What emotion does your youth culture valorize and what social form does it envision?

William Deresiewicz takes inventory.

For the hippies, the emotion was love: love-ins, free love, the Summer of Love, all you need is love. The social form was utopia, understood in collective terms: the commune, the music festival, the liberation movement.

The beatniks aimed at ecstasy, embodied as a social form in individual transcendence. Theirs was a culture of jazz, with its spontaneity; of marijuana, arresting time and flooding the soul with pleasure (this was before the substance became the background drug of every youth culture); of flight, on the road, to the West; of the quest for the perfect moment.

The punks were all about rage, their social program nihilistic anarchy. "Get pissed," Johnny Rotten sang. "Destroy." Hip-hop, punk's younger brother, was all about rage and nihilism, too, at least until it turned to a vision of individual aggrandizement.

As for the slackers of the late '80s and early '90s (Generation X, grunge music, the fiction of David Foster Wallace), their affect ran to apathy and angst, a sense of aimlessness and pointlessness. Whatever. That they had no social vision was precisely what their social vision was: a defensive withdrawal from all commitment as inherently phony.

And what of these kids today? Are we going to call them the "hipsters?" Deresiewicz prefers "millennials." He diagnoses the emotion as niceness, which doesn't seem hip at all. (Not that hippies were hip.) Is niceness an emotion? Deresiewicz toys with "post-emotional," then comes up with "the affect of the salesman." And that's not very nice at all. What "social form" do these little jerks get? Deresiewicz assigns them: small business. 

Our culture hero is not the artist or reformer, not the saint or scientist, but the entrepreneur. (Think [...]

Dostana SMS

Dosti Mausam Nahi
Apni Mudat Pori Kare Aur Rukhsat Ho Jaye

Dosti Sawan Nahi
Toot K Barse Aur Tham Jaye

Dosti Aag Nahi
Sulge Bharke Aur Rakh Ho Jaye

Dosti Aftab Nahi
Chamke Aur Dob Jaye

Dosti Phool Nahi
Khile Aur Murjha Jay

Dosti To Saans Hai
Jo Chale To Sab Kuch Hai
Jo
Toot Jaye To Kuch Bhi Nahi...

Hindi Dosti Shayari SMS

Chale jayenge magar yaaden suhani chhod jayenge,
Aapke dil me apni nishani chhod jayenge.
Kabhi royouge to kabhi muskuraoge,
Hum dosti ko vo kahani chhod jayenge.
------------
Dil ki jarurat har jaan ko hoti hai,
Taron ki jarurat har aasman ko hoti hai.
Hamari tamnna hai salamat raho tum,
Kyon ki achchhe dost ki jarurat har insane ko hoti hai.
--------------
Us nazar ki taraf mat dekho,
Jo aapko dekhne se inkar karti ho.
Duniya ki bheed me us nazar ko dekho,
Jo shirf aapka hi intezaar karti ho.
----------------
Kisi se shirf utna hi door hona,
K use aapki ahmiyat ka ehsaas ho jaye.
Lekin kabhi itna bhi door mat hona,
K vo aapke bina jeena seekh jaye.
------------------
Jo dil ke karib hi nahi saanso me base ho,
Dost sachche gar sath ho to roya nahi karte.
Jo ho jeene ki wajah vo har pal yaad aate hai,
Gum me bhi sukun de ese doston ko khoya nahi karte.
--------------------
Din beet jate hai suhani yaaden banker,
Baaten rah jati hai kahani banker.
Par dost to hamesha dil ke karib rahenge,
Kabhi muskan to kabhi aankhon ka pani banker.
