Subcultural smorgasbord in the LA Weekly

I just read ‘The Secret Lives of Boys‘, the LA Weekly cover story featuring an array of LA teenage boy subcultures, or at least an array of teenage boys that the writer presumes to be representative of subcultures. I’m glad to know about Old Spirits, Indie F–ks, Gay Best Friends, and whatever subculture the athletic Jewish kid is supposedly in, although I have to say that the wide-eyed tone of the piece reminds me a little bit of the New York Times lamestain
