...suburban aristocrat of the title. When he sings along to a new wave tune on the radio, her cheerleaderish friend reacts as is he's reciting from "Mein Kampf." When he and his buddy decide to sneak into a party at her house where jocks in polo shirts cavort to bubbly synth pop, it's not social awkwardness they're worried about; should things go awry, the audience is led to believe, they may be pummeled within an inch of their lives.
