Wha-wha?

I was on my way to the library when I heard a man and a woman talking to each other from very far away. It sounded EXACTLY as if the man was talking BACKWARDS and I thought that, for a moment, in the dark black night of Doucheland, I had found myself trapped in some sort of temporal vortex. Alas, as I got closer I heard he was speaking in Mardarin.

To address the lack of hipsters or emos here:

Imagine 16 year olds gathered on a corner. The boys have black or closely shaved hair and the girls have colourful, dark hair. The boys are wearing giant, FUBU-like jackets and cocked white and black trucker hats. Their pants are dark and baggy and they have a lot of chains. The girls are skinnier than rails and wearing skinny jeans, black high heels, and have shirts that their lacy black bras come out the back of. Their hair is teased and they have large hoop or dangling earrings and lots of mascara on.

It seems that German youth culture is copying American hip hop culture. All of these kids are white. All look very rich. They smoke their skinny cigarettes outside of Burger King during the day and around the Banhof at night. It is harrowing.
