Kitties' Law is an internet law pertaining to the degradation and eventual death of a subculture. It states that, as time progresses, a previously hip subculture will gain a younger and younger audience and become progressively less cool. Ultimately, the subculture will reach middle schools worldwide, at which point it is officially uncool for the rest of eternity.
The Lifecycle of a Subculture
- Ultra-trendy 20-somethings become upset with the state of mainstream culture or an in-vogue subculture and push at its boundaries ever so slightly
- Other trend-setters catch on and the changes to the subculture snowball until a new subculture emerges
- 'Underground' fashion blogs pick up on the subculture's style and project it to 20-somethings outside of the city in which the subculture began
- The subculture spreads to other cultural centers and begins bleeding into the suburbs. At this point city-going high schoolers begin to pick up on the trend
- The subculture is picked up by suburb-dwellers who want to look as edgy and alternative as their urban counterparts
- The subculture is adopted by 'cool' suburban high-schoolers who want to differentiate themselves from the stupid sheep in their classes
