I used to walk around in the ridiculous big pants and speak the slang.

我以前喜欢穿一些滑稽的大叉裤，讲一些脏话。

Well when I was a teenager, I definitely followed the mainstream, even if it wasn’t most popular.

当我在青少年的时候，我绝对追随的是主流，即使它不是最受欢迎的。

So when i was a younger teenager, like 13 or 14, I fall for rap, because that’s what everybody like. it’s rap. When I was older I stop liking rap, I start to think how stupid it was. And I fall for rock.

所以当我更小的时候，大概13,14岁的样子，我爱上了说唱，因为所有人都喜欢它。但当我长大一些之后我就不爱了，我开始会想喜欢说唱真的太蠢了。并且我爱上了摇滚。

Because rock was against the normal rock was you know something different. But I was still following that mainstream idea.

因为摇滚是在反对一些正常的东西，它所表达的是一些不一样的。但我依旧追随那些主流观念。

For example I really want to listen to jazz. But in the same time I don’t dedicate my life to jazz, wear what the jazz people do, talk the way jazz people talk. i think i’m a normal guy, i just listen to jazz. it’s something I enjoy.

打个比方，我真的想听爵士乐。但同时，我不会让我的生活充满爵士乐，不会穿他们爱穿的，也不会讨论他们爱讨论的。我觉得我只是个很普通的人，我只是想听爵士乐，并享受它。

And I’m more mellow. I don’t get upset so easily. I mean, now I don't like to argue. I don't really care is someone disagrees with me and If someone calls me an idiot, I'm not so eager to fight.

我变得更成熟了，我不会再那么容易心烦意燥。我是想说，现在我不再喜欢争论。我也不会那么在意别人意见和我相不相同，哪怕有人嘲笑我，我也不会那么想揍他了。

I used to be an asshole to my mom when I was a teenager. I would just fight and argue. It’s like, my mother tells me to do something, say “TJ clean your room”. obviously I need to clean my room, it’s trash, but I’ll argue, just ‘cause I don’t like being told what to do. 

当我年轻的时候，对于我妈来说我是个很讨厌的人。我就只会打架和争吵。就像我妈让我做一些事情说：TJ把你自己房间打扫了。很显然我需要打扫我的房间，里面全是垃圾。但我还是会和她争论，因为我就是很讨厌别人命令我去做某事。

It is the rebellious phase we go through when we are teenagers.

大家都有过愤怒的青少年时期啊。
