Though we seek anonymity, we choose to submerge our autonomy, instead roaming nomadically through shifting cultural landscapes in pack-like groups.
When we, the hipster generartion, enter elaborate and clandestine public rituals lasting only 7 ADD seconds, what are we seeking? Self? Same? Erasure?
And are we supporting the de-individuation or de-evolution of culture? Or something else?
Take the time to read flash mob creator Bill Wasik's Harper's essay, "My Crowd: Part 1: Or, Phase 5: A report from the inventor of the flash mob". Not only is it a brilliant little essay, it'll also help you to enlighten and question your hipster ways.
