An American observer writes that all previous definitions of "poptimism" are superseded by the following:

Poptimism is:
-Baby on dancefloor. Not actually on the dancefloor, obviously but its mother was; apparently babies much like Scooter.
-I am much inclined to totally love people who babble, due to my habit of talking utter shit ten to the dozen when am nervous and meeting new people
-As far as can tell, all Poptimists are a) ludicrously good looking, b) really amazingly lovely people
-Many people coming up and going 'are you off the internets, I am also off the internets hurrah' sort of thing which was awesome
-bellowing "YOU BUNCH OF INDIE B@STARDS" when jauntyalan (was it Alan? oh dear the memory's hazy on this point) played THE JAM at Poptimism last night
-not me. heard no jam by the time i left. which was just before 1 i think. blame steve/pete (the odds are on STEVE).
-Oh BLIMEY. I really do have an actual real memory block then, as the next song to get played was THE STYLE COUNCIL and I was all like "omg it is WELLERISM" and oh deearrrrr. Apols to the actual DJ. I am a twit.
-PETE was responsible for jam/style council, not i.
-please accept my apologies for the accusation
-99 problems and a poptimism ain't one.
-OH NO you have just reminded me of whirling around and telling everyone that I got 99 problems but HAVING A BOTTLE OF TASTY CIDER ain't one. OH DEAR. I may go back to bed in a bit.
-I totally felt my voice give out during the mass emote to 'total eclipse of the heart' and again in 'i love this bar'
-You also lent me your sparkly eyeshadow while we chatted about randomness in the loos
-can anyone remember what song I did the 'jumping on my housemate and doing the helicopter movement' thing to this time?
-At one stage in the night I noticed a bar hanging from the ceiling, with a couple of lights attached to it, attempted to run up, jump and swing on it, actually missed it altogether and skidded right across the floor on my arse, very painfully.

Surely this means that poptimism = being pished? (I am happy with this definition! It is also a key part of the Freaky Trigger 'Top 40 X' methodology -- although for years this meant that Licensed to Ill was the greatest album of all time whenever Tom and I met.

I think it's very unfair on everyone else in the world to suggest that poptimism has a monopoly on drinking, dancing like an idiot, and having a good time!

'As far as can tell, all Poptimists are a) ludicrously good looking'

Well your mileage may vary, but it was a higher quotient than usual last Saturday tho - i blame random Spanish teenagers

Perhaps everyone else in the world is poptimist as well.
