The video store closes, social media opens. This book is a series of essays about pop culture subjects that collective opinions have shifted on over time.
Is Shia LaBeouf too honest for his own good? How did P!nk build such an interesting career? What allowed Pulp Fiction to shift the cinematic landscape? How did we process Charlie Sheen's Twitter escapades? What does our response to Rebecca Black's "Friday" say about us? Was Eminem really a scourge on society? Other topics include the death of the video store, Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone, How I Met Your Mother, The Social Network, Brad Pitt, Zooey Deschanel, Mean Girls, Judd Apatow & Seth Rogen, Hilary Duff, Run-DMC, and others.
Discussing these unserious subjects in a semi-serious manner, Alex Stephenson thoughtfully tackles the things we think about everyday, but rarely fully process.
