Goddamn Hipsters

At least hip-hop and 90's rock were shocked and pretended to be mortified when their cobbled together fashions became hip and the norm.

I don't have nearly enough swears to express my contempt for modern popular culture, but it pales in my deep loathing and anger at the corporate versions of said popular culture.

Case in point this ad by J.C. Penny's:



I love the movie. John Hughes is a genius, but that commercial is an atrocity, right down to the pink Nirvana shirt.

And that wack cover of Simple Minds. It's not a difficult song, how do you fuck up that song?!? Target deserves some responsibility for mangling a Beatles song every few months, thus making this horror allowable to the other culture-less corporate hive minds.
