What we are
There are no cliques anymore
No cliques of the same people
No people in one singular clique
Its chaos
Running around
Trying to find a group
Before it shuts and closed
The kids in high school
Can dress in whatever jeans
Whatever shoes
Whether Gucci or target
But can equally be judged
No sense of uniformity
People wear their doc martens
The hair I see is an array of colors
Probably done at home
Same with the bangs
And the wolf cuts
And the buzz cuts
You can never guess
What the person beside you
Is listening to
Music genres are infinite
I knew of basics like
Rock
Classical
Folk
Country
But now genres can be spread
Across nations
through your phone
K-pop
Nightcore
Spotify is truly a gift
Creating cliques of community
Around an artist
My phone is a gift
And a curse
Tik Tok
A new trend
That’s probably destructive
Or vandalism
But funny nonetheless
The stall doors are missing
The sinks are broken
We dance
And sway
Everything is funny
Everything is ironic
Everything is a distraction
An escape
But it’s funny
It's impossible to categorize us
We are nothing
And everything to each other
This peice is my understanding of the teenage experience in the 2020s.
