Kill All Normies
Angela Nagle - 2017-06-30
Goodreads Rating
"Kill All Normies" dives into the battle of internet culture wars, where alt right and feminist movements clash in cyber space. The author analyses the revival of 90s culture wars and explores the cultural genealogies and past parallels of these styles and subcultures. Drawing from transgressive styles of 60s libertinism and conservative movements, "Kill All Normies" is an engaging read that makes the case for rejecting the perpetual cultural cycle.
