[An amalgamation of its own history, the youth of the West are left with consuming cool rather that creating it. The cultural zeitgeists of the past have always been sparked by furious indignation and are reactionary movements. But the hipster’s self-involved and isolated maintenance does nothing to feed cultural evolution. Western civilization’s well has run dry. The only way to avoid hitting the colossus of societal failure that looms over the horizon is for the kids to abandon this vain existence and start over.]
So the “hipsters are the downfall of ALL OF WESTERN CIV” story has rapidly been making it’s way around the nets. This part: “In the end, hipsters are sold what they think they invent and are spoon-fed their pre-packaged cultural livelihood,” rings pretty true to me right now.
