I know there are artsy people who would resent being advertised towards in this scenario, and who would find Converse less cool and tend not to buy it as a result. So I know these people exist and suppose I am one of them as well. But I guess I don’t think it’s actually a fixed group, I think I’m just making a claim about a rough ordering of people (or maybe even a continuous ordering) from having more to less refined taste, and somewhere along this line divides people from “likely to be affected by Converse ads / not very discriminating” and “unlikely to be affected by Converse ads / very discriminating”.
May I ask how you define the actual artsy counterculture?
