Who liked Blink 182 when they were younger? Just admit it - I know
they're terrible now, but like Stevie Wonder before them, we shall
not judge their earlier brilliance on their later awfulness. Who
adored the song by Blink 182 that went
'Shit-piss-fuck-cunt-cocksucker-motherfucker-tits-fart-turd and
twot'? I ask because this song directly relates to what I'm about to
talk about - how awful we were as children.
I had a conversation recently with a girl at work about all the
things we used to do for fun back at school, and as pants-shittingly
fun as they were back then, when I look at them through my wisened
eyes, I see just how dark, twisted and sick we were as children.
For
example, we used to have an ongoing sort-of game where you would walk
up to your friend (keep in mind we were 10) and as casually as
possible say 'You dropped your gay card' before pissing
ourselves with laughter when the poor victim looked. That's not
delightful and innocent and full of wonder; I genuinely believed that
this made them gay
and I genuinely thought that was so Shakespearean in its
unfortunateness that it was worth spending the rest of my break
hurting myself laughing so hard at them. What the fuck mini-me?! If I was to
do that now I would get stared down with such fierce disgust and
disapproval from my peers that I would probably end up in the foetal
position crying and begging for forgiveness. Not cool young me.
We played another game called blue murder where you get split into
two teams. One team thought of a word and divided out the letters
between them and the other chased them down and mercilessly
beat the ever-loving shit out of them until they gave up
their letter. If the entire word was guessed before break was up then
the now possibly infertile team lost. Admittedly, this still seems
like fun to me, but if they ever needed proof that the Lord Of The
Flies was an accurate portrayal of tiny minds then I think we've
found it.
I personally told a girl who I knew had a severe peanut allergy
that I would ram a peanut down her throat (I can't remember why), I
stole £2 from a friend snatch-and-run style just for the shits and
gigs of it, and when I got caught calling a teacher drunk behind her
back (keep in mind that I'm 10, I may as well have been saying she
had a prom-night dumpster baby to Hitler) I said lied about a friend saying
it with me just so I wouldn't have to take the full force of the
punishment - I was the god-damned Antichrist!
This is where Blink 182 comes into play. That song signifies how
degraded, depraved and disgusting we were as children - we liked it
purely because they swore. We liked making fun of gay people because
they were different, and we liked blue murder because it was full-on,
brutal, unabated violence. Children are evil and should be treated as
such. Sure they will do the odd cute thing like call a 'butterfly' a
'flutterby' - but does that really make up for the chaotic
sado-masochistic stream of sewage spewing from their dirty, evil
little minds? If they are anything like I was - and I'm sure most of
you were - then I don't think it does.
