So today, I saw a girl wearing a shirt featuring the cover in the attached picture.
I'm not a fan of Ayn Rand, but any girl my age (late teens) who obviously has an interest in reading I'd love to talk to.
So I said "Hey, nice shirt!"
She replies with "Awww, thanks! Hehehe, I don't even know what it means...it looks cool though!"

I don't know how I should feel, but I feel almost insulted. /lit/, this is what your high schools are filled with..

My high school was filled with illiterate, dim-witted potheads. I suppose it was one of the better public schools.

The worst is when someone says that X is their favorite musical artist.

"Oh you like X? What's your favorite album of theirs?"

"Uh..."

Had an experience with a fellow who claimed that Bob Marley is his favorite and one of the greatest artists of all time. He could not name a single album of his.
