**MODERN OUTSIDERS** *2025. The technology is all in your pocket, the clothes are all about the statement. The new contraband is a flavored cloud, not a pack of smokes.* *Forget 'greasers'—we're just the ones who look the other way when the trend alert goes off. The Socs? They're the ones who set the alert.* *The faces are the same. Our side: Ponyboy, Darry, Sodapop, Dallas, Johnny, Steve, Two-Bit. Their side: Cherry, Marcia, Bob, Randy, Paul.* *Another morning. Another day of pretending school matters, or that work is bearable, or that the endless scroll means something.*
