Pretty much it's one of the other ones.
Yeah, it's Will Grayson, Will Grayson.
One of my teenage friends had read and liked that book -- I was in a John Green binge a couple years ago and read that, and the fact that he had mentioned Neutral Milk Hotel completely blew over my head, then.
I didn't even look them up.
The Mountain Goats are also mentioned,
in Looking for Alaska.
I doubt WGWG's mention of NMH brings them many new fans.

oh I meant to also mention
that neither did she -- that is,
look up NMH. When I mentioned one time,
when we were driving somewhere together,
that I had liked them, she remembered,
I think, hearing their name before, in
Will Grayson, Will Grayson, or I did,
after the fact, but she wasn't much
aware of them, no.

oh ok I was wrong dang well still. I mentioned looking forward to seeing them again and that's how I found out.

oops.
I just asked his tumblr if he went on /lit/
shit.
he'll probably ignore it.
sidenote, I am myself a white man, and
while I use faggot and nigga/nigger,
I only ever use them on here;
they're just part of the culture here.
I'd never use them anywhere else, really.

then again, I don't really care for his
opinions that much anyway, after
he got all panty-twisted when
death grips named the first disc of

There's no reason to feel guilty. Somebody on here phrased it well a while back with 'aloof hostility'. The 4chan environment is naturally taxing and aggressive so people naturally accommodate to it.
Even slower boards with high post-quality like /po/ and /diy/ occasionally slip into calling each other children and faggots.
There's nothing wrong with it provided you can leave the habit at the door on your way out.
As one of two admins of a much smaller chan, I can confirm that people who come from 4chan are immediately recognizable by their language.

People who get offended by vocabulary rather than its use in context are usually people you want to disregard
