Excuse the gushing, I'll post the good stuff soon

I've finally gotten the guts to start a blog about pop linguistics. I'm obsessed with the language of our generation: the language of drunk i-love-you-mans, of high wait what was I talking abouts, of facebook statuses, of twitter trends, the language of the media, popular music and the constantly changing flow of language as we the teenagers and the twenty-somethings shape it.
Where better to start off than the fastest and most immediate catalyst of this hella awesome phenomenon, the interweb itself?

I guess I'm directing this towards any of y'all who, like me, are hopelessly addicted to pop culture (and who also feels the love for nonstandard English.) Anyone who listens to the hit station on the radio and revels in the sick-nasty constructions of the hip hop pioneers of contemporary language. Anyone who reads twitter trending topics just to look at people using qs as gs or listens to campus conversations just to hear the pips and quirks of student life expressed through strings of astounding swears, "yeah bros" and "gettin' schwasteds." This, however, is not solely directed toward that small group. Anyone who wants to partake should. If you have ever heard a song on the radio, a friend's ipod or seen a facebook status that made you stop and think "holy shit that's weird....but awesome!" (or even just "that's weird and dumb") this is for you, too. Anyone who wants to notice the changes, the trends and the cool as hell shit that gets posted on the internet and sung on mtv should. That's what this blog is about.
