NY Mag loves these status mapping culture-obsession journalism "all the cool kids now are doing blah" pieces. Induces status brow-furrowing in their out-of-touch but trying to still be cool soccer mom readership who read it to catch up on the culture shorthand and still feel hip.
Wow, this deserves more attention. It's hilarious at times and would be perfect as fiction but overall leaves me with a sad and worried feeling when I realize it's fact. I really shudder to think what kind of world we're heading toward.

NY Mag is simultaneously seduced by their subject matter while also being worried about aging, dealing with some class anxiety and lifestyle envy.
