Maybe I’m just showing my age, not getting some fundamental part of youth culture, but can someone humor the old codger that writes this blog and please explain to me why half the people who send me photos are making some variation on this facial expression?

Because, to take oneself seriously is to act accordingly with adults. Plans, ambition, self-respect… these things are cool for most young nihilists. They’re concerned with impulse, which requires apathy, and self-deprecating humor. When impressing peers is a primary preoccupation, youthful pride has its own social consequences: namely the insecure projections from others that the prideful are too good for them, that pride is not a malleable trait that can be adapted cohesively into the social group. Fortunately, most of us grow into mature, boring adults who take our own brand of photos: mundane, banal, and redundant.

I’m casting my vote for a result of the “scene.” If they have a lip ring, septum, blonde and brown extensions in their hair or any combination or the three and they look between 14-20 years old then definitely. I would bet money that the majority of the pictures you get of (mostly) girls doing that are “scene kids.”

Here I thought I had my late 20s finger squarely on the pulse of youth culture and yet…I’ve never heard of a “thizz face” until this very moment. I feel so old and yet so superior.

i’m on the boat with the person who said everyone is reading *way* too far into a stupid facial expression.
