I want to thank you. With your bangs and your heels and your condescension. This is not counterculture dude; this is the norm, and you are the status quo. You are not in highschool anymore - the rules don't apply. Yes, there may just be strange and frightening people who also choose the same pub as you one night. You need to prepare yourself for this. I'm sure there's some street press you can search for your face in, why not just stay home and do that instead?

God! The landscape has changed so much! It used to be wanky rock and roll. It never felt so... mean. It was just stupid. Stupidity in Judgement Bar. Now instead, it's snide desperation at Health Club. Or if you reject that, still snide desperation follows you to the Cricketer's. Oh, to NOT be looked at up and down by every other fucking girl with a Haircut and a leather handbag! You all in you second hand getup, your nonchalant leanings against starkly graffiti'd walls, your ironic love of gangster rap:

Admit it!

It's not ironic!!!
