Hey, Jeff -

What the heck is a " . . . crypto-reactionary
"alternative" Puritan . . ."??

It's classic Jeff-Speak, that's what.

LOL!

I guess I should explain. Most people in the so-called "alternative" scene seem secretly to wish it was still some era before THEM DAMN HIPPIES came along, but they don't want to admit it either to themselves or anyone else. Most of them seem to have a certain ascetic, even prudish, streak, too; they seem to think they're being bold and independent-minded by standing up to That Decadent Rock'n'Roll Flamboyance And Debauchery and what have you. It seems like a really stuck-up attitude to me.
