Words are basically losing their meaning. I've seen someone describe a comic as "hipster emo garbage." If I remember correctly it was something like the Adventure Time comic. Someone told me the other day that I'm just trying to be trendy by liking a comic that isn't popular. People just seem to throw out words with negative connotations without thinking about what the word is implying past "it sounds bad."
I guess comics are 'mainstream' now? Except, they're really not. Sales are lower than ever. Man, I dunno.
