What is with "Pop Culture"? The { <3 },{ ;) }, ect why do adolescence choose to express themselfs like that? In my point of view it is relly immature and frankly idiotic. My hypothesis to this matter is that the changing mind of a teenager is still grasping for the small amount of childhood that remains because of the effect of reality...I want to know what everybodys' opinoin on this matter is so please comment.

Define "Pop Culture" to me because I don't understand what you mean. And why is it so immature and idiotic? I'm sorry, I'm just trying to understand what you mean.

I wouldn't call emoticons idiotic...Unless they're used excessively.
I think memes are kind of dumb. And sagging pants. And how guys want to act like they're "Homie Gs". And how girls act like sluts or like every other girl is competition. Or how people place a lot of value on high school and even junior high relationships. And people who destroy their future (because I've been down that road). And people who are too distracted to pay attention to magic being created by music. And people who destroy other people's work and then do not admit their mistakes.
Really I think these things are just part of growing up, and the way they're expressing it is through pop culture...It's being naive. It's a bit like it's part of our culture. Oh well. Educate and rise up from the simple people!

I agree with you. Saggy pants is an extreme pet peeve of mine. It's stupid.
Slutty girls also. Every girl thinks they own people and when another girl gets in the way they get hurt or mad.
I think everyone should live a simple life and focus on their education, even though a long lasting date wouldn't hurt. Education should be first priority and the kid can do anything they want after they finish schooling.
I like your little quote, "Educate and rise up from the simple people!" :D I can understand, and if you don't mind I'm going to quote that in my sig.
Peace God

I don't mind emoticons at all, it's just part of Internet language. As long as the person uses proper grammar and spelling and doesn't hold idiotic thoughts, it's fine. I can't stand people who use "your" instead of "you're", however, they can all kill themselves.
I also can't stand saggers, they're fucking retarded, as well as most slutty girls. This video should answer all your questions:

There's a brand new dance
but I don't know its name
That people from bad homes
do again and again
It's big and it's bland
full of tension and fear
They do it over there but we don't do it here
There's a brand new talk,
but it's not very clear
That people from good homes
are talking this year
It's loud and tasteless
and I've heard it before

Emoticons represent emotion in text since you can't interpret what someone means. If I were to say to "I hate you", and it was in a jokingly manner, how would the other person know? They wouldn't unless you told them. That's where things like (:P) come in and stuff. Adds emotion. They're not immature.
