WHy has "The Merchants of Cool" largely been forgotten? I found that that documentary, and your involvement in it, helped explain how pop culture contributed to the current moment going back to the 1990s. I felt like it was one of the best social documentaries ever made. But now no one brings it up and it seems to have been forgotten. What are your thoughts on "The Merchants of Cool" and do you think it's still a relevant analysis?

Thanks for the reply. I remember seeing it vividly when it first aired and I loved it. I still think it's relevant; I genuinely think the "mook"/"midriff" stuff definitely contributed to the toxicity of online culture and gender relations in the current era, for instance. I would love for more people to go dig it out and watch it. Thanks again!
