New Rich Person Trend You Can’t Relate To: Riding ‘The Magic School Bus’ Back To Sindergarten

Today’s “Rich Person Trend You Can’t Relate To” is markedly different than the typical Williamburg loft-buying and dual master bedroom building Manhattanites of trends past. But that’s probably because this latest installment comes not from the usual offender (the New York Times‘ real estate section) but rather from the deep, dark underbelly of Radar.com.

And you won’t believe what these Gen Y prepsters are doing when they’re not updating their MySpace and/or Facebook profiles! The newest rage amongst private school elite?

Coughing up $50 for the privilege of regressing back to their spoiled, six year olds selves aboard a big, yellow school bus.

‘But wait,’ you say, ‘isn’t this just another example of self-indulgent rich kids flaunting their overinflated sense of self-worth and masking their latent immaturity with a highly contrived veneer of naivete?’

The short answer, of course, is yes. But, as Radar’s investagatory journalists reveal, these mini-moguls aren’t just shelling out fifty bucks to ride the school bus, listen to Raffi music and fingerpaint. They’re shelling out fifty bucks to ride the school bus, listen to Raffi music and fingerpaint all while taking hallucinogenic drugs and having wild, underage sex orgies, which will—one day—preclude them from achieving top socialite status when the illicit stories are inevitably leaked to David Patrick Columbia.

And the ringleader of this whole operation?

An unidentified Fieldston senior named “Josh,” who smokes Winston Lights, applied to Michigan (but only as his safety school!) and came up with the idea for “Sindergarten” last summer in the Hamptons while he and some friends were “lamenting the artificiality of their computer-age adolescences.”

And we think “Josh” is totally onto something.

Because nothing helps ease the pain of an overprivileged upbringing like getting fucked up on hallucinogens and having a menage a trois with two guys from your A.P. bio class.
