Kul'tura hippi v SHtatah byla razrushena proniknoveniem korporativnyh monstrov, imitirovavshih znaki raspoznavaniya molodezhnoj subkul'tury, no po duhu polyarno dalekih ot hippovskoj mental'nosti. Takaya gibel' postigla vse do edinogo kul'turnye struktury andergraunda, unasledovavshie hippi (pank, industrial...). Lyudi, pritvoryayuschiesya setevikami (kak Wire), no dalekie ot setevoj mental'nosti -- samaya uzhasnaya opasnost' na puti dannoj subkul'tury. Pokamest, vprochem, (v otlichii ot muzyki) koroporativnym monstram ne udaetsya effektivno imitirovat' andergraund (po krainej mere, sravnivaya Wired s publikaciyami Church of "Bob", raznica ochevidna s pol-vzglyada). Negramotnost' (illiteracy) korporativnoj Ameriki nas poka spasaet. Kstati, eto odna iz prichin, pochemu andergraund v russkih setyah obrechen, a Sputnikov, ili skazhem Temu Lebedeva kto-to mozhet nazvat' "setevym hippi": uzh ochen' gramotnaya u nas strana, chto oblegchaet imitaciyu. V obschem, zhivem my v konce vremen -- mnogo li raznicy, pozhrut li oni nas, pered koncom?

P. S. Genesis P-Orridge ochen' tochno opisal process pozhiraniya tvorcheskoj sredy sistemoj:
"Each breakthrough is kidnapped from thee youth/radical culture and is emasculated, mutated and rendered impotent. Only then is it returned to us packaged and harmless to them, as commercial music, token rebellion and obvious yet useless anti-social behaviour that not only ensures thee continued existence of their omnipotence butter also generates increased incoum for their coumfort, security and future research into control."
