Here's a piece on the "burnouts" of the '80s. Think Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club.
It makes a case that the burnouts were nothing more than a marginalization of working class Americans that was going on in Reagan's America. Their parents lives were turning to shit and so would their's.
Today, the article argues that the 1% are actually the marginal.
If that's true - and I'm not saying it is - then perhaps we are at a pivot point culturally and economically.
I'll wait and see though.
