From today’s Reliable Source:
LNS fans flooded the paper’s Web site to denounce the [Washington City Paper] staff as “hipsters” who are “jealous of our privilege, jealous of our economic success, jealous of our fun”; while detractors took aim at “pampered, rich frat boys.” Meanwhile, on the front of Latenightshots.com, founder Reed Landry posted a mostly restrained rebuttal (”highly biased . . . completely distorted” ) with a photo . . . from Winona Ryder’s ‘89 flick “Heathers.”
Meaning — what exactly? In the dark comedy, Ryder ends up murdering the cool girls who lord over her high school. Bad behavior, sure, but does LNS really want to identify with the witchy Heathers? Landry broke down the themes for us: “There’s a group of people who is extremely upset about the existence of another group of people who could care less about them.” Also: “We love everything from the 1980s.”

I don’t get the rationale.
