In 1964 there was no Rap or Hiphop music.

No, but there was Elvis' 'pelvic moves' and whatnot. 
Still, I remember once when I had to pick up my niece from a school dance. She was a freshman and I was utterly floored to see what they called dancing. Basically, it was simulated sex. That was in 1997 if I remember properly, and since that time the school were she went has banned that dancing, but I'm still disgusted it was ever allowed.

I'm a drama student but I would not and can not step into the role of these modern day rap 'artists'. 50 cent makes me want to puke.
Those transit workers are so set to going on strike when they dont even realize the MTA has enough money to pay for everything! Damn, why can't they use their union power to go pressure the state to actually help fund the system!? Sigh...they don't even care about the Taylor Law...and I don't think they even care how much money it will cost the city and businesses because they're not working.
Really hope it won't affect my finals next week. Must be a bummer to those who come from out of state if finals are put in January.
But that's not my concern!

I'm getting really annoyed at the current evolution of what is considered humerous/cool among young males about my age.
Think Maddox (who is legitimately funny), but ******** and derivitive. Its this stupid "shock humor" where people try and say as shocking and "un-pc" things as possible. I don't think its funny at all. Mencia (stupid comedian on Comedy Central) would be an example. Another example would be dead baby jokes, and most stuff on stupid Family Guy. Most of the crap that David Spade peddles on his new Showbiz Show is similar.
I keep seeing this crap pop up everywhere. People now like to wear t-shirts with little assertive slogans that are supposed to be "crazy". Using a Maddox tshirt as an example, "Vote Regressive Party: Against abortion, for killing babies".
Wow. You can be "un-pc"... how cool and funny.
I really don't have a problem with someone like Maddox doing it because that's his whole schtick, but when I see fat retards my age running around thinking that THEY are funny for doing this stuff, it just drives me bonkers.
Also, everyone thinks its cool to pretend to be narcissistic now, what the hell is up with that? An example would be a tshirt that my roommate (who is basically a human wasteland) wears that says "You're handsome" in mirror writing. How un-funny.

Another thing that makes me go crazy is when little dorks (usually emo people) decide that a movie or book or tv show is somehow amazingly good just because it contains some shred of "social commentary" or "symbolism" or "political satire" (they love to throw those words out like candy). Any 5th grader can put "social commentary" in a stinking story. What makes a story good is if it has ORIGINAL social commentary or is otherwise DISTINGUISHABLE from all the other crap out there.
Another pet peeve of mine are people who proclaim that they are "into indie films". There is nothing wrong with liking some indie films, but they just say it to try and be cool so they can get little horned-rim-glasses wearing girlfriends.
Additionally, any guy who wears girl pants thinking it is funny or nonconformist just makes me mad. At the risk of resorting to the type of comment I specifically said I hate in my previous post... I take a leak on a guy wearing girl pants if they were dying of thirst.

Ok here is my biggest peeve ever. Tight. Pants. On. A. Guy. WTH? Most people who wear them are A)Skaters or B)Emo, very few wear them otherwise. Skaters say it helps them skate. Bullcr*p. Skaters didnt wear super tight pants before and they were just as good, if anything they suck more. Emo kids wear them because they say they are going against the 'mainstream' styles, where there they are, wearing those damned tight pants, proably the worst mass style ever. So you think it would be over after a few months right? And only affect teenagers right? Wrong People who are 19 20 21 wear them too even though it was never a style when they were a teenager. Also it has been growing strong for Two years now. And it doesn't show signs of letting up. I hate the excuses they give for wearing them: "Oh they are comfortable" "They help me skate" They are against mainstream styles" and the suckiest one of all "Just Cause Everyone Else Does." Tight Pants are the worst thing to become massively popular ever.

Stupid human imperfection.European Starlings and English House Sparrows. I hate them with a passion.
It occured to me yesterday that the Purple Martins are going to be hitting the southern U.S. coasts by the end of this month. They'll be here by mid March, and along with them will come the competition from Starlings and Sparrows for housing. *sigh* Dangerous, invasive non-native bird species! Oh well, I'll just have to have my air rifle ready and waiting.

I hate those teenagers who deliver unadressed commercial material on my doorstep, and when I return it to them (I accidentally heard them drop it off, so I opened the door, and picked up the paperwork on my doormat, then caught up with them as they were waiting to take the elevator down) the damn kids pick up my papers after I have left, and return it to my doormat!!!111!
I am fed up with stupid practices of my political science courses. They require some mandatory work, and students to evaluate eachother, but if a person gets a poor evaluation, it does not seem to give them any problems, even though the rules say that if they fail on their mandatory work, they are not allowed to take the exam of the course.
Why should the university spend a lot of money for less smart students to take exams and get mediocre grades, when they could instead have the students actually WORK on their papers, and improve (if possible), for then to let them take the exams. You 'd think they wanted the students to learn anything. Luckily the economics department has a good understanding of how incentives work.
And I am sick of waiting for the superintendant to come to fix something in my winter garden. He said he was coming next week, back in the beginning of november. He didnt call to arrange anything either. If I had time, I would have arranged something myself, since the man clearly cannot keep track of his obligations.
gaah.

Today I got egged for the first time.
This is a new fad amoung people with a car and more time/money than sense, and a misplaced belief that random assaults which cause much annoyance are somehow cool and showing what a wonderful person they are. Basically, you drive around and throw eggs at people. Shplatch! Ow! Oh ****, I'm all covered in mess. I was just standing waiting for a bus (and it had snowed earlier today, it was really cold) when I get a sudden pain in my leg. Look down, there's a pale lumpy messy thing on me. WTH? Go to brush it off, and great, now I've got egg in my woollen handwash gloves, and egg all down my jeans (which were clean today) and on my bag. Of course the delay in all that prevents me from having the faintest chance even seeing it done, let alone getting a number plate and ID.
At least it's a good opportunity to use some smilies! Here:

I just got my exam schedule this semester. All in the same day. All on the first day of exams.
I'd like to meet the programmer that designed the exam-allocation algorithm and punch him to death.

@sophie... Birmingham is a tough place to live. I wasn't scared when I lived over there but I have seen too much litter and too many smashed bus stop hut windows. First time I heard somebody using the verb 'egg'. You look like an american, making verbs out of everything. 
I have never heard of that type of assault before, I know that some people spanks other on the street and they tape it on the cellphone and they upload on the web, but the egg thing must be a UK only thing.
(Now I have to look up for a recipe of Yorkshire pudding in order to make pancakes )

Another thing, and I'm gonna direct this one directly at several unnamed people who post on this site, I call it soccer, deal with it. Yes we know the American version's not real football or however you term it but seriously screw every last one of you who "corrects" me on it. Pompous asses like you are the reason I have to qualify "I like soccer," with, "but, no, I'm not that type of fan," whenever someone asks me which sports I like.
