David Brooks writing about his social circle in his media career like its some kind of grand movement is almost as egregious as him talking down to an entire generation while doing a thinly veiled criticism of his younger wife.
Up next for the book club "literally everyone is a rock star and doing cocaine" by David Lee Roth
Is there not some accuracy to the idea that bourgeois style went from formal, conforming, and restrictive in the immediate post-war period to loose, expressive, and individualized by the end of the century? Tech, business, and finance giants aren't rock stars but it sure seems like they want to be.
You're probably right, I was just quick on the trigger to dunk on on Brooks because he constantly is like "everything is like this now" but it's just happening to him.
Yeah fair, he is categorically a massive turd.
