Some of my favorite excerpts (hilarious)

"...They were a soft-spoken breed prone to wearing undersized T-shirts with ironic slogans. They considered themselves nerdy and dressed the part. They tended to be pale and thin and were very fond of black glasses with thick plastic rims. They loved Yo La Tengo and Stereolab and were usually in bands themselves. Indie rock girls liked superskinny boys with unkempt hair. Indie boys prided themselves on being fragile and sickly looking. Indie women prided themselves on their knee-sock collections and the fact that even they were tougher than the average indie rock boy. Both were too shy and awkward to ever make a first move, which might help explain why the breed is dying out..."

"...UTFs love to talk about art. Speak to them knowingly about painting, sculpture, and photography and you will never fail to impress. Their backgrounds lead them into lengthy discussions about postmodernism and postfeminism; actually, add "post" to just about anything and you'll see them squirm in their chairs with excitement. UTFs are aroused by understated behavior and feel uncomfortable when around rowdy people or individuals who posess overly emotional dispositions."
