How do you find these things?
I’m a big dork.
I understand most of these, but “38 is the new 18” has me stumped. “30 is the new 30” is a tad confusing as well.
“em dash is the new comma” is my favorite, but perhaps that’s ’cause I’m secretly a big typography nerd.
I really, staunchly, have to disagree that Clarendon is the new Helvetica, either typographically or geographically.
I like Black is the new Black. That indicates a certain amount of resignation to the process.
i was once wandering alone through a gallery show of my friend’s work, he had made an installation that consisted of cubes of living grass suspended from the ceiling and covering the walls (as well as living trees planted in piles of dirt on the gallery floor)
two folks entered the opposite end of the gallery and looked around for a minute or so. one of them turned to the other and said, totally deadpan, “sod is the new black.”
Cheese is the new heroin? Seriously? No wonder I’m brain damaged and strung out all the time. I love cheese.
“Anal Sex is the new black”…?
That’s it, I’m definitely upgrading my wardrobe!
And of course, my favorite: mental illness is the new normal.
I new I would get ahead of a trend sooner or later.
Although my mental illness doesn’t cause stupid typos…..
