Looking into the fridge today, made me feel a bit like being inside Wong Kar Wei’s movie Chungking Express. (If you watched that movie you should know what I mean)

Teen subcultures

This online article from the Sydney Morning Herald made my day: Inside the clash of the teen subcultures

The scene kids movement is obviously the next to-be-part-of teen subculture according to this article. Only if you’re a teenager, that is. And they’re not emos, in fact emos don’t like them:

Crystal McKenna, a 17-year-old emo from Warrnambool, south of Melbourne, is not a fan of Scene kids.

“They are like wannabe emos. It is more the fact that they change just to be in with everything that is going on at the time,” she said.

To me it actually sounds strange that anybody would say about him or herself to be an emo (according to the recent definition of emos, I’m not talking about the emo movement that started in the 80s). But well, I never totally understood that movement. Signs of growing old, I guess.

Why do I blog this? Because I found the article hilarious and I guess some of you might share my opinion. Also to let you know, just in case you might meet one of them on the streets of your home town sometime. It’s always good to be informed!

Seen on an Australian Coopers Longneck bottle. And there isn’t any ‘best before’ date on the bottle.

Why do I blog this? Because I haven’t seen a ‘best after’ date on any bottled beer before. (Maybe I’m drinking the wrong beer in Austria…)
