A tacky overpriced fashion by some guy named Nigo in Japan. Bape caught on around the mid 2000s around 2005-2006 in America mainly because it was spearheaded and shown off by guys like Lil Wayne, Pharrell and the whole Hyphy movement. Bape also spawned a fashion that's dead now thankfully and spawned a many imitators using the overdone design atheistic as Bape, on hoodies, shirts, and other shit and sold for less than Bape, to people who couldn't afford it or simply lived in cities with no stores that sold it(almost every American city that's not L.A. or New-York).
Bape further proves that if you slap rarity, a high price, and put the only stores that sell it in famous cities know for status(New-York, Los Angeles, Tokyo) that you can get a few status obsessed assholes with the money to blow to buy something that's just ugly, like most clothing items that cost money, just overdone with a label on every inch of the clothing.
Bape is only supported now by rich hypebeast who want to be urban in the suburbs. Even then, you may find it rare to find a hypebeast who still wants Bape.
Bape is a super tacky dead trend, one of the worst in the 2000s.

Anime is a form of animation that basically is made in Japan. The word anime is the Japanese take on the word animation. Initially stylized following manga, which are Japanese graphic novels. Shows like Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and Ruroni Kenshin are all examples of anime,
Anime characters are usually drawn with bold features, more so than American animated characters. This is because Japanese animators like the more bold features of people in the western world. Anime also tends to be more realistic in art than American animation. The also deal with more mature themes often.
Some anime fans would like to argue that anime's are not cartoons, which they are, and the word animation has nothing to do with anime, when anime is actually a take on the word animation. Anime is the word commonly used in America for Japanese cartoons, and in actuality if it's animated and comes from Japan it is an anime, no matter if it fits the popular conception of anime or not. In Japan something like Rugrats would be considered anime due to the fact that it is in fact an animated cartoon. Anime is only a word to describe animation, used by the Japanese.

Probably one of the best blogs on the internet, because it's a bunch of hipster hating hipsters, and they're cool because they can take a little joke about themselves,
Made by Carles, but no one really knows who Carles is, a girl or a guy, old or young, etc. We don't know.
Hey did you hear about how Best Coast insulted Hipster Runoff ?

A dead website, Facebook ate it's lunch.
Myspace launched in 2003, and got it's surge of popularity around 2005. It was good at first, but had it's problems, easy to hack, lack of care by the ones who ran it, asshole Myspace gangsters and scene kids galore.
Myspace popularity started to wane around 2007, as Facebook's popularity started to rise. Since Facebook was cleaner, didn't allow modification of it's profile pages, had the status updates, and generally kept out the annoying attention grabbing and the asshole antic(for a while).
Now days Myspace has dropped to around 30 something in the Alexa ranks, while Facebook is number 2 in the Alexa rank.
Myspace's plague of problems, and the drama that began to form around it can be said to have contributed to Myspace's fall. But their lack of care for updating anything useful on the site was a big problem, they neglected the Myspace Group pages, never fixed any major bugs or loopholes that allowed for hackers, and never responded quite well to help for users.
Thus their fall happened. Only people on there now are late people, scene kids, and maybe the Myspace gangstas.
Myspace was once a great website, but has now fallen to the feet of Facebook, due to Myspace's own incompetence.

Is when you go days without the internet, and you start to feel bad/withdraw, because you don't have access to your Facebook, YouTube, or any other site that you frequent. It's commonly cause by a drop of service by an ISP.
Verizon is doing diagnostics on their internet in the Katie's area, they had to take the internet down for a day or two, now Katie is going through Internet Withdrawal.

The official game console of Generation Y. Behind the Wii in sales but above the PS3 in sales, making it the 2nd place console of the 7th gen of consoles. The 360 was released in 2005, and since then everyone and their mother has one of these damn things even if they don't have games for it.
It's a pretty good console, despite the Red Ring Of Death or RRoD and the fact the Microsoft charges you to even touch the button to power on the damn thing. The controller is great, and the online community is large and active but is nothing but a place for asshole 13 year olds and bro-dudes to spread their racist homophobic shit.
It's also the stoners console of choice, and where 3rd party games sell the best.
Xbox 360 might have many problems but is still a pretty good console.

A man who plays it safe, does everything by the books, and is in line with authority. Often used to describe Superman, who is a goody two shoes who follows the rules.
Guys deemed a boy scout are almost always annoyingly lame, and a brown noser. They hold up quick progress in places, such as a job, if others are trying to do things fast and in another way that works; the boy scout insists on doing things by the books. A boy scout has to do everything right or they feel the world will fall apart at every seam.
If you're in high school, the clear boy scouts are the ones kissing the teachers ass, also know as the teacher's pet. They're the kind that snitches on you, won't break rules even in the slightest, and are hardasses for no reason; just to be
Dave is a damn boy scout, he won't let you get away with anything, even the slightest offense. Dave couldn't live without the rules.
