Hier geht es, in der New York Times, um eine der jüngeren medialen Neuentdeckungen: die "Blipster". Eigentlich mag ich den Begriff nicht, da er einen neuen kulturellen Stereotypen-- bei dem es auf die Hautfarbe ankommt--erschafft. Ich hab James Sooner eine E-mail geschrieben:
By the way, have you ever heard the word "blipster" ?
I don´t like the term because it can easily be co- opted and it marks black kids who like to listen to punk. New term, new splinter group. I am afraid that this term will be used to label a sort of identity construction that forces people into the fulfillment of roles.
"As for blipster. Yeah . Its bullshit. Media made slang. no one
actually says that. The writer form the new york times read it
somewhere and despite me telling her she would get tons of backlash
for it she printed it. The media is such crap."
