Carl goes one better:

Abbotomized

As in "frontal abbotomy".

And it was staring me in the face all along!

well clearly we need a term for the opposite of Wyatting... hipsters falling prey to the pull of the plebeian, their cool crumbling as they helplessly succumb to that caged-in longing to join in....

hmmm, how about....

Abbotized?

as in "oh what an atmosphere/I love a party with a happy atmosphere"...

"Sodcasting"--the streets's version of Wyatting*, perhaps?


* also diagnosed/semi-defended by somebody, i forget who, as a doomed, pathos-laden attempt to reassert the social dimension of music, resist the privatisation of public sonic space....
