Just learned @rivatez coined term "mediocrity porn" - love it & it totally describes my observations!
It's not = "everybody should try their best; only a few will succeed but it will be worth it"
But =
- success is neither binary nor are spots limited
- not everybody but most

@vgr coined “premium mediocre” - kinda similar1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -
premium mediocre seems more of an aesthetic and style? all the big fashion co’s are doing this, see vetements, balenciaga etc. mediocrity porn is social, championing the mundane as the ultimate aspiration and poo-pooing success and drives behind it. see: contemporary socialism

Nope. It’s a neo-bourgeoisie ethic that expresses itself as an aesthetic. It is neither socialism nor capitalism. It is faking crony capitalist striving hoping to get lucky. Read my original post if that’s unclear.https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2017/08/17/the-premium-mediocre-life-of-maya-millennial/ …
