You're both partially right, of course. Have a look at my responses to Baboon upthread where I cover this sort of thing. I feel this recourse to destructive habits as an ease to stress and frustration at upheavals in your life is a rather different thing to the 90s/early 00s mode of consumption where a certain kind of day to day nihlism was accepted as just what one did, indeed was often compatible with being succesful.
