This story, on the rise of grup culture is very interesting. Read and comment and I'll be back later with my own thoughts.
PS: I wrote a very similar piece for Salon.

I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.

I agree with the comments so far: I didn't like that article because it didn't have any substance...so a bunch of 30 something parents are into music and a certain style of dress? So what? I like a lot of the same music mentioned in the article but I certainly cannot afford to dress they way they do or even live the way they do...I also do not feel the need to lump myself into a catagory: that, I agree is quite adolescent. I guess I just didn't get what the author was trying to say: it seemed to be a backhanded compliment or glorification of his own lifestyle.
Your article discussed things like values and work and economics and had a lot more research behind it not to mention a wider scope...
Just because I am a parent doesn't mean I give up my own tastes in music or dress...but it does mean my attitude has been alter...I work harder (and play harder, I think) and my priorities have shifted..
I could go on and on but that article was just really lame and repetitive.
