I want to laugh but at the same time it's sad but also it's Darwinism...

Really feeling bad for those who got in the car with him.

I saw some guy with a YOLO tattoo last week. I wanted to slap the hell out of him. I'm so tired of hearing it.

I wish I never found out - Then I wouldn't be annoyed when I hear it.

It kind of recently became a thing when rapper Drake put it in his lyrics, now young and/or stupid people are using it like some sort of justification to do retarded things.

My faith in humanity lowers by the day.

I heard YOLO for the first at a graduation ceremony this spring. The student was giving her speech trying to explain it shouldn't be used as an excuse to do something stupid, but as why you should try your best. A little corny, but a much better context for the phrase.

Thanks for the correction

If you listen to any radio stations that cover top 100 music, or log on to the internet to follow top stories you will know he exists.

Dochey teens began to where it when Drake started using it in his lyrics.

the only radio i listen to is npr and classic rock, then it's all cds. top 100 music is all CRAP, so i don't even bother. but if he's something that douchey teens listen to, then i'm pretty sure i'm better off not even knowing who he is.

I'm not. I'm not dumb enough to get into a car with someone who is drinking and driving. Let alone texting/tweeting on top of it. Their dumb mistake, they can suffer the consequences.

I'm really happy he didn't take any innocent bystanders with.

I really wish more people listened to NPR. Top 100 music does suck but I'm exposed to it when in some one else's car, when I'm in a store etc. I didn't expect you to know his lyrics, but it surprises me that you weren't aware that he existed. My guess is it has to do with geography, I live int he NJ/NY area so top 100 is hard to miss. Do you churn your own butter all the way up in Mass.?

Hmm, you make a good point. I now feel bad for the Sentra and the guardrail he hit.

Sad story. I have mixed feelings. I don't feel sorry for the tweeting driver as he was a reckless idiot. I'm relieved he didn't take out more innocent people during his "hey y'all watch this" suicide. As far as the passengers, I don't know yet whether or not to feel sorry for them as we don't know if they egged on the idiot or if they asked him to stop. If they tried to stop him, then I feel very sad for them. I also feel sympathy for all the families. They're stuck with the aftermath of stupidity.

lol, i'm in ct. 20 minutes north of new haven, and i can hit the bronx in 1.5 hours. rap/hip hop doesn't exist to me after the 90's (save for eminem, nas, and wu tang). never churned butter, but we used to make our own grape juice growing up in new haven.

YOLO makes my head hurt, and anytime anyone uses is I get the urge to strangle.

However, in a way it is a good thing:
It is a singular representation of all the foolishness, obliviousness, stupidity, and mindlessness of the average young person. It is a single focus upon which I can focus my fury, and a specific symbol of those things which I can seek to defile.

If the kid didn't care about his life why should I?

It appears that the tweet didn't come from the driver, it's also landed on Jalopnik.

And the whole idea of YOLO is to be brave & bold, take your shot, dream big and then dare to realize it. It's not some sound bite for kids to utter every time they want an excuse to act like an irresponsible idiot (only to wonder later why they're not treated like an adult).

f*** kids.

Yeah, but I don't think that Latin is all that popular with the Tweet set, 'sides it doesn't rhyme...or start with YO.

Unfortunately substance has taken a backseat to style, been that way for a while. :tisk:

I can safely say that I have never seen a black dude with dished ears. Is that a tattoo of a kiss on his cheek too?

I know a lot of people have ink, I do too, but you know, if you have a tattoo, on your face, you are going to end badly. It doesn't scream "responsible person with good judgment."

Should probably camp out on this dude's Twitter and wait for the inevitable final bad idea he has.

Unless you have this tattooed to your face.

Not really. However, 105.5 and 104.3 are the only radio stations that can get you away from it. Hence why I dont listen to the radio.

I don't listen to the radio either. I am talking about other people's cars or walking into a business etc. If you walk into a barber shop, you're going to here music, if you go to a football game you're going to here music etc. What I mean is that it's harder to audibly isolate yourself in a non-top 100 bubble when you live the NY NJ area.

They're using it wrong. It should be something like "I always put my seatbelt on every time I get in the car - YOLO!"
