Description: "Through funny, engaging, and occasionally devastating essays about his experience in the thick of the music and art scene of the 1990's, Bracewell tackles a decade where Greed became disguised as "Attitude," where a "cozy, urban feelgood fable" replaced punk, and where the role of anxiety, so intrinsic to the culture and music of the 1980's, was swapped for a shallow "I feel your pain" sensibility."--Jacket.
