*Low-Culture Manifesto
Delve into the world of post modern American culture and be ready to analyze the world around you in a broader sense that most just brush off their shoulders. Klosterman attacks the aspects of pop culture and how our mind has been clouded from reality. Every individual carries around a story that continues to be written with every choice and decision they make, and as an accumulative society, we write our history with the choices we make as a community. Klosterman examines how with those who do not live up to the expectations of how we present ourself to the rest of the world, are considered outcasts, for example, on television they show beautiful girls ruling society, and this puts the imagine into young girls minds to conform to society’s image of realistic success. As the book progresses, he incorporates his own personal lifestyle to the writing, while in a creative way displays the claim he wants to get across.
The book also includes passages that depict how everything relating to “freedom” comes with a routine and as human beings we are tied down with the process of living. We are enslaved by our unique culture of perfection meeting the border of reality in which there is a very slim separation. This new generation is growing up exposed to a false gimmick called the American Dream, which has now transformed into false love, fake body image and stereotypical biases. Get ready to be exposed in your way of life and the lives of others as Klosterman analyzes the post-modern American.
