Source Context
Recovered passages from the original issue text. When the raw archive preserved outbound links inside the source passage, they are listed directly under the quote.
Contrarianism becomes trendy as a form of kind of aesthetic resistance, tethered to meaning not as an idea in and of itself, but as a reflection, as an opposite, and as such it has a lot of give, a lot of plausible deniability. This is not necessarily a political idea - anything that identifies itself largely as what it is not is able to maintain an ephemerality in its substance. And not everything should be solidified in substance, the best things sometimes aren't, something often exists as transient in its golden era and yet -- the counterculture is not a terrain marked by its historic longevity. At a certain point, an alternative either becomes incorporated into the mainstream, or it fades away. When the lines become solidly filled in and something either defines itself or becomes laid bare as empty from the inside... then I think some sort of vibe shift probably follows.
