I have, at times, referred to the written content of this site as a “blog.” Blog, of course, being the cool way of saying “web log,” originally coined by Generation…uh…well, whichever generation likes blogging and crappy music. You see, this is the problem with those short-sighted sociologists that first neologized the term Generation X, and then followed up with Generation Y. [by the way “neologize” is theJINX’s word of the day. Please use it in a sentence; such as, “Could you please pass the neologize?”] Since I most likely missed out on Generation Z, which was probably ten kids who got famous downloading music or something, what does that leave? Generation Now I Know My ABC’s? [*rimshot*].
It’s similar to how the art and archite
cture world screwed themselves by using the classifications modern and postmodern in the twentieth century. Now everything just has to fit into these two categories because nobody can think of what comes after postmodern… and postpostmodern sounds stupid… and, ironically, postmodern.
