I don't understand today's young people

[siberian khatru]

Help me out, youth generation (and aging hipsters like Jim and Skip):

Why, in so many pictures of people under 30, do folks flash the "two-finger" sign? Either the index and middle finger together, or the index and pinkie?

What does that symbolize or refer to?

To me, it's a cliche. So are these folks making an ironic statement in flashing it? Or do they really believe they're being cool?

Forgive me, for I am 40 and I sometimes feel like I'm 60.

i'm neither hip nor cool, so i would have to say that 15 yr ago i would've said 4:20 is just 10 min before beer thirty.

4:20 definitely got popularized on Dead tour, just like much of druggie lexicon did (dank, schwag, kind, dose, liquid, etc...etc..), but that idea for the origins is wrong and silly. Dead shows didn't start at 4:30.

Yeah I figured that. I just heard it a while ago and figured I'd throw it out there hoping some of you guys would confirm my skeptism. My belief is that if you're at a Dead show, it's time to smoke weed throughout the entire show....
