    Hinder didn't put a new album out last year.

    No. But there is more stupid-ass shit hitting the radio every day.

    You know what this means, don't you?

    First you complain about the music the kids play. Then you complain about their weird clothes. All of a sudden, you're buying a minivan, bitching about how TV has gone to pot and having backyard barbecues.

    Yep ... your post was the first sign of old age. :D

    Wrong, and here's why:

    I LOVE the shit on the radio. I just don't think it's high art.

    I love it when something like this enters the meta-mainstream.

    There's something deliciously subversive about a song gaining widespread acceptance by a public that would blanch at the actual meaning. It's kind of like four years ago, when 'Lil John was all the rage and junior high dances were held to the sounds of "Skeet, skeet, skeet!"

    You just know that somewhere in, like, Dingleberry, Okla., a prep girls hoops game is starting with the home team running out to "superman dat hooooooo!" And that's a beautiful thing.

    Just watch. Next up, some rapper will drop a catchy tune with a hook like "Let's eat cupcakes, y'all." And it'll be a full year before suburban America learns that's slang for inserting a ferret into a dead hooker's rectal cavity.

    Along those lines, I've found it funny when high school dance/cheer teams have done routines to Pink's "You and Your Hand Tonight" this year.

    Sadly no. It is, however, Mike's.

    One thing's for sure, hoops. This thing might never die in Athens.

    Let's be honest ... Richt still has a butt-cut. Trends don't die so quickly down there.

    OK, I just got home and watched this. Damn, it sucks. The beat sucks. They can't rhyme worth shit. How did this catch on?

    There is a naive simplicity about the beat and hook, which often can lead to catchiness, but I think it's because people get to go "Ohhhhhh!" a lot.

    They like that, you know. Participatory.

    I just heard of it for the first time. If that doesn't mean it's dead, I don't know what does.
