http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/swag, the term swag was originated during the 1520's, holding the dictionary definition of to move heavily or unsteadily. The word swag was derived the verb to swing, which originated from the 1300's word sway.

According to Merriam-Webster, the term swagger or swag is defined as:

1 : to conduct oneself in an arrogant or superciliously pompous manner; to walk with an air of overbearing self-confidence
2 : to boast; to brag

In my opinion, the term swag was short-formed from swagger, which is spelled similarly to swig, which originated from gulp, which is a variation of swallow, which may cause choking, but most would think that's stupid. And so the term stupid is an attribute of asshole, which derived from the term bastard, which includes the characterstics of idiotic, insolent and impolite.

... I just word-vomitted. Sorry.

Next factor to wonder about this social media trend is...

WHO THE FFFF-FALLING RAINBOWS WOULD CREATE SUCH A WORD?

DIDN'T THEY KNOW IT WOULD COMPLETELY RAPE THE MINDS OF INNOCENT YOUNG PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD?!?!?!?!

... Well, apparently not.

Unfortunately, media, being the idiotic thing it is, has NO IDEA who came up with this term.
That's quite ironic, considering media is the method by which one makes something viral...

People all over the internet have different opinions as to who deemed the word swag an international trend. I myself have no idea who did as well.

Now, time for the
RANT

Considering this exceptionally lame trend has practically taken over the young generation, I have lost practically all faith in future humanity so far.

Not only has this word raped their personalities, but also the clothing style and way of speech.

Honestly, is it necessary to swear every other 0.00000000000000001 seconds?
And do you girls need to wear really short crop tops, push-up bras and unnaturally-short shorts?
Why do you guys need to act so loud and obnoxious and low-ride, which is technically not wearing your pants?
And really, walking around like a pirate penguin, whether you're low-riding or not, is not 'cool.'

Every time I see one of these kids at school, walking around thinking they're sooo cool, I say:
Yeeeep. That's DEFINITELY a 9th grader.

You Grade 9-ers are also pretty short, a bit chubby, (girls) wear too much make-up and (guys) travel in groups of 23948712983579 people.
Must you children make it anymore obvious?

Now, there aren't only 9th grade 'swaggers' out there.

I've seen plenty of 11th and 12th grade ones. Now those are the worst of the two.

These guys have the legitimate Captain-Blackbeard's-Limp walk and their pants so low that their bright conspicuous boxers look like their mom's freshly-hung curtains.

This clothing swag isn't cool, in my opinion. It is the most horrible display of the 21st century fashion sense and pretty much symbolizes the end of logical human apparel.

Oh the don't even get me started on the songs that have the term swag in them.

The worst of them all is Justin Bieber's hit single "Boyfriend."

This song practically spells out the idiocracy that has taken over the minds of teenagers.

Within one of the verses of the song, Justin Bieber has warped the term swag and has altered it to end with a -y sound. And the word swaggy was born.

The verse is as follows:

Girlfriend, girlfriend, you could be my girlfriend
You could be my girlfriend until the world ends
Make you dance do a spin and a twirl and
Voice goin' crazy on this hook like a whirlwind
Swaggy


... SWAGGY?!
FOR GOD'S SAKE, MAN, PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER
THERE ISN'T ANY TIME FOR ANY MORE IDIOTIC WORDS

And thank goodness society agreed with that.
Fortunately, swaagy has been deemed by almost everyone as stupid and what-the-fuck.
A bit of my faith in humanity was restored when I heard about that.

And so, with that bit of regained faith ends my rant about "swag."

Gangsters and Low-Riding

This has to be the stupidest trend out there...
 
I view low-riding as a stupid weird clothing trend, and not just weird, but also disgusting.
I walk up the stairs everyday and at least once a day, I see one of these so-called 'gangsters,' who technically aren't even wearing their pants. They aren't even gangsters;  they're just a bunch of guys who waddle around like penguins, don't wear pants the way they were designed to be worn and think they're super cool.
 
One thing's for sure:
 
 
 
There are three types of low-riders, which I call Triple M:
1. The Modicum
These guys are the ones who are acceptably wearing their pants.
Not only just acceptably, but they ARE wearing their pants. These boys wear their pants to a personal comfort level, but there isn't any 'visual' (if you get what I mean...).
I find this first level quite acceptable. And I do applaud these boys who obviously respect others around them and wear their pants accordingly.
 
