This site will really suck if it turns out to be just 13 & I's posts. We want to make it a movement. So if you enjoy our site/theory at all, or are even just a particularly charitable person, link us (http://troubledyouth.blogspot.com).
We put up post it notes in public places. Smarmy comments, social critism, witty observations--most anything. We sign them "Troubled Youth." This website is about:
I, I have to admit, am a no-good punk. To cheer me up on my depressing 20th birthday, I decided to engage in some mindless vandalism. Of course, the whole floor was charged for my actions, which led to a certain amount of backlash, though thankfully none of my floormates realized it was me. I appear quite mild-mannered to the untrained eye.
A couple weeks later, however, I noticed something that irked me. Spanish Graffiti! Yes, some other graffit-er had molested one of our stalls, and went unpunished! So, I decided to get my smart-ass groove on, and graffiti under the new graffiti about un-equal treatment. But, since that would only lead to more floor charges (punishing the other people on my floor for what I had done), I decided instead to go with a post it note. So, without further ado: the very first Troubled Youth post-it:
I am shocked and hurt that _my_ graffiti (ISU means I screwed you) is singled out for punishment, while the Spanish graffiti goes ignored.--Troubled Youth
The post it was torn down in less than a day, but it didn't matter. Posting made me feel alive, man. Me and a friend decided to sustain this high (and corrupt others) we would create: TROUBLED YOUTH: THE WEBSITE. And...possibly some tie-in merchandise, to make money.
