kids will be kids (and make crappy music)

Ugggh. I just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out what "crunkcore" was, flipping through a couple blogs, and have returned with only a handful of observations:
-it might be best described as "post-emo-core"
-it apparently evolved from Hot Topic
-i can't tell if most of the kids involved are straight-edge or candy-rolling ravers
-it's a hyper-ironic blend of emo-core (a la the band "The Devil Wears Prada" or perhaps "Underoath" as I remember them), techno music, "crunk" rap, talking about sex, tight pants, tattoos, and neon colors

Anyways, it was sort of amusing and disheartening to realize that lots of the kids I find loitering around the nearby high school probably listen to this ish.

I feel like such a self-righteous curmudgeon but I guess the kids have got to be kids and make their own mistakes.
