oh my god. can we make any more lame-o stereotypical nicknames involving some retardation of yuppie? we've got the yupster, and now new york magazine gives us the grups.

...oh cripes. just reading into the article, i have discovered, though i am a 26-year-old female, i am apparently a grupster:

Let's start with a question. A few questions, actually: When did it become normal for your average 35-year-old New Yorker to (a) walk around with an iPod plugged into his ears at all times, listening to the latest from Bloc Party; (b) regularly buy his clothes at Urban Outfitters; (c) take her toddler to a Mommy's Happy Hour at a Brooklyn bar; (d) stay out till 4 A.M. because he just cant miss the latest New Pornographers show, because who knows when Neko Case will decide to stop touring with them, and everyone knows shes the heart of the band;...

except for the having of a toddler part. i have not hidden a toddler away in my shoe closet of doom, nor am i with toddler, but i totally will subject my toddler one day to the stylings of radiohead. and lo, he will be a moody adolescent.

UPDATE: oh my god. reading even more into the article, i find out that "grups" is actually a star trek reference. arghghahahahgghh! did i tell you, about the saturday night, that i spent with tommy last week, where he was flipping between star trek and anime on tv and, when those were on commercials, watching battlestar gallactica on his computer's dvd player? nothing to do with this post, really, just wanted to tell you that. although i have to admit that the anime was princess mononoke and i liked it, and BG actually seemed really good.

WHAT HAS HE DONE TO ME.
