Culture is is no longer created by the people.
Our stories, once passed from one generation to the next by parents, neighbours and teachers, are now told by distant corporations with "something to sell as well as tell".
Brands, products, fashions, celebrities, entertainments --- the spectacles that surround the production of culture --- are "our culture" now.
Our role is mostly to listen and watch --- and then, based on what we have heard and seen, to buy.
