arrogance in the highest degree. the state of firm belief that human science can answer all of life's questions, including the creation of a universe perfect to so many decimal points, life, death and the formation of various religions, which are seen by most atheists as misleading distractions.
Many greedy hypocritical teenagers become 'atheists' because they fail to see the message behind their own faith, usually christianity. Of course, those who are not blind sheep will not turn from the faith nor follow it blindly, but acknowledge that such stories are not intended literally but are to be analysed in terms of an ethical code. Such an ethical code gives way to a near perfect society, in which all are happy and well done by.
The concept of an afterlife is not intended as a binding contract as such, but rather can be viewed as similar to the phrase 'dance like nobody's watching.' Life should be approached with the impression that there is retribution for ones actions, not for the greedy purposes of eternal life but rather for everyone's general comfort so all can live in peace.
Teenage atheism merely removes the eternal life clause so that suicide becomes an option. very selfish.
In fact it takes a very high intellect to be a respectable atheist, much more reasoning than is available to the average teenager who wants to evade church.

atheism is, for many, the 'soft option' so to speak, allowing them to self indulge at other's expense.

Stephen Hawking could probably get away with being atheist.

an alternative rock / pop band, often described as indie, that spread to fame on the back of demos hosted on a blog. spread between indie kids in a matter of weeks, and by the time i discovered them through their debut LP 'The Loon' they were 'old.'
damn indie kids, they work too fast and i cant keep up.
tapes n tapes are refreshing, albeit a bit similar to other bands that i wont mention for sake of flaming.
regardless, The Loon is a fantastic album and the band is deserving of the hype.

has been defined as indie pop but id liken them more towards indie rock as there is just as much focus on the music than on the vocals. A great band with a great following of fans, which, unfortunately for our misguided friend who said there was 12, stretch a long way into south america, europe and some highly obscure nations. Has a very strong following in places like brazil and spain.
the guy who said they were emo then posted lots of lyrics which proved him immediately wrong. Emo as a music genre is about writing music about how hard and bad life is, generally termed 'whinger music' or 'bitch rock.' DCFC is, essentially, a celebration of the beauties of life, held together by fantastic melodies that thrust it directly into the 'indie' genre; if your so image-obsessed so as to start making allegiances, please dont take DCFC! just appreciate it as what it is - indie rock. and fantastic indie rock at that.

a pop rock / image band that started a big circle of accusations about being 'poseurs' - basically this was done with their 'non-conformist' song 'The Anthem.' soory, what kind of non conformist song is also an anthem? joel madden unwittingly created a large preppy army of poseurs, all of whom are posing as non posers, all the while accusing everyone who disses GC for being the shitty band they are of posing and denying an apparent hidden desire to listen to the horrible rubbish they continue to churn out. yes, i personally have been told by a gc fan that if i were to pretend not to know anything about the band and listen to their new album, i wouldnt be saying they were musically insignificant, unoriginal AND untalented by all definitions of the words. hmm perhaps if they were good... wed all LISTEN TO THEM AND NOT DISS THEM IDIOTS

as a mindset, a movement that revolves around choosing music, clothing and general culture based on their individual benefits and 'pros' so to speak; also could be incarnated in one who isnt overly pretentious because of someone else's opinions. Not to be confused with indie yuppies who are typically malinformed rich white kids, elitist about their tastes whilst not quite having the intellect to back up their own opinions.
typical indie attitude towards daily happenings:
I like the shins based on the atmosphere that their songs give, and the way in which they alter my mood, not just because i saw them on garden state.
This brand isn't particualrly 'cool' but i like this shirt so i will buy it and not fuck around because someone else doesnt
