"The idiom of today’s alienated (or anyway, hipster) youth isn’t art or music or literature. It’s turning an idea you have — or maybe your self — into a product."
I suppose I agree with that... in a way...
... think of all the 'online' stuff - myspace, IMing stuff (avatars, blogs, photospaces, videospaces...)...
... it's the world of personal advertising.

In fact, he has a related set of T-shirts coming out in the fall. He called up his friend Futura, the veteran graffiti artist, and asked him to write “Cool Guys”; that will be one of the shirts. “I’m exposing everybody,” Bondaroff says, and includes himself in the critique.

i'd argue that the positive aspect of this is that artists with innovative ideas count with an ever expanding hipster demographic to market products to.

it all stems from insecurity and narcissism. People who lacked attetnion growing up, getting picked on, etc.
Now they are just trying to prove their existence while selling out and buying into the machine.
Funny thing is , they think they are counter culture when it is the complete opposite.
