Taylor Momsen Is The Queen Of The Teenage Scowl
LatestI don’t have anything against Taylor Momsen. I even wrote a post defending her once! I just think she’s perfected the art of the teenage girl scowl, and there’s something kind of great and hilarious about it. Observe:
The reason I get such a kick out of Momsen’s patented “What the fuck ever” glare is because the majority of the pictures taken of me when I was Momsen’s age feature the exact same expression, and I suspect the same goes for many of you, as well. It’s a weird time when your hormones and emotions and general angst turn everyday events into seriously dramatic ones (this is not the case for all teenagers, mind you—some people never go through such a phase, I suppose), but for some of us, the scowl is often accompanied by an inner monologue that sounds a bit like this: “This family barbecue is so stupid. Like I care? Whatever. I guess I’ll have a Coke and a hamburger, because that’s so American and corporate and dumb. Is there any ketchup? I can’t sell out without ketchup.”
“I’ll start smiling when the world stops sucking, thanks.”
“I can’t believe I came to this shitty party. I hate this town. I have to get the hell out of here.”
