John Waters Constructive Criticism

Text on the meme

“When I was young there were beatniks. Hippies. Punks. Gangsters. Now you’re a hacktivist. Which I would probably be if I was 20. Shuttin’ down MasterCard. But there’s no look to that lifestyle! Besides just wearing a bad outfit with bad posture. Has WikiLeaks caused a look? No! I’m mad about that. If your kid comes out of the bedroom and says he just shut down the government, it seems to me he should at least have an outfit for that.” - John Waters on the sorry style of today’s rebels (WSJ) the only criticism of millennials I accept Constructive Criticism My Eco-Terrorist Son is Absolutely Dripless

What it means

A screenshot collage features a quote from John Waters criticizing modern rebels for lacking a distinctive fashion style, alongside a formal garden portrait of Waters and captions about accepting constructive criticism and an eco-terrorist son being “dripless.” The joke is a humorous reaction to criticism of millennials, reframing it as a complaint about their clothing and lack of style rather than their politics or activism.
