It got NYLON'd.

Of course, it would only be a matter of time before NYLON would infiltrate the "Museum" scene. I suppose I'm contributing to this infection by attending many museum events with the same people. But in some way or another, we are there for different reasons. Not even on an art-historical level where I can confidently say I go exclusively for the arts--but more just..."Is that all you have to say?"- level.

I hate to use these people as the guinea pigs--who knows, maybe they really did go to the MoMA to see the galleries, and met new people, and had interesting conversations. But maybe they really just used that as a venue to size up each other's vintage store finds, smoke their packs of American Spirits, and take advantage of the lenient rules of museum cash bars. (hm..come to think of it most people treat museum events this way)



Sure it looks cool, and they have great style. But imagine how much cooler it would be if you were intellectually invested in the world around you other than your vintage outfit. Imagine if NYLON had re-done the video and interviewed kids, who not only looked cool, but asked them to speak a little bit more in depth about what the arts mean to them. Even a simple, "Why did you come here tonight?" would have been sufficient. I know in reality, NYLON would never do that because they've made their fortune on kids with cool clothes. But I felt this video def. dumbed our generation down two-fold.

God, I want to have a conversation with this guy. He's actually doing something meaningful with hit record.org



So hot.
