I try to be charitable with 15 year old wannabes. Because 15 year olds who don't wannabe something, generally don't turn out interesting. And most 15 year olds who already have their life figured out are either wrong or boring. But these are perspectives from a few decades later. At the time, I too had strong opinions about people who wore their aspirations on (or between) their sleeves. We called them poseurs. Because we had more opinions than knowledge. Like 15 year olds. :) (Aside: you have to admit though: The Zildjian logotype is pretty great. Also, because you'd often get a free t-shirt with purchase, it was hard to tell the legit from the poseur without getting them to sit at the kit.)
