It's a well-argued piece which examines the phenomenon from a perspective outside of the cultural context in which it was created.

If you disagree with the author's argument, could you be more specific as to why?

I've written a response but unfortunately it doesn't fit in a comment. I think this is reasonable since your linked article doesn't either. Hopefully you'll consider this:
