2000+ Rebels

What is a rebel?


Rebels used to be these guys with greased hair, modded cars or motorcycles and switch blades. Normal people would be completely terrified to see them zooming up in the rear view mirror. Joe - "uh oh honey, here come some punks." Then they would proceed to pass and pretend to run the squares off the road. Growing up, I thought those were the cool guys. I wasn't born in the 50s, but I have always liked old movies compared to usually what is out at the current time. I still watch classic movies more, even prefer a good old silent over most of the movies released now a days.

Throughout the years since these greasers, rebels have changed to hippies, punks, new wave, grunge, back to punk, whatever. All had it's good and bad ideals that made them edgy.


Lately I think it's all completely confused because meet today's rebel:

What? This guy is a rebel? Fuck yes he's a rebel, this guy has his awesome new luxury sports car suv oversized truck and he has to get to work RIGHT NOW. So you better watch your sorry ass if your driving on the freeway cause this guy will whip around you like the inferior piece of shit that you are. Emails, productivity, phone calls, secretaries to flirt, faxes to make, golf stories to discuss, football games to predict, this guy has no time to spare when he's racing to work talking to his dashboard in some very heated conversation or maybe he's just talking to his wife cause he sure as fuck doesn't do that on the weekend or at night time. Kids? What are those, I got my blue tooth and blackberry/iphone and that's way more important then some kid cause my child hood is completely lost (oh wait, smile for the camera, see i was there for you son).

Is this a rant? Yes, I am in this world, doesn't mean I have to like everything or everyone in it. that's why I scream in a heavy band, I have issues. Also the above picture is a random one I got off google, if this guy is actually a nice guy, then you don't get the point.

I think I'm now more worried about staring one of these guys down then a gangster.
