Dante's The Inferno

Quite possibly one of the most influential books in an entire era. Dante Aligheri is the author of The Inferno which is an epic story of how Dante crosses the nine circles of hell. The poetic form is what is currently known as a tursa rema. Dante himself was the first writer who entered Europe into the Renaissance because of his reforms in writing and his general genius and influence over an entire continent.
"Through me the way is to the city dolent; Through me the way is to eternal dole; Through me the way among the people lost. Justice incited my sublime Creator; Created me divine Omnipotence, The highest Wisdom and the primal Love. Before me there were no created things, Only Eterne, and I eternal last. All hope abandon, ye who enter in!"
-Inscription of the gates of hell Canto III

World/Inferno Friendship Society

Not a band, though members all happen to be musicians, this Brooklyn-based group is referred to as being either a cult or a gang led by the nefarious Jack Terricloth. Its members may change, its numbers vary, but generally at least 8 individuals and countless Infernites participate. This cult revolves around music, irresponsibilty, and worship of the Great Pumpkin. Sometimes called World/Inferno, or simply Inferno, their music is a mixture of punk, cabaret, klezmer, soul, rock, and ska.
I saw the World/Inferno Friendship Society play a concert last night, and today I'm seeing everything in colors I didn't know existed.

inverse snobbery

Thinking you're better than other people because you're working class, have a regional accent, don't use big words, read tabloid papers, or for other reasons which are opposite to those which would be involved in "snobbery" in the usual sense.
The argument that people who live in "rough" areas are the only ones who "know" about crime and that everyone else should shut up is just an example of inverse snobbery.
