Is Gamer Culture the New Pop Culture?
It isn’t the first time that counter-culture has made its way into the mainstream—does “flower power” ring any bells?—but to what extent has video game culture been inducted into the houses of pre-pubescent hipsters around the globe? Will the release of long-awaited Diablo 3 really spark an Obama-inauguration-esque celebration? Or will the peak in sales of the oh-so-popular nerd tees turn into an eventual smudge on the fashion radar and dissolve into discussions of “remember what we used to wear back then?!” by aging housewives of the future?
If you ask me, it’s none of the above.
