It sounds like the definition of what's "hot" is as capricious as the definition of the "popular group" when my daughters were in high school. My daughters explained it like this:

"Nobody like the popular people. They look down on everybody else."

It took me a lo-o-o-ng time to assimiliate this little bit of contemporary culture.

Now those high schoolers are out in the professional world. Some things never change. Received on Mon Oct 04 2004 - 00:11:23 CEST
