The Jالی Contrarian
Der fröhliche Nonkonformist
“Premium mediocrity is not clueless, tasteless consumption of mediocrity under the mistaken impression that it is actual luxury consumption. Maya Millennial is aware that what she is consuming is mediocre at its core, and only “premium” in some peripheral (and importantly, cheap, such as French-for-no-reason branding) ways. But she consumes it anyway.”
- —Venkatesh Rao, The Premium Mediocre Life of Maya Millennial (2017)
