Great post. One problem — what are we supposed to call really good geologists?!

You're allowed to also hate the current use of rockstar! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Regarding "rocker," I don't care for it. Makes me think of old men sitting on porches doing nothing but rocking back and forth. Maybe the occasional "... eeeeeeeyup" uttered here and there.

My friend Dana (pictured) said, "well sometimes us 'real' rockstars call ourselves dorks, so maybe it all evens out."

Hmm... I dunno about that.

May I confess that I personally loathe the curent use of rockstar, and while we’re at it “killer.” I find myself calling rockstars of the musical variety, rockers which does not speak to their awesomeness and is probably confused with the ancient thing you sit on but I am convinced that the inflection used when saying ROCKER tells the story…and none of this answers your question. Hmm, I say we reclaim rockstar and stop using it unless you can play an instrument or sing.

I am well aware that the definition has evolved, which is kinda the point of my post. I just need a new term!

And I actually LIKE the cat-urine-flavored ROCKSTAR energy drink. I have a tendency to spill it, though, so I have to drink it out of a sippy cup. I made a video about that a while back, I’ll have to send you the link.

Thanks for stopping by!

Actually, there are several definitions of rock star | rockstar, many of which indicate “wicked awesomeness” and “fierce ability with musical instruments”. And apparently, there’s a drink of the same name that tastes like cat urine: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rock+star
