His writing style is called “associative,” which I guess means he compares one thing to something else and makes incongruous references to bands and songs that are meaningful to him. In an essay about the video game “The Sims” he unnecessarily quotes lyrics from the Talking Heads song “Once In A Lifetime.” He reminds me of me when I was younger. He also has a fixation on being the crazy or weird one of his friends. Apparently he dated a girl once, and everyone compared them to Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen (he somehow doesn’t notice they’re actually being compared to characters in a movie).
This is a picture of Chuck Klosterman:
That man has never woken up from a drug binge next to his dead girlfriend in a blood soaked hotel room. He couldn’t play the part convincingly in a movie either.
