I think this is about generational changes
Hippies were a reaction against mindless '50s consumerism
Punk was a reaction against the hippie movement
Mindless '80s consumerism was a reaction against Punk
1990s grunge-rock and rap and hip hop culture was a reaction
Against mindless '80s consumerism
And our current 2000s consumerism
Is a reaction against everything
Leading back to an almost 1950s state of mind of
"Whoever has the most toys wins"
Just look at Hannah Montana and High School Musical and The Jonas Bros.
(It's like Elvis Presley or early Beatle Mania all over again)
But pretty soon we ought to expect another movement
(Is Emo a widespread social movement yet?)
