Of Slacker T-shirts And Mind Control
February 27, 2004
Youg lefties including Conan Neutron are in a dither because of a t-shirt being sold at Urban Outfitters. It says, "Voting Is For Old People." Well, yeah, unfortunately, it mostly is. Now who's gonna change that? And what does it have to do with a t-shirt? Or as one commenter to Neutron's above-linked Live Journal item puts it: It's an Onion article waiting to happen. And if someone's gullible enough to not vote because some trucker-cap adorned quasi-hipster's t-shirt told them to, maybe it's not such a loss! While we're at it, what kind of name is Conan Neutron, anyway? Posted by Matt Rosenberg at February 27, 2004 07:25 AM Trackback Pings TrackBack URL for this entry: Comments:
Well, I never personally thought that it would directly effect any young voters, my problem is with the whole culture of consumerist disaffected cool. Yeah, it's cool to not pay attention to current events and just concentrate on empty suburban angst, irony is awesome... whatever. Funny stuff. oh and BTW, Conan is my real first name, i'm named after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle the fellow who wrote the Sherlock Holmes novels, it's pronounced Ko-nihn not ko-nahn, and Neutron is a nomme de rock, but it's close enough to my real last name for government work. -C.
