Summing up slackerdom

From Adrianne Jeffries' piece in the New York Observer that is not about slackerdom but about hipsterdom, a great description of the former:
... think back to the moment when you realized you were grown up enough to buy candy whenever you wanted. Then imagine extending that phase indefinitely, for years.
As for the article, Jeffries thinks hipsterdom plus money will not yield the quirky idyll Brooklyn's new immigrants envision. She's right.

(Thanks to LongReads for the link, and for the best summary title I've seen in a while: "A Twee Grows in Brooklyn.")
