culture shift

phenomenon whereby nothing new ever actually happens. millions of angry, brainless, slack-jawed simpletons monopolize every bit of bandwidth extant texting their frustration about this intolerable state of affairs because they believe there must be a reason for their lot, ergo the atmosphere is rent and the culture shifted. the mindless uninspired who insist on affixing a title and definition to a perennial state of nothingness are proof that nothing is ever new. one day it's nascar, the next day teaparties.
it's like- oh, my god- i'm like totally freaking out. peace out, orange county, i'm like so totally over this culture shift.
