I was 17 (or maybe 18, I dunno) when I started this list, just like the
other guy. but I don't really think it's an issue of how old someone is
before they don't sound like a jackass anymore. I'm not debating your
point, just more of a continuance, really. there are people that started
into the whole thing 20 years ago and they're still fucked up little
moddies on the inside. fortunately for me, I always knew what was hip, and
I've never said anything stupid on this list, ever.
