Swag: A New Epidemic

Have you ever been able to define what swag means? I certainly have a hard time doing it and as much as I used to like saying the word its been over used so much I cringe everytime I hear it come out of someones mouth. I think everyone who is their own " individual" has there own swag, from their personality, interest, and clothing our " swag " makes us all unique.Of course everyone has certain interest that are the same as others but we shouldn't try to purposely imitate the uniqueness of someone else. But unfortunately there are a lot of people who think they have swag but look just like many people they hang out with or  there favorite reality television star or rapper. Or even worst their swag is just plain ignorant. I've come up with a list of things that have been so over saturated in pop culture and/or ignorant that it has now become " swagless "

Here's a list of things that can't be in the criteria of " swag"

Wearing tight jeans with Jordan sneakers that are two sizes too big for you. Tight jeans and big sneakers make you look like a clown.

Decorating yourself with tattoo all over your body and wearing a throw back professional sports team shirt or jersey with a snapback hat. You look just like any obscure hipster rap artist that has come out with a mixtape this year.....and the year before that. You also look like almost every single artist on Young Money, and any model that has picture of themselves posted on someones tumblr account.

CONSTANTLY taking pictures of yourself with a blunt in your mouth in your room with a poster of  Wiz Khalfia or Bob Marley in the background. Alot of people smoke weed now and taking a picture of yourself doing it doesn't make you a rebel.

Wearing tank tops with bold lettering on it that say dumb phrases like, " I love haters, " or " I love bitches," or anything ignorant that you would see some drunken  college student on spring break in Mexico or Florida on MTV or BET's rip the runway show wearing.

Being black and bleaching your hair blond. Usually people who beat on girls do that like Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks or Chris " Smackdown " Brown.

Writing on twitter or facebook that you are " grinding, " we all know you punch a clock like the most of us and hate your supervisor. If you were really grinding your ass wouldn't be on social networks at all...

Having  three cell phones with you when you're out with your buddies and only one of them rings. That bullshit lie about having one phone for business, one for your ladies, and the others for friends is getting old. 

ALWAYS talking about how much you hate Obama or any other politician on twitter and facebook, sorry but most people don't give a damn about your political views and we don't think you're any smarter than the same dumb chicks or guys you  retweet. If I want to  care for someones opinion on politics I'll watch MSNBC or FOX news.

People who always say they #teamlightskin.You don't have swag because your mom was white and your daddy was black. Pretty sure if your grandma was forced to ride in the back of the bus back before the civil rights act she probably gave your dad shit for marrying a white women and your mom was probably getting cursed by her dad  because he said he didn't want a mixed grandkid anyways.  I love interracial relationships but I have no idea wtf a #teamlightskin is and I'm certainly not inferior to you. #Teamlightskin  seems subjective to me cause I could go downsouth and certainly be a #teamlightskin. 

Just being an overall dumbass douche bag who says the most ignorant things and thinks its funny. You sound just like Tyler the Creator.

Dudes who take pictures of their children's sneakers and clothing then post them on facebook knowing damn well  that we all know they baby mama bought it for the child and you claiming you got your son decked out when all your baby mama wants to do is take your ass to court for lack of child support payments but her dumbass won't listen to her parents and do it cause she loves you too much.

You chicks that constantly seduce your good male friends making them believe you " about that life, " when you really aren't . You complain about not having any friends nor having any good guys interested in you but you ruin just about any healthy relationship you have with a male friend.

You fools doing cat burglaries in the daytime,dressed in all black like that's going to make a bigger difference hopping in people's windows when no ones home but the cat and the dog is plain dumb and dangerous . Then your family wants to get mad and press charges when a homeowner catches you and blows your brains out.

White girls who think they are superior to black girls and post tweets  on twitter low key about it like most of us don't know what you really mean.

I'm going to bed after that last one it got me pissed off just typing it.#Louie
