It seems as if everything is turned upside-down in our culture today. Think about it: Good has become bad and bad has become good. This is even true of the slang expressions we use today.
Back when I was a kid, words like "far out" and "groovy" were popular, although I could never bring myself to actually say "groovy." Some of these terms have gone by the wayside, but certain expressions dating back to the 1950s are still popular today, like "cool." Here in the 21st century, people still say "cool."
But today, we have another word, "hot," which means the same thing as "cool." To take it a step further, if something is really cool or really hot, we say that it's "bad."
If you have a really fast car, someone might ask you, "How fast will that bad boy go?" They wouldn't ask, "How fast will that good boy go?" because good is bad and bad is good. Everything is turned upside-down.
In the old days—back when more people would try to live a moral life—if someone did drugs or had sex before they were married, people would say, "Oh, that is bad," and "bad" actually meant bad.
But now in our twisted culture....
