Lameisthenewcool

This idea that Lameisthenewcool is connected to the trends I see. You see, I use to think it was lame to be so self-absorbed, or to live in such a selfish state at all times. However, now it seems to be the cool thing to do. Things confuse me. Like, when did being so needy become cool? Damn, it just seems that things that were once seen differently have emerged as desirable traits. We like to brag about our twitter followers or how many friends we have on Facebook. Was there not a time that the person who talked about how many friends they had was seen as essentially lame? And that is why I say that Lameisthenewcool. Also, because I think the name is cool. Is that lame?