2. The (not-so) Moderate
 
Now this is wear the HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL part begins.
These guys are the ones, when walking up the stairs, whose bright red underwear is peaking from under their sweater and all in your face, going: HAH, SO YOU FOUND ME. WELL GO AHEAD TAKE A LONGER LOOK UNTIL I ACTUALLY START WALKING UP THE STAIRS
 
And, honestly, come on, guys. Don't you have at least a bit of pride and embarrassment in yourself? You're practically showcasing your boxers to the entire human society, out of which 99.9% don't want to see them.
 
There's this guy I know (whose name I'll not disclose), who had mentioned that he doesn't like guys (or anyone for the matter) who wear their pants like that.
And coming from a guy, this kinda means a lot.
 
But, this level isn't as bad as the next...
 
3. The Maximum
 
 
Now, here...
 
THEY AREN'T EVEN WEARING THEIR MOTHERFUCKING PANTS.
Like, WHAT THE FREAKIN' HELL HAS SOCIETY BEEN THINKING IN TERMS OF CLOTHING APPAREL TRENDS.
SHAME ON TREND-SETTERS AND FASHION DESIGNERS WHO'VE INTRODUCED THIS HORRID STYLE SENSE INTO EXISTENCE.
THIS IS HORRIBLE.
THIS IS THE END OF THE ACCEPTABLE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.
 
So that's pretty much the gist of my thoughts.
 
This type of 'style' is the type I don't even want to start explaining my personal opinion on.
But, hey, this is a rant blog, so why not...?
 
So, these guys have no sense of pride, no sense of embarassment and, most importantly, no awareness of society's actual preferences whatsoever.
 
They truly have a dillusional sense of manliness.
If they think waddling around in pants sagging to their mid-thighs (or lower) is very manly, these boys need to re-check that factor of their teenager lives. They're walking around, thinking:
MMMYEEEAAHHH BITCHES GONNA START CHECKING ME OOUUUTT
 
And meanwhile, everyone is staring at these guys, thinking:
DAFUQ IS HE WEARING...? BOY, YOU BETTER PUT YOUR PANTS BACK ON OTHERWISE SOME BITCH IS GONNA HURT YOUR FEEEEELINGS. AND IF THEY DON'T MAKE FUN OF YOU, I'MMA GONNA DO IT FOR 'EM.
 

Gosh, what has this world come to...


It's unthinkable, unfathomable.

But, well, that's society for ya.


North American Weeaboos

[def] A person (typically of Anglo-Saxon descent) that is entirely obsessed with Japanese culture and anime. This is the kind of person that goes to a community college to major in Japanese in hopes of one day moving to glorious Tokyo to become one with the anime culture.
 

Yes, weeaboos... They are everywhere...

Weeaboos are certainly interesting specimens of the human race.
I know or have encountered several weeaboos before and I honestly have no comment.

There are two types of weeaboos.
The kind that is overly obesessed with lame stuff.
And the kind who knows hardly anything but deems themselves an otaku anyway
.
The ones who are obsessed aren't JUST obsessed; their minds host an extreme obsession that is unsurprisingly unfathomable. Pure insanity. They're into really common anime-based material, like Vocaloid or Sailor Moon. I honestly have no problem with Vocaloid, but these people are so into this shit that they memorize the lyrics, the dances and have their mobile devices chock full of these robotic songs. And neither do I have a problem with Sailor Moon, although I do loathe the art style. Just, I really hate overly obsessed people.

And the most annoying thing about this kind of media fanbase is that they bother third party members of society, asking them:
HEY DO YOU KNOW WHAT VOCALOID IS?? O RLY?? SO WE CAN TOTALLY BE BEST FRIENDS AND WE CAN SING AND DANCE TOGETHER!! AND WE CAN SHARE SONGS AND YOU CAN BORROW MY ALL MY 249863981398 CDS AND...
... No, just no.

The second type of weeaboo are annoying, but not as bad as type one.

These are the kinds who want to seem like they're into anime and extremely knowledgable about the subject, when they really aren't. This type 2 weeaboo are those kinds in an anime club who join, not to share their interests in anime, but to learn more about it, acting as if they already know everything from the very beginning.

THEY ARE PREEEEEEEEEETTY ANNOYING.

Oh and, both of these weeaboos have one factor in common: the reproduction of Japanese art.

Pictures of Naruto, Sasuke, Ichigo, Rukia, Sakura, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin & Len and several other well-known anime figures.
And thing about these works of art is that, to be quite frank, they suck.
They are like a piece of shit that someone just shitted out.
Actually, they're so shitty that it's like its a piece of shit that came from another piece of shit that they shitted out.

... In other words, it looks as if it was traced.

9999999999999% TRACED.

