The problem with DX though, and he lays it out, is that they're portrayed as younger, hipper, cooler.
They are still way over and a great throwback, yes. He highlights that too, and how they're better as veterans who know the ropes rather than the "cool punks".
That's where I agree with him.
Here's my further take on it:
Think of it this way. They're a product of the late 90s, Clinton-era shock entertainment. Everyone was into edgey stuff, and vulgarity and offensiveness. Who knows why, but it was true.
Gutter was in. "Trailer park" was in.
That's why Jerry Springer, Howard Stern, COPS, Spencer Gifts and all that shit was the talk of the town. Co-Ed Naked T-Shirts and the South Park craze were indicative of the times.
So if that stuffs not cool anymore, why do they parade DX over what actually is?
What's ass backwards about it too is that they're a throwback to the days of shocking behaviour as pop culture, without the shocking behaviour.
