It seems that the article is just trying to justify itself and say that Adbuster is better than Vice...when in reality they are in the same camp.
I've actually been writing a book concerning subcultural America and tracing its cultural roots...its the anthropologist in me. That adbuster article is the least anthropological read I've ever had in my life. Closeminded and shortsighted.
Yeah Vice is the lowest of the low. Absolutely zero taste. Even Adbusters is better. And Adbusters is dumb.
The thing that bothered me most is that they somehow painted hipsterdom as the "end of the line". That things could not change (or devolve, as they seem to suggest) further. But that sort of assertion smacks of arrogance, to assume it's possible to make a statement that something cannot further change.
Anyhow it is a stupid article. I hate that magazine.
