MOOKS MERCHANTS OF COOL

The definition of a book is a male who is stuck in adolescence. They act childish and seek fun by doing things that are over the top and wild. This type of character isn't made by nature though, its a creation of MTV. They brought the mook into existence and have made teen boys fascinated with what he promotes. What annoys me is that kids actually think that its ok to act like a mook. They don't see the problems with being a mook because they see it on TV and automatically assume that its ok to act like one. The way mooks act and what they value is very sad to me. It puts a bad reputation on all male teens who are different than being a mook.

The mook has become more "aggressive" in todays society than it was when the video was made. Now it highlights that men can be more crazy and obnoxious than what was previously accepted. This just makes it a bigger platform for males to behave and expect themselves to be. Mooks don't benefit anyone and they only make other males look childish.

The sad truth to the mook is that it works among teens and young males. The type of humor that a mook is involved in is what seems to be always trending in social media. Its always the guy who is trying to do something dumb but attention-grabbing or is doing something to make everyone else laugh. As much as I want the mook caricature to die, it will only grow as the boundaries are pushed as to how far they can be obnoxious.
