*g* I listen to music that's four hundred years older than I am, so I figure it's incumbent on me to try to keep up.

It helps having friends in their early twenties who send me stuff.

When I viewed first-season 'Dark Angel' live on the air the first time through, I found Original Cindy's dialogue almost entirely incomprehensible, and distinct both from all other characters (except when they deliberately talked like her to tease her) and from anyone i'd heard in real life.

By the time I bought the DVDs, suddenly 'mainstream' street slang had caught up to whatever subculture the writers tapped in to write for Cindy, and suddenly she was no longer at all distinctive. It was weird.