And hence, weeaboos are the one of the most infuriating people on this planet.



My Friend and Tom Felton

Note: the name of my friend, for for the simple reason of privacy, will not be disclosed in this post.
 
 
This is Tom Felton.
[For all those who didn't know, he was the famous actor who played the role 'Draco Malfoy' in the feature-film series Harry Potter.]
 
Admit it. Everybody has an obsession, whether it be an obvious or a not-so-obvious one.
But, nowadays, it's extremely common to see groups of people fawning over celebrities. These celebs range from being actors to singers to I'm-Rich-'Cause-I-Did-Something-Stupid.
 
Fangirling leads to obsession and obsession leads to...
Well, what I call OID, or Obsessive Icon Dillusions.
 
My friend has unfortunately contracted this horrific disease and has been showing several symptoms, including: panicking when the topic arises, extreme hand gestures when expressing her obsession and the inability to explain why she is obsessed with the iconic actor.
 
Tom Felton, naturally as an actor, is good-looking and has an attractive presence.
But it isn't something worth fangirling over, in my opinion.
 
My friend has miiiiiiiiiiiiillions of pictures of Felton on her iPod and her Blackberry.
She shows them to people constantly, going:
OH LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, IT'S TOM FELTON!! [squeals]
 
And, quoting her, she is pretty much obsessed because, "TOM FELTON IS FREAKIN' HOT."
 
... (facepalm)
 
Well, just a little bit about my friend and Tom Felton.

Jansport Backpacks

I swear, these backpacks are gonna take over the world some day.
 
 
Besides skinny jeans, Converse and graphic t-shirts, Jansport backpacks are all the rage nowadays when it comes to back-to-school equipment.
 
Every single hallway I enter, I will always encounter at least 1 student with a Jansport backpack, if not 458480243587 other students. These trending backpacks are simple, are in plain colours, ranging from dark to neon, and they have a very basic overall design.
 
I don't really see what's so special about these bags, but, from what I see, they're the most useless bags ever.
Other than having a single pocket on the front, the bag has no other compartments, making it useless if you have tons of stuff. Not only that, but the bag itself is exceptionally small. My preference for bag sizes wouldn't be within the trendy Jansport range.
 
Because of the extremely simple design, I'd assume that the back support is horrible. Not to sound like an old advisor hag, but back support is an important factor when picking out bags.
Especially if you're lugging around pounds and pounds of pure torture.
 
My personal preference with backpack colours would be within the dark range. Most of the Jansport bags are really colourful and usually neon, which i find extremely visually unappealing.
 
I suppose this all comes with one's tastes.
But, then again, one's personal tastes bend with media's influences...
 
.... Anyway, I just think those Jansport backpacks suck. End of story.
 


Pajamas to School isn't Cool

According to many high school students, pajama pants are the new sweatpants.
 
 
The only question I have for these people isn't how this became a trend, but: WHY?
 
Students already have clothing complexes, as 21st century apparel is made up of hardly any material at all. These 'trend-setters' are only adding another clothing article to the list of first-world dress code issues.
 
I've never really understood this vague clothing trend. It's like the picture above: it's summer and you're out in these flaming hot Spongebob Squarepants pajama bottoms.
 
DAFUQ?
 
 Okay, honestly now: is this really cool?
I personally wouldn't wear pajama pants to school on any random day. If the entire school is organizing a pajama day, and if i wanna participate, then sure, why not?

I think teens are opening their comfort zone at school to too wide of a circumference.
I find it pretty awkward when a guy casually walks by in his PJs and I just sit there, trying not to burst out in untimely laughter or attempt to break the subconscious silence screaming in my head.

This is just a small opinion on the matter, but yes, it's a very interesting trend indeed.

 

Oppan Gangnam Style

Everyone knows about the international sensation PSY, the singer of the hit single, Oppan Gangnam Style.
 
 
Oppan Gangnam Style is a Korean-originated song that went viral over the internet over the past year or so.
 
People became obsessed with this popular trend, memorizing the dance, the lyrics or perhaps both. They downloaded the song on most of their mobile devices, including Blackberries, iPods, Androids and iPhones.
 
Flashmobs formed all over the world because of this new music sensation and have had crowds with millions of people dancing along.
 
These are just a couple examples:
 
I honestly find this dance very entertaining. The music is pretty catchy and I like the techno beat and how the audio technician mixed it.
 
There's also another version of the song, still with PSY in it, but it instead features a Korean star, Hyuna. I personally find this version horrifying. Her voice sounds like a singy-songy Pikachu, which, to me, sounds extremely annoying and irritating to my ears. Not only the music, but the music video makes me want to throw up.


