Youth Car Culture Isn't Dead, This Washington Post Story Just Sucks - Jalopnik
It’s time to stop letting the car culture from decades past dictate and define the car culture of not even the future, but the reality of the world right now. For too long, modern enthusiasts have allowed the media narrative on cars to revolve around experiences from the 1950s and 1960s. The result is this dumpster fire of a story, and it needs to end. There’s a ton of problems with this particular piece but the biggest one is that Fisher didn’t appear to have talked to a significant number of young people, let alone young car enthusiasts. In fact, it looks like he talked to just a handful of people under the age of 45 for a story about – wait for it – young people. And his idea of car culture is a hilariously dated one centered around decades-old experiences. It defines car culture as making out with your best gal in the back seat of your Bel-Air behind the malt shop, and pretty much nothing else. (Speaking of girls, in this version of car culture, they need to shut up because this club is for boys only. Not only does the Post not know what youth car culture is, they didn’t even bother to look in the right places or ask the right people about it. If they had, they would have found some incredible things. Source: jalopnik.com
