"Can you believe that people ever aspired to things other than making a bunch of money on stuff or being the best they could possibly be? Well, they did. That was sort of the idea."

For Slate, Alexander Sammon tries out the surfing wave pool at the American Dream complex in #NewJersey: slate.com/life/2024/05/surfing

The timing of this article coming to my attention is pretty wild, considering my wife and I were just talking to the teenagers about this very subject last night during game night.

"Teen Subcultures Are Fading. Pity the Poor Kids."

*AI Summary*: The passage discusses how subcultures have largely collapsed among teenagers today. Instead of meaningful subcultures, teens are presented with thousands of shallow "aesthetics" online that are more like fleeting trends than cultural identities. These aesthetics have little connection to real experiences or communities. The author argues this is problematic as it fails to give teens a way to find identity or meaning through shared cultural experiences. However, one aesthetic called "Peoplehood" focuses on kindness and intimacy, suggesting a potential solution may be reconnecting youth through real-world gatherings and communities.

The Conversation Africa

In South Africa, a skhothane is a young, fashionably dressed black urban resident who engages in destructive conspicuous consumption. This involves regular get-togethers on weekends in which groups of izikhothane – most likely male teenagers – gather to compete in mock battles where luxury items are often destroyed.
