Fraggle Rock – like, “Jim Henson makes Sesame Street for ‘creative class’ yuppie kids so instead of learning the alphabet in a functioning, multicultural inner city it’s personal exploration bullshit on an escapist commune and instead of public broadcasting it’s on premium cable” was such a good synecdoche of the 1980s

A tribe of whimsical, neurotic explorers, artists, and dreamers full of individuality, structured between a mass of indistinguishable get-r-done workers happy to produce a surplus for consumption and a gratuitously mean, ignorant, arrogant set of provincials.

Fraggle Rock was a pretty clear take on how the emerging “creative class” yuppies saw themselves in the early 80s, huh?
