In a new collection of essays, Chuck Klosterman takes a stand against the millennial urge to reassess the 1990s—and the generation claiming ownership of them.
” , and then amplified ad nauseam by a vapid clutch of contemporary trendspotting articles—was characterized almost from its inception as a set of numbly disaffected ne’er-do-wells whose idea of resisting a culture steeped in entertainment’s sorcery and advertising’s logic was neither to rage against them nor to escape them but to ape them with unnerving exactitude. Klosterman has come not to bury these stereotypes but to praise them.
Klosterman does cock an obligatory thumb, in “The Nineties,” toward the fact that the stereotypes don’t apply to most people born during the nineteen-sixties and seventies. Generation X is a great deal more earnest and less white than its traditional portrayals. But he has an audience to please:is his implicit slogan.
More rerun than revisionism, Klosterman’s history takes its stand against the millennial urge to reassess the nineties in the harsh light of later events. If Gen X disengagement and ironic fence-sitting were brought up short by Bush v. Gore and 9/11 and the rise of social media, he wants to preserve the nineties as a safe space for his cohort. And so he remains a participant-observer of a culture in which spectacle supplants truth.
