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?

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

Jesus titty-sucking Christ! This place reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons when all the adults disappear to have sex constantly.
So we’re in agreement? It’s the scene kids in conjunction with the myspack mafia, controlled by the reverse vampires and using clones of Dre as footsoldiers?
Or my theory:
They’re all fucking ugly.

Because every white kid with a scenester haircut thinks they’re a gangster. I really don’t understand it and it’s my “peer group”. Maybe people don’t know how to smile anymore? Or maybe they have fucked up teeth like me so they don’t smile.
Still, an awkward smile is still lower on the douchebag-o-meter than any sort of pursing of the lips. Especially if taken at a flattering angle. With lots of black eye liner.
I think it stems from some sort of low self esteem or insecurity issue.
Whateva, I do what I want!

It’s a “no future”, “fuck life” expression.
Squatters, anti-globalists, international socialists and other freeloaders make this expression during riots (at least when they don’t cover their face)

It’s a terrible photo of her, and reminds me of one of my bitch ex girlfriends from high school. She held that face fairly regularly. If and when I submit photos of myself onto the web, I generally want them to be natural and thus nice looking (hah, yes, go me and my self confidence), and it’s nice when other people on here look natural, too, not some… mutated duck… thing.
Unless it really IS cool, and I missed the memo. A lot of these comments are making me think that might be the case…
