Picture the scene: Valentine’s Day hasn’t turned out to be rubbish this year, you’ve got a date. Automatically, it’s off to a real good start. They’re super attractive, interesting and have great stuff to talk about. Your date opens with complaining about your bullshit jobs, a good bonding point. Now you’re both talking about the latest Skinhead zines, but don’t worry, the discussion is purely cultural. Then you both realise that you just really love Beck. You start to realise why this is going so well: you’ve read Huck’s guide to what was popular this week. By arming yourself with this information it has made you the eloquent and informed individual you always knew that you could be. You go, you.
