Everyone who is celebrated now, will be celebrated by future hipsters. Guaranteed.

Imagine future hipsters reading Music Banter instead of Homer, what kind of future world are we creating here?

It would be interesting to see if they even know what a book is in a hundred years let alone a thousand.

John Irving and Haruki Murakami are gods. Anyone who actually reads can confirm this
