There seems to be a fascination these days with combining many pop-culture references into one big...super-reference. I feel like it has almost a religious motivation behind it.

Scott Pilgrim and Homestuck are like that idea put into story form.
Stuck's also sort of there but not on their level... yet.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Goddammit this school year needs to END already
only three days left this week and two next week, but still
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
Nah, if I'm just going to sit around and play with it -- which I probably won't, I'll just use a Genesis AC adapter which is compatible. Another avenue I can take is sending it off to one of those guys who replaces the old crappy lcd screen with a nice, brighter, higher contrast TFT screen that sucks a lot less juice.
There's something in the human personality which resents things that are clear, and conversely, something which is attracted to puzzles, enigmas, and allegories.

That's because most Americans never leave high school, even past the shock that in the real world, nobody cares who your mom and dad are or how many touchdowns you scored for the football team.

Apparently the superscript/subscript buttons don't actually work.
I actually kind of like "My Humps", but then, I've always had a place in my heart for stupid pop songs.
It seems like a lot of media from the 1950s and early 1960s in particular glorified high school quite a bit. I'm not sure why; it could have been the post-war push to compete in everything with Russia, it could have been movie producers having nostalgia for their own childhoods in farm towns, there's a lot of moving parts. As for how it got perpetuated? I figure a lot of Boomers grew up in small towns, farming towns and industrial ones alike, and they lived the stereotype...and when they hit their 30s in the 1970s and 1980s, that's what they made movies about, and that's what was "in" in the 1980s, when the family values movement was gaining steam.
It makes sense; back before it was easy to get money to go to college, and back when there were farms and factories to go to, high school was it before you headed for the farm or the factory. It was the last bastion of childhood before you became an adult and had to take life more seriously, because back then, you had to. Of course, now, life tends to get easier after high school because the bullying has gotten worse...

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
Most of that playlist is They Might Be Giants and Jonathan Coulton. The Portal 2 Soundtrack is also there.

Also, what Forsythe said.
There's a Triforce in there
^Yup.
I think if my novel ever gets finished it will resemble this more or less (note: large-ish, mind-screwy, tits)
