Contemporary Cultural Punching Bags
Groups who have done nothing explicitly hurtful to anyone but take a serious verbal beating
1. Nickelback
I have to admit, I’ve been complaining about their music for years, but this has become a weird/trendy/over-the-top phenomenon lately
2. Hipsters
They’ve done nothing of actual note, yet their existence sends people into a hissy fit
3. Gingers (i.e Redheads)
I don’t think anyone had a faux fear of redheads until that word was popularized in the last couple of years
4. The Miami Heat
Just doing their jobs
5. Canadians
(More like “always” rather than contemporary)
Oh except when politics doesn’t go our way. Then we suddenly want to live in Canada.
