So did I.  These whippersnappers better get off our lawn.  Why, they've probably lived their whole lives in the Eternal September.

Shh, stay low and keep quiet!  Here we see the Pretentious Music Hipster in his native habitat.  What a marvelous specimen!  If you listen carefully, you can hear his mating call: "I knew about this band way before you did".  Sadly, there are precious few females of the species, so his mating calls are likely
