First off, let me just say that I am not opposed to stodginess. Or stodges. Some of my best friends are stodges. And I also share in an enjoyment of certain stodgy pursuits now and again. It's just that I have so much more to contribute on the topic of anti-stodge.
To appreciate anti-stodge is to embrace things that would make other people say "Ugh." This appreciation can take the form of a genuine fondness; in other cases, the appreciation is on a more ironic level. For example, I was just on my lunch break and saw a lady wearing orange velvet platform boots. While I don't know of her intent in wearing them, I found them really beautiful. However, when I wear something like my Journey tour jacket, that's more of an irony thing. But then you have to be careful, because sometimes you can approach something from an ironic perspective, and then end up realizing you really do like it. Such guilty pleasures include karaoke-ing painful hits of the 80's.
Anyway, this site will explore some of my favorite examples of anti-stodge, and related topics. Read on, you who are guilty of stodgery, and become more well-rounded...
My head hurts. Bring me back to Stodge.
