Stuff White People Like
As much as it pains me that some other person's blog gets a billion more hits than me, it's still pretty hilarious and accurate, although it seems as though it should be called "Stuff Yuppies Like."
Throughout history, aristocrats and peasants have agreed on very little save for the fact that middle class is self-conscious, inauthentic, hollow and grasping. SWPL just dresses up the old bourgeois stereotype with a little pop-cultural racism. It's smug and cynical, and its politics are ugly and dangerous. I don't like it.
Oh man I love that blog. But you're right about it being stuff yuppies like. Or stuff hipsters like.
