Rebellion as a coping mechanism for economic inequality:
The Beatniks: We aren’t wealthy, but we don’t need it.
We will find fulfillment in life’s experiences.
The hippie movement: We aren’t wealthy, but we don’t need it.
Love will get us through.
The punks: We aren’t wealthy, but we don’t need it.
We embrace living with less and rage against those who disagree.
The slackers: We aren’t wealthy, and we have to not care.
Thinking about it makes us too sad.
Hip hop: We aren’t wealthy, but we know someone who got there.
Maybe there’s hope.
And now today: We aren’t wealthy, and we never will be.
We can be happy anyway.
