Zebediah:
And in an amusing coincidence relevant to this conversation, with my last post my forum title became "Obscure cultural reference". Emphasis on "obscure".
"Hi, I'm Randy! I'm a bandicoot! I live in Australia! I'm an obscure cultural reference!" :psyduck:
Method of Madness:
My favorite part? "Salteens"
cesium133:
Just noticed that today's Yelling Bird strip is out of sequence (the image is in the "random" directory), so this Friday's comic will end in a 4 instead of a 5. :psyduck:

Okay, look, I have once or twice told people to Google things they don't understand on this forum, but even after doing so this doesn't make much sense, and wouldn't make any if we weren't whacked over the head about it for the first 5 panels. I'm 24, and for better or worse I'm around a lot of people 16 to beyond my age. This isn't a generational thing, it's a coherency thing.
Swaggie is from Justin Beiber, which means it's only relevant to teenage girls and their mothers, not muscled up mice. He doesn't even have a sideways cap or pants halfway to his ankles. YOLO was on life support before the end of 2012. Damnitstrue is a twitter account with life tips, nothing like the comic context. They Live! has undergone pop cultural osmosis, but it's by no means trendy. Anime isn't a major thing with any teens of great marketability, though some may argue with that. Four Loko is an East Coast energy drink, though it's available elsewhere, and was only trendy in 2010 when it almost got banned.
Pulled pork, cat overalls, pants and balls make no sense that I can find.
Comme des Fuckdown actually works, being a currently trendy street clothing line for whomever is classless enough to wear the word 'fuck'.
Long story short, I'm not seeing the appeal to most categories of teens OR hipsters.
And that's my analysis.
Method of Madness:
Until recently, I thought "swag" meant treasure and was used exclusively by pirates.
