I believe that what is happening is a change in social order norms.   Some
groups are feeling more freedom and are letting loose; as a new phenomenon
folks are still sorting out what is helpful and what is just nihilism.
 Some of the anger is being taken out on "normie" art and custom but is not
substituting a new vision.   Hopefully this is a short period and we will
begin a new more interesting phase with more balanced participation.

All that said, I don't understand this in Austin.   Unemployment is low
with jobs available throughout the skill and income spectrum.   The city is
friendly to all lifestyles as can be imagined.   The only real downside is
the cost of housing and taxes in the desirable areas: there is a lot of
anger that I can't afford to live where I want to live.  Little
understanding of tradeoffs with distance to work,  space,  amenities,  and
roommates/ significant other choices.

Unlike Chicago the city is friendly to garage apartments or small detached
rentals behind the main structure so the housing is there but possibly not
like Pintrest.
