How funny is:
A) Late Night Hash Tags
B) Bieber yanking his pants up on Ellen.
A - that’s Fallon
B - “… and it’s really annoying! So I’m gonna… pulls pants up, grumble grumble …just for you!” (and he runs like a girl)
Looked it up. So it’s a boy band that, as far as I can tell, is targeted at 13-year old girls. And you’re buying their CDs.
Yeah… and you thought the 17-year old guy or whatever wasn’t “with it” for not knowing who the hell they are?
HAHAHAHA! Got me. Kimmel had the hysterical Bibier gal tho. http://youtu.be/AKEQwvaYI_k
And if all y’alls haven’t seen the Fallon/Timberlake history of rap (parts, 1,2, and 3) well I don’t know what all.
:: pats you on head::
Never been with it. Occasionally been against it, but most often indifferent to it.
Um, yeah, I’ve got a news flash for the OP direct from the UK. One Direction are naff even to most 15 year olds - manufactured X Factor boy bands have never been cool - and I’m fairly astonished and ashamed that they have crossed the Pond. Please don’t send back.
With what?
Have I mentioned I’m going to see The Boss in May? Who cares about being with it, I finally have the money to pay for Big Concert tickets, while being in a place that has big concerts and wonderful public transportation so after the concert I don’t have to drive while asleep!
As near as I can tell, I’m sort of the Anti-With It.
And you shagged how many birds tonight?
I’m so hip I have trouble seeing over my pelvis
I try to keep up, and it helps that I spend an evening a week at a youth club who have Spotify running nonstop. Of course, I don’t much like hip-hop and tune out for much of that, but I do track most of the pop musicians who seem to be popular (at least with a subset of teens).
Si
My girlfriend is a wee bit younger than me and, well, the other day she told me that it was really cute that I still buy CDs. So I guess I’m not with it.
And I dance Lindy Hop, which means I am either lost in the 40s or late 90s. But then I met her (of the CD-joshing) there. Hmm. Must think this one through a bit.
I do remember feeling vaguely hip when they played Salem on Skins and I had already been listening to them for a good few months. For a second I was cool there, but that was about two series ago.
I used to be massively into shoegazing. That dates me more than anything.
It was a pop-cultural reference meant in a post-ironic manner. Please try to keep up.
I’m not ‘with it’ but I read the Cheezeburger websites often enough to make fun of ‘it.’
One nice thing about ignorance of pop culture, current music and movies, and suchlike, in a conversation, I can simply ask “What’s that?” and find out enough to know whether I care or not. Heck, it works with sports, politics, medicine, and science, too. Conversation - what a concept!!
I’m extremely with it except for hip-hop and rap. I should keep up more despite having no interest, because my trivia team counts on me for pop culture references. I watch no reality shows or competition shows, but I usually know what’s going on because of the Dope and magazines and surfing the net.
I gave up on trying to be “with it” when I was about 14. I have pretty much had no idea what was fashionable in terms of clothes, music, hair styles, or TV shows since then.
It’s been over 20 years now, and I don’t miss any of it.
When I look at theline-up of this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival, I know 7 out of 13 bands. I used to be a lot more with it musically, but I really fell off when OiNK’s Pink Palace was shut down.
I really have no idea. I’m 51 and do not listen to current radio, but on the other hand I have good friends in a popular Warped Tour band and another who just played SXBW. So it’s a little weird.
The OP isn’t “with it”. She’s like most 30- or 40-somethings who decide at some point they want to be, and who end up being wannabes.
You’re the old lady who thinks pre-teen crap is actually cool. It’s so bad, you think you’re more “with it” than the 17-year-old who laughed his ass off after you left the store.
I’m with AClockworkMelon on this one. There are plenty of people in their 30s and 40s who manage to stay in touch with relevant pop culture trends, but the OP isn’t one of them.
