The Vibe Shift I've Been Waiting For

Meg Walters: Anne Hathahate was rooted in misogyny - and a new generation aren’t standing for it

Our sudden acceptance of the earnest celebrity isn’t merely a fluke – it’s a symptom of a much larger cultural shift. As a new generation comes of age, new values, priorities and perspectives are also taking hold. A millennial preference for irony, edge and sarcasm has been phased out. Earnestness is in, as are the stars that have most famously embodied it.

I like to say that I love loving things, so obviously this is a vibe shift I can get behind.