I am disgusted as to what girls have to do to gain media popularity. It's as if signing up to become a superstar means selling your social virginity through the prostitution of your body for the camera lens.
 
Anyhow, after the media craze, it eventually died down into what Gangnam Style is today: a thing of the past.

Make-up: Less is More

I'm sorta surprised that some girls don't know that LESS IS MORE.
 
 
For goodness' sake, take some layers off of that 5 layered wedding cake pasted on your face.
You don't need all that shit, woman.
 
Girls are often found nowadays to be socially and physically inscure about many things. But, seriously, that's just stupid media getting to their minds. Because of trending media, girls are pressured to look their best with popular products.
 
WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY REALM OF IDIOTIC INFLUENTIALISM.
 
I've never really understood how girls could cake on that make up like their face is a sort of empty void or something. They go for the wild eyeshadow colours and the bold eyeliner streaks. Mascara is a whole other story. It's like some girls have yet to comprehend that eyelashes are very small and can only extend to a certain length and thickness.
 
I personally do not wear make-up, as I find it quite annoying and cumbersome. I am one to constantly feel sleepy during class and I do have the bad habit of constantly rubbing my face.
Now, how on earth am I supposed to do that when I have a 498569348592837405 layered wedding cake on my face?
I have no idea; hence, I don't wear make-up.
 
Freshmen girls especially need to get the hang of understanding that less is more. Some girls' make-up honestly frightens the hell out of me. One glance at them and I'm like: GURL, YOU ALL DECKED OUT FOR HALLOWEEN OR SUMTHIN'?
 
Not only media is pressuring beautiful girls to smear this shit on their faces, but also their peers as well. Girls have issues when it comes to dating and relationship security. But really, it's not the security of the relationship that's the problem, it's the guy they're with.
 
'Popular', good-looking guys are the ones girls try to impress. And when I say "impress", I'm talking legit shit here. They go all out with crap they wouldn't deal with if it's another guy.
 
Another thing I wonder, about girls and make-up, is: WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY GETTING ALL THIS GODDAMN MONEY?!
 
Last I checked, make-up in bulk is one of the most expensive products out in the market. And these girls not only go for the quantity, but the quality too. Everyone knows that, with any good quality product, the prices are like Mount Everest.
 
I'd assume that their parents fund their make-up collection, or they'd have a job themselves.
Unless of course, they're doing other things to get money, of which I'll not mention...
 
In the end, girls wearing make-up isn't a bad thing, but they just have to learn that
LESS IS MORE.
 
 
 

21st Century High School Freshmen

Ever since I graduated from Grade 9, I've been bothered by this subject for AAAAAAGES. 

High School Freshmen

 
Most of these kids are, not only obsessed and easily influenced by trends, but they're also very obnoxious. With this boldness, they're usually very rude.
I hate this archetype of a freshman with all my heart and soul.
Why? Well, because they're assholes.
These children think they're at the top, when really, they're at the bottom of the high school hierachy at the moment.
 
Obnoxious freshmen guys and their habits is naturally another topic to be brought up when ranting about this. I've noticed that their use of language is constantly inappropriate. I mean, SHUT THE FFFFFFF--FRIED CHICKEN UP, YOU BAAAA--AD CHILDREN. Like, HOLY SHHHH--SHITAKE MUSHROOMS.
Also, because their childish behaviour, such as that, constantly leads to scolding. A lot of it.
It's kinda funny when they're scolded by anyone with more experience than them though. They look like that kindergartener who's been sent to a time-out in the lonely corner of the classroom while everyone else gets cookies, milk and story time.
 
Then again, some are actually very nice and seem to be leading normal lives. They don't exactly dress with the trends and aren't obnoxious. And they don't have the attitude that, quite frankly, gives you a sudden and strong urge to punch them in the face and shove their unconscious body into a locker.
... Applicable to me anyway.

Now, this topic opens up my blog, which is, quite perversely, about trending media and its relation to the people around me and general society.
I've encountered a great number of people who have been changed, affected or influenced by social media. Thus, this blog will be my venting method to dissolve some of my hatred for most of these trends, rather than having over 200 unconscious kids shoved painfully into lockers.
 
To be honest, I think trending media is like a dictator. Once you get caught within it's grasp of control, there isn't a way out, unless you stand up against it altogether.
 
 
SO LET'S JOIN TOGETHER TO REBEL AGAINST THIS POWERFUL FORCE OF SOCIETAL STUPIDITY!!
