Sometimes you just end up on the wrong shelf

On the wrong shelf In a harsh consumerist world, identity crisises can be found everywhere you look.

Something about subcultures

The backside of being in the avant-garde is that, at first the things you treasure are scorned at, until they, almost certainly, at some point are assimilated into pop-culture, and all of a sudden are looked upon as cool or desirable. The next step is when they become cogwheels for commercial consumerism, and the value they once held, is sucked from them and exploited for profit. On the other hand this drives us to a constantly progressing creativity. Whatever is taken from us, we will replace with something better, crazier, sweeter or more enjoyable.
