There needs to be a yupster term for the Myspace generation. And what about the scenexcore kids? Is that dead now too?!

OMG. What a total disaster. Although Stereogum is still teh totally hawtness.

Well, that's just hilarious.

It's like when my dad tries to explain to similarly old friends what a blog is.

Ouch. Can't you picture the people meeting when they came up with the concept for that? "We need someone edgy, hip ... a gal with spunk who knows what the kids like these days!"

I hope this site has recovered from the CRAAAZY traffic!

I'm still surprised she didn't add "to the extreme!!" to all of her descriptions.

Good Jesus that woman was obnoxious.

But anyway, I actually think she summed up net slang somewhat well, however uncomfortable that may have been to watch.

Does google actually take this "Current" thing seriously? Save for the overly elaborate intro, this looks like something a college journalism student put together the night before his project was due. That girl is just trying WAY too hard.

Easily the most painful thing i've watched in a long time.
