There is way, way too much of this avant guardism (pseudo-avant guardism, really), perpetuated and promulgated by lazy, indolent cis-het white boomers, invariably of the male variety, who think a loud jumper and contrivedly-stoked 'controversialism' makes them somehow more 'interesting' and appropriate dinner party guests garnering the kudos and flattery of an Old English eccentric. Of course, it is their own flabby and clapped out egotism that allows them to misperceive their interestingness.

I think that I would gauge the life-expectancy and usefulness of those types as I would a tired, clapped out old iPhone battery that is long overdue being replaced.
