'Grunge is another example. If you can buy pre-ripped jeans, and shirts with holes in them for hundreds of dollars from luxury stores, then that subculture in its authentic form is long-dead. Once a subculture has been exploited by commerce and adopted by the mainstream, its body remains, but its soul collapses. It becomes like a painted shell: aesthetic but hollow.'
Reading your pieces makes me feel like Im getting a healthy dose of inspiration compared to the junk I inhale from social media! Don't stop writing these! :) Love the format!
I LOVE THIS!
