BETWEEN THE BUTTONS
You are what you wear.
Do you like everyone to know where your loyalties lie without having to wear some grotesque t-shirt emblazened with some equally grotesque slogan? Do you want to voice your opinion without screaming it like some medicated jerk? Do you have the desire to be a cool guy instead of the usual run-of-the-mill doghead zombie-twit who drools and slobbers incoherently, yelling "Disco Sucks," "Fuck FM Radiol," "It's OK to like Nick Lowe!”, like a dummy? Do you want members of the opposite gender to worship you like you truly believe they should? Have you the desire to become a true avatar of good taste, a veritable oasis of modern musical intellect? Well, a/mosf-cool person, you can enhance your wardrobe very cheaply and voice your social/political/musical beliefs without opening your big mouth and making an ass out of yourself. All you have to do is buy /steal/borrow-and-never-return buttons (badges in England) with your fave rave's picture, or maybe even a direct quote/slogan pertaining to the person in question.
What button you wear says a lot. People can immediately tell if they might have something in common with you. They may detect a personality quirk that intrigues them, they might even be able to tell whether or not you're worth bothering with. Really, when you see a person with a happy face button on their lapel, you know there is something wrong with them, and that they are to be avoided at all costs.
