I'm not scoffing at the petty vandalism, I thought it was humorous to link grafittiing the subway to Luddism.
I had a wonderfully filthy adolescence, and like the subject in the article my parents often didn't know where I was at night. Unlike the subject in the article, it didn't seem to bother them. When I abandoned the C64 to spray paint "Circle Jerks" on the walls, it wasn't a rejection of technology. Spray paint is awesome. If I wanted to create a can of spray paint, I wouldn't even know where to start.
Although if the Teen Luddites had opened for the Circle Jerks, I'm guessing that would have been one ferocious pit.
