NORMS: THE TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY
How’s this clip for some NORMS riffing? Great riff guys, did you see that on friends? Maybe they should just be called “GIVE UPS” They just stop trying and that’s assuming they ever tried anything moderately interesting ever. Or maybe they can just be called “Yeah sures” because they don’t wanna cause annnyyyy waves. I worked with this woman that was pregnant and she claimed food such as McDonalds was probably the best food for her baby because they are a big company and so they must know what they are doing. WOW. She had other norms nodding.
NORMS come in all shapes and sizes and apparel and I hate them all. Try and convince me that NORMS are really awesome and the world needs more NORMS everywhere. Please convince me of that.
JUST KIDDING!
TV CARNAGE can’t hate NORMS because TV CARNAGE has a tribute DVD to NORMS and brainwashing called CASUAL FRIDAYS.

to be honest i personally think most discernable ‘groups’ are annoying and should be made fun of. Norms, Hipster fags, Growin up gottis, Ed hardys, Alt bros, xHardc0re xkids, Tall tees. Theyre all cunts. and so are you.

You spelled “tyranny” wrong.

What about the “Y B Normal” set? They are just as bad. They are essentially “Norm” but with a wacky hat or a zany pair of shoes. Arcade Fire concerts i believe are a pilgrimage for this class.

i still don’t get it. are you guys hating on what that thing “stuffwhitepeoplelike” or whatever is describing?
in any case, guess what? any idea of individualism based on what people wear, or what they do for a living (or for leisure), basically any sculpting of lifestyle (and even the idea of “lifestyle” itself) is 100% a product of consumerism. you know, that shit that you think you’re cool because you supposedly see through it.
there ain’t shit that’s original about you, no matter what color you dress it in. because you grew up in this, and so did your brothers and sisters, and all your friends, from the square-est to the hippest. you can’t even imagine any way out, any different way to realize your individualism, beyond that which has already been sanctioned by consumerism (that is, presuming “individualism” as we know it can even be separated from consumerism). and that’s why you will never be considered a genius, just some quirky left-of-center hipster that dresses slightly different than the next hipster. might as well make a buck off it, like certain people who do webpages like this.
long story short . . . you’re ALL fucked!

There was a time — and if you are too young to drink in bars legally in the US this time is before your daddy put his baby juice inside your mommy — when “It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” was cutting edge. I tried to explain REM to my chemistry partner (the 1987 version of a NORM) and she Did. Not. Compute.
The important thing is, I was wearing an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.

JLH nailed it!

ok lets clear this up right now, everyone sucks and is completely fucking lame! especially “norms” and especially hipsters and especially punkers and especially hardcore kids and especially artists and especially white collar workers and especially blue collar works and especially people who read vice and especially people who read newspapers and especially people who visit streetcarnage and especially……well you get my point

If you ever thought “It’s the End of REM As We Know It” was cutting edge you were a sad tool (of the capitalists). Apparently, even your chemistry partner in 1987 was able to figure that out.

Yes, I love this hatethusiasm.
FUCKING NORMS.

There should be a day where everyone who hates NORMS should punch one in the face. Not a serious ass-kicking. Just a nice solid jab. You just wait till they say something like “Oooohh, I LOVE sushi!” or “I just bought the new Jon Mayer cd” or “I believe in guardian angels”. Wait, no, I take it back: kicking their head in is allowed.

Your “capitalist” and “consumerist” tirades are missing the point. It’s America’s way of talking about class.
07.11.08 at 8:14 am
Oh well. Everyone can’t be cool. If they were, who would we make fun of.
07.11.08 at 8:24 am
I was with you on two of them, but Sushi is fucking delicious. But be careful, I punch back.

honestly, watching these people is just fucking depressing. i’ve tried to avoid them all of my life, and while kinda funny, these exposes are more like watching shows about people with down’s syndrome. it’s kinda funny but painful at the same time. what’s even more depressing is internet bulletin boards discussing what “normal” and “individuality” mean.

Its the end of the world as we know it/ and I feel sooooo uncomfortable that I’m doing something this OUTRAGEOUS
