CLANCY OVERELL  | Editor | CONTACT In a true testament to the detachment of Australia's media caste, the online news cycle has this week been littered with the amazing discovery of a youth subculture that is so well established in Western Sydney that it was pioneered by people who are no longer youths. A spree of articles across the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and...

CLANCY OVERELL  | Editor | CONTACT As the Americans celebrate yet another grand final between two teams in that weird type of football they play, once again there has been lots of chatter about the halftime entertainment.

CLANCY OVERELL  | Editor | CONTACT An outspoken private school comrade from Melbourne's northside has today made a social faux-pas after meeting some of the last True Believers.
