Fads/Cliques

Which country do you live in?

Apparently one that thinks Disco is still all the rage these days.

Disco??
Dude, are you seriously hearing those old musics?

I really like this thread because it's making my high school experience seem so much more normal. Axonn goes to school with a group of people who still think Vanilla Ice spun some pretty cool beats and still wear his pants to honour him. Donfuy's friends think that Donna Summer is still pretty hip and so they use verbs like I can imagine the Morlocks would. I need to hear more. Do you guys have pep rallies? Do you have a rival school with kids who are strangely like you and yet polar opposites? Did one of your cheerleaders get pregnant and have to leave school the middle of her junior year and did the jock who knocked her up get busted for smoking pot behind the school and have to have a series of increasingly desperate court scenes?

Yeah, my High School seems pretty normal in comparison. We have pep rallies, but I don't go to them. We have a rival school, but I'm on a team there. I can't say I know anything about pregnant cheerleaders or desperate court scenes, although I'm sure it goes on.

Seriously, there are very few 'cliques' here at Cleveland HS. there rae definitely distinct social groups, but I wouldn't call them 'cliques.'

I live in the far far Portugal.

Wow. I think I was misunderstood with "Disco" sound. With the "disco", I was saying musics that are played on the (*takes a peek at google translator AND wikipedia) nightclub (I had no idea that was what you call them). 'Cause here at Portugal, nightclubs are "discotecas".

"Oh, are you hearing those old musics again?"

I am extremely entertained at this use of language, especially given that teenagers are using it.
"Are you hearing those old musics again." It's almost like it's taken right out of a bad dialogue for a fantasy novel and the author has a terrible understanding of how people talked "back then" but is giving a half-assed attempt regardless.
People around here would just say, "are you still listening to that music," or simply, "you still listen to that garbage?" But there wouldn't be an "oh," "hearing" would only apply to awareness of noise as opposed to paying attention to it, and "musics" isn't even a word. It's like they're asking you, a schizophrenic who hears ancient melodies of yore, if you're having another schizoid attack.

Which country do you live in?

As the main language here isn't English, the translation can sound bad, so the mistake can be mine. But yes, that's the way they ask it.


Sometimes I just want to fucking scream: LET ME HEAR TUXEDOMOON YOU FUCKING CREEPS!. But no, I just bought some noise isolating headphones, and turn the volume up to the hell.

Sometimes I just want to fucking scream: LET ME YEAR TUXEDOMOON YOU FUCKING CREEPS!

Uhm. What?

[Donfuy]

Shit.

How come nobody noticed it earlier?

It's on CAPS, goddammit!
