Status And Selling Out

Ps. “Sell Out” is the song to explain it, but the social safety of “Trendy” is a whole other context: “It’s not so bad bein’ trendy / Everyone who looks like me is my friend /Please don’t hate me because I’m trendy /They’re not gonna laugh at me again.” That’s 7th grade philosophy, but it’s solid emotional self-awareness. Not bad for ‘96.
