A lot of things have come out of World War II: Radar, atomic bombs, Yugoslavia, improved relations between the U.S. and the Soviets (psych!), and most unfortunately, post modernism.
What is post modernism?
Some people say it is fake, some say it's real, but mainly most people cannot agree.
Hannah often points out Family Guy as a good example of post modernism. Irony, a key component to the so-called Hipster lifestyle, is also a key to post modernism.
Forget the dramatic irony such as knowing that Juliet is in fact, not dead or knowing that Austin Powers is about to drink feces and not coffee, no sir, the irony of today is all about clothing.
For instance this shirt above. Ironic because of what it says. It's also ironic because Urban Outfitters already sells t-shirts that are all over print tees. The shirt is so self-aware!
Basically, it is silly.
Do not buy this shirt PLEASE.
Or any all over print tee for that matter.
Burn down the House of Holland!
