The Awesome Possum
Awesome Possums value independent thinking, counterculture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and music, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. Conceived in early 2011 by Walter Deleon, the will be the dominant subculture of people very soon.
Like Hipsters, Awesome Possums embrace “non-mainstream” Culture and trends but unlike them, they also embrace mainstream culture and trends partially due to the fact that most Awesome Possums make trends popular. Like Metrosexuals, Awesome Possums have taste & style, know about fashion, art, and culture. But since the awesome possum is an evolution and fusion of many subcultures, metrosexualism and its features have long been passed towards younger males and also women. With the fusion of mainly metrosexualism and the hipster culture arises the very urban style of the Awesome Possum. But what also helps in the very urban style of the Awesome Possum is the fact that Awesome Possums evolve to the times and will always be known as “cool” or “awesome”. Popular belief is that Awesome Possums hate outcast/posers/goths/punks/etc, however, generally„they pay little attention to other “types”. This Brings us the the next fusion of Subculture which helped create the Awesome Possum, Prep. The Prep subculture brings uniformity to all awesome Possums, but not to the extent of conformity. What Awesome Possums are not: Emo- Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 of the face at an angle. Racist- A label given to a person, or group of people who hate/dislike those who belong to a different race. This typically applies to hatred based on skin-color. Poser- one who pretends to be someone whose not, who tries to fit in but with exaggeration. A poser does not follow his/her own ideas of what he/she likes. A poser is governed not by the clothes, music, or makeup you wear, but rather by the state of your mind and the conformity to your own beliefs. Passé- Out of style, like muscle cars.
